Want You Around

Eyedress's song 'Want You Around' delves into the emotional turmoil and longing that comes with being separated from a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's vulnerability and dependence on the presence of his significant other. The repeated lines, 'Girl I'm not ok / When you're not by my side,' emphasize the depth of his emotional distress when she is away. This sense of longing is further amplified by the recurring mention of her having to go to work, which serves as a constant reminder of their time apart.

The song captures the duality of emotions experienced in a relationship where physical presence is limited. On one hand, the artist expresses profound sadness and a sense of incompleteness when his partner is not around, as seen in lines like 'I feel so crazy / Feel like I'm gonna die.' On the other hand, there is a stark contrast when he describes the joy and fulfillment he feels when she is present, 'Girl I feel so great / When you are around.' This juxtaposition highlights the significant impact that her presence has on his emotional well-being.

Eyedress uses simple yet powerful language to convey the rawness of his emotions. The repetition of phrases such as 'I just want you around' and 'Wish that you would stay' underscores the desperation and yearning for a more constant companionship. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and the joy of reunion, making it a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the human need for connection.
