All I Need Lyrics

I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the days
That you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all right
It's all right
It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all wrong
It's all right

What is the Meaning of All I Need?

In this hauntingly beautiful composition, the protagonist depicts an intense longing and dependence on a person who seems oblivious to their existence. The metaphors of being an 'animal trapped in a hot car' or a 'moth wanting to share light' symbolize desperation and unreciprocated affection. There's a sense of self-deprecation as they see themselves merely 'lying in the reeds' of the other person’s life. However, despite the pain, there's acceptance - signified by alternating lines of 'it's all wrong' and 'it's all right'. This song encapsulates the tormenting yet addictive nature of unrequited love and how it can make one feel insignificant yet entirely consumed at the same time. #UnrequitedLove #EmotionalDependence
