WANTED U

Joji's 'WANTED U' is a raw and emotional portrayal of desire and the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the struggle to communicate one's true feelings. The opening lines, 'Here I am, Torn into a thousand shapes and folds,' suggest a state of inner turmoil and fragmentation, possibly due to the intensity of the emotions the speaker is experiencing. The reference to 'fornicate inside your broken homes' could imply a sense of intimacy within a flawed or damaged setting, hinting at the imperfect nature of human connections.

As the song progresses, the speaker admits to a lack of clarity in their thoughts and feelings, as indicated by the line 'I can't tell if all my answers correlate at all.' This confusion is juxtaposed with a deep certainty about their need for the other person, expressed in the repeated lines 'I've been missing a long time to know I had to move, I've been waiting my whole life to know I wanted you.' The song captures the moment of realization when one understands the depth of their longing for someone else.

The chorus, 'Are you feeling me slowly? You can take your fucking time,' is a plea for patience and understanding, as the speaker is willing to wait for the other person to reciprocate their feelings. The promise 'I won't lie, We'll make it out alive' suggests a commitment to honesty and the hope that both individuals will emerge from their emotional journey unscathed. Overall, 'WANTED U' is a poignant exploration of the yearning for connection and the courage it takes to be open about one's desires.
