Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
Chorus
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
Chorus
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
Chorus
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know
why
Why
I don't know

Review about Everything You Want Interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/22/09
The band wrote this song about a man struggling with himself. He's basically talking to himself, saying "hey wake up, everything you want is right in front of you, why are you letting it pass you by?". You can interpret this song however you want, that's what music is about, but the band themselves have said the meaning I have just wrote about.
I really, really love this song. The way you interpret it has so many possiblities, and that makes it even better.
I personally believe it's about someone who's in love with someone else, and is basically perfect for her/him, and she/he knows it, but can't 'feel' it. Maybe that person is waiting for something else? I'm not sure. But I feel really sorry for the one in love.
Unfortunately, that's because I'm the one singing the song.
i don't think you get it. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/16/09
sorry i think it's ridiculous that people think they can make songs that were not suppose to be religious.. religious. if this song was suppose to be about jesus, the band would would be categorized Christian which it is not.
for me i have a good connection with this song.
i've been in love with this guy who has been ruining my life for about a year now..
we are on and off and he has complete advantage of me.
we recently just broke up for the 5th time.
but i still have a lot of feelings for him. he says i'm amazing. and i know i am completely perfect for him.. but he keeps going away ): i do everything right... but he still doesn't like me.
hello.. | Reviewer: Ariel | 10/16/09
this song is really deep and powerfull.. im only 17 and i can really realate to it and i still remember haring it back in the 90's.. it doesnt matter if its about god or whoever. to me i see it both ways, it can be about god or a relationship. either way its really good i like it
My Connection | Reviewer: Haley | 8/29/09
as long as ive known this song not once did i pay attention to its meaning or even the words..until now. this is an amazing song and i feel like i have such a strong connection with it because i am going through the exact same thing. i finally found this amazing guy that really cares about me and i know that he can be everything i need. but for some reason i keep pushing away. i dont know why. he could sing this song to me and it would fit perfectly. listening to it makes me realize what i finally have the chance to have, that most girls would die for. the more i listen to this song i think of how im turning down the one guy that could ever give me what i want and need. i wish i could make myself love him. But i cant.
To me...this is quite a spiritual song...I think that person is Jesus. Look at it from that point of view. Just try it. He's just like this. I don't know if the band intentional did this or if this song "came to them in a dream". He does that, too.
HE's everything you want...and you don't know why. That's your God given feeling of "something's missing, but I don't know what it is. Just something is there...and I can't explain it." Look at it from His point of view..the whole song. I truly hope that this is what the song is about.
wow all of you guys really and truly are dumb! ever seen the musice vdo? for one its a christian rock song and its about the mistakes and stuff you know youve made but cant fix them he wants to be a diff person and knows he should but doesnt know why he cant! wow its def not a love song you ppl are fucking crazy
wow..i've known this song for so long and this is the first time i've actually payed any attention to the lyrics and what i think its trying to say..to me, i think this song is about:someone who has a great person in there life,whos right in front of their face,that is the right person for them,and has all the right characteristics..basically they are perfect for eachother.but that person still doesnt want them,they always try to find something more..but maybe they won't find it.maybe thats the best they'll ever have,maybe thats the right person for them ,they just cant see it. this reminds me of my bestfriend and i...he's loved me for so many years,has always wanted a chance,will do anything for me,and i know he'd never hurt me,he treats me like im the only girl in the world..he's helped me through breakups..for some reason i keep falling for the bad guys,but never him,the good one. he's too much of a brother to me,and i wouldnt want to jepordize our friendship for something that might not last if i ever decided to give "us"a chance. basically he's the perfect guy for me but i still cant see myself with him and i feel awful about that. my friends and family even joke, that though i may not see him as more than a friend now, in a couple of years him and i will get married.
but i guess you never know.
whether its him or not, i hope i find an amazing guy that is going to be in love with me as much as i am with him,forever.
What this song really means | Reviewer: Sky Reno | 5/7/09
Every one knows there is something out there but we can never reach it...every body calls it god but know one puts him into their daily life.This song really is about how people say they believe but the don't put in the dedication to believe.The singer is actually speaking for and through god..,..
My interpretation | Reviewer: never the same | 5/6/09
This is why I love music! It speaks so differently to each of us.
This is how understand the song to be:
I think this is more than just a person in love with a someone who they think they are perfect for, but can't understand why this person doesn't love them back. I think if you listen closely throughout the song you'll see that this person is simply scared. It seems like they've been hurt in the past, maybe multiple times and instead of letting go and allowing themselves to love this other person, they are putting up a wall keeping them out, because they're worried everything is just going to fall apart again. They're not even giving this person (who could be so wonderful for them) a chance because they're so scared of what MIGHT happen. It's almost as if they're anticipating another relationship failure that's going to leave them alone and miserable because in that way, at least they won't be surprised or caught off guard.
Anyway, THAT'S what I get out of it. Maybe because I'm that scared person...
