All I Want
XXI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As your soul drifts away
We won't forget the memories we've made
I know that you're with me
When I scream out your name
We won't forget the memories we've made
Taste the clouds
Colors saturated into blinding figures
I can't look away
I can't look away
You've left us all behind
And now I have to live my life
Without a chance to say
You're in a better place
That's what they say to me
But I still see your face in my memories
I've got a heavy heart
And a restless mind
But I know it'll heal with time
Tour the world
That was our dream
I can't believe that you're gone without a chance to see it now
I still try to hear your voice
It's only silence at this point
All I seem to want these days is to say goodbye
Funny how this feels like hell, when you're the one that's really alive
I, I see you when I close my eyes
But then I always have to wake back up
I. I need you to remind me
That you are truly free
Your words are burned forever in time
Inside the music we would write
I'll keep reminding myself your alive
You're still alive
You're still alive
You're in a better place
That's what they say to me
But I still see your face in my memories
I've got a heavy heart
And a restless mind
But I know it'll heal with time
You leave your body behind
As your soul drifts away
We won't forget the memories we've made
I know that you're with me
When I scream out your name
We won't forget the memories we've made
The song "All I Want" by XXI portrays the feelings of grief and loss after losing someone you love. The song is a tribute to a loved one who has passed away, and the lyrics vividly explains how the death has affected the band members. The lyrics describe how the departed soul’s body is left behind, while the soul drifts away, and the memories they shared. The song conveys that the pain of loss is not easy to forget, and the feeling of grief can linger on for a long time. The lyrics suggest that it is only through time that one can heal and move on with life.
The lyrics also paint a picture of how the death of a loved one can shatter dreams and aspirations, and how the living can feel the weight of the situation. The loss of the person has left a hole that cannot be filled. The vocalist confesses that he sees his loved one in his memories, but when he opens his eyes, he realizes that the person is no more. The feeling is unbearable, and he needs someone to remind him that the departed soul is at peace, and he needs to move on with life.
The song "All I Want" is a tribute to one of the band members, a drummer Tyler "TJ" Snelson, who passed away after battling depression. The band members have mentioned in interviews that composing this song was painful and therapeutic. They want the song to let others know that they are not alone in their pain and that it is okay to talk about their feelings.
