I Want

Intro : You had the gun I had the horse We took a photograph Now I can't find my way back   And all i'm grieving was a dream I'm down this rabbit hole Even this madness cannot shield this soul There's so much labor just in breathing lately... There's so much labor just in breathing lately... There's so much labor just in breathing lately... I want the ocean open up before me I want the aching of a melody I want a comrade to share this with me I want to want just to want just a little something I want the ocean open up before me I want the aching of a melody I want a comrade to share this with me I want to want just to want anything Take these seeds and burn them all So they don't take root in me I cannot face up-stream He abandoned ship to join a war Hope he's victorious The water level is rising in this styrofoam cup. There's so much labor just in breathing lately... There's so much labor just in breathing lately... There's so much labor just in breathing lately... I want the ocean open up before me I want the aching of a melody I want a comrade to share this with me I want to want just to want just a little something I want to feel the power of a psalm I want the light to carry me along I want to feel the wind upon my skin I want the life-force back in my blood again I want the ocean open up before me I want the aching of a melody I want a comrade to share this with me I want to want just to want anything

La chanson évoque un profond sentiment de quête, de nostalgie et de désespoir. Elle parle d'un voyage intérieur où l'artiste se sent perdu, cherchant un sens dans un monde en désordre. Il y a ce désir de liberté, une aspiration à voir les horizons s'ouvrir et à ressentir la beauté des mélodies qui résonnent en nous. L’artiste ressent le poids de la vie, ce qui rend chaque souffle lourd, et il aspire à partager son expérience avec un compagnon, en quête d'une connexion véritable et d'une sérénité. On ressent aussi une métaphore puissante avec les éléments naturels, comme l'océan, symbolisant à la fois la vaste liberté et les émotions qui débordent. Cela suggère une recherche de réconfort, comme si l’artiste espérait retrouver la force et la vitalité qui lui manquent. La chanson place ainsi l'individu face à ses luttes internes tout en exprimant un espoir de renaissance et de partage.
