Want To Do
Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

What I want to do
Is wake up
Get a cup of coffee and
Let my head breathe a little
Try to think for myself just a little
In my sight and in my mind
I can see the picture even
Though you say I'm blind
I (I)
Wanna (Wanna)
Do it ( Do it)
My way
I (I)
Wanna (Wanna)
Do it (Do it)
My way
My way
Self-taught amateur counting on a pipe dream
I had when I was 14
No not
Oblivious to the struggle
Doing just fine staying out of trouble
Gone and been over it in my head
The dangers and the risks are high
I got
Myself into this
But I know myself enough to know why
(Why)
(Why)
(Why)
I (I)
Wanna (Wanna)
Do it (Do it)
My way
I (I)
Wanna (Wanna)
Do it (Do it)
My way
My way
There's a formulaic answer to the
Things that you have asked of me to do
And I'm Inclined to break tradition it's my
Point of view
Don't get it confused
With ignorance say that I'm missing it
Feel like dismissing it
Say that I'm missing it
Feel like...
So I'm gonna do it my way




I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Want To Do" by Wilson delve into themes of independence, self-determination, and a strong desire to assert one's own identity and choices. The singer expresses a longing to take control of their life and make decisions based on their own thoughts and instincts. The lyrics paint a picture of the singer seeking solitude and clarity, wanting to break free from external influences and opinions to think for themselves. This yearning for autonomy is symbolized by the simple act of waking up and having a cup of coffee, allowing the mind to breathe and process thoughts independently.


The mention of being a "self-taught amateur counting on a pipe dream" reflects a sense of defiance and determination to pursue one's goals and aspirations, even if they seem unrealistic or unattainable to others. The singer acknowledges the risks and challenges ahead but remains focused on their own reasons for making certain choices. This introspective exploration of self-awareness and understanding one's motivations underscores the inner strength and conviction driving the singer to follow their own path.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea of breaking away from conventional expectations and norms, as indicated by the mention of a "formulaic answer" and traditional expectations imposed on the singer.

This rebellious spirit is rooted in a deep-seated sense of individuality and the refusal to be swayed by external judgments or criticisms.


Ultimately, the repeated refrain "I wanna do it my way" echoes the central theme of the song, highlighting the singer's unwavering commitment to embracing their own agency and making decisions according to their own values and desires. The defiant declaration to do things "my way" serves as a powerful affirmation of self-confidence and empowerment, embodying the courage to stand firm in the face of opposition and pursue one's own unique path, regardless of obstacles or doubts.

@loladanger

I want to tell you how awesome you are. This song is validating AF. I'm 40 and the closest thing I ever had to a bisexual anthem were songs from men who were writing about performative bisexuality with straight men involved. I love how you included that you have actual relationships with multiple genders while claiming your orientation as distinctly different from being straight or gay. I love this.
