You Want Everything

Snowmine's 'You Want Everything' delves into the complexities of desire, relationships, and the emotional turmoil that comes with wanting too much. The song opens with a vivid depiction of a troubled mind, where the protagonist is 'sleeping wide awake,' indicating a state of restlessness and anxiety. This contrasts sharply with the partner who is 'sleeping like you're dead,' suggesting a disconnect or emotional distance between the two. The imagery of 'a hole behind your smile' and 'the distance in your eye' further emphasizes this emotional gap, painting a picture of a relationship strained by unmet expectations and unspoken issues.

The recurring line 'It's gonna crack' serves as a metaphor for the breaking point that the relationship is approaching. The 'statue' symbolizes the facade or the emotional armor that the protagonist has built, which is now on the verge of shattering. The lyrics suggest that holding onto the pieces of this broken statue is futile, and one must come to terms with the fact that they may never be whole again. This is a poignant reflection on the impermanence of relationships and the emotional baggage that comes with them.

The chorus, 'You want, you want everything,' serves as a stark warning about the dangers of insatiable desire. The song suggests that striving for perfection or wanting too much can be self-destructive, likening it to 'suicide.' This is further complicated by the acknowledgment that 'this is a mess' and the constant 'picking sides,' which highlights the conflicts and regrets that often plague relationships. Despite the chaos, there is a glimmer of hope as the protagonist finds solace in the fact that their partner makes them 'feel alive,' suggesting that even in the mess, there is something worth holding onto.
