Wants and Haves

bhengen

phrenetic lyrics. not perfect, but trying to express the frustration of wanting what you cannot have

also, this song won't be for many ;)

[Intro]

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[Verse 1]

Caught in a battle of wants and haves, my mind,

My mind is broken, My mind is broken.

Caught in a battle of wants and haves, my mind.

My mind iiiiisssss, broken, is broken

[Verse 2]

I want what I can’t have, my mind,

My mind not to be, broken.

I want what I can’t have, my mind,

My mind not to be, broken.

[Primal Scream]

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[Chorus]

My mind, a vortex of thoughts, emotions

Mind broken, no repair, damage done.

Conflicting, contorting, messages.

My mind, broken, never be repaired.

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

Your protector, should not be, the abuser

The abuser is, your protector, mind broken

Your protector, could not be, the abuser

The abuser is, your protector, mind broken

[Verse 4]

What I want, what I cannot have,

Perpetual torment, the wants and haves

What I want, I can never have.

Circular anguish, the wants and haves.

[Chorus]

My mind, a vortex of thoughts, emotions

Mind broken, no repair, damage done.

Conflicting, contorting, messages.

My mind, broken, never be repaired.

[Verse 5]

I want what I can’t have, my mind,

My mind not to be, broken.

I want what I can’t have, my mind,

My mind not to be, broken.

[Outro]

I want, I want, my mind to be freed.

what I want, is what I cannot have

A circular argument, of wants and haves

Perpetual torment, of wants and haves

On the contrary, I think this is very good, wild ride but your message came over well.

Went in with ears wide open and enjoyed it.

Thanks for posting.

I think this works really well. Good match between lyrics and musical style. Not my kind of song, but that's irrelevant, it's a strong version of the kind of song it is.

Good stuff.

Hi Bill. On the contrary to your belief, I believe this song has WIDE appeal. In my experience, most people want what they can't have. I like that used the broken mind versus material possessions. And your music certainly matches the pain and anguish of your lyric. As I'm listening, I'm thinking another good title might be simply, "BROKEN". And there are too many broken minds these days as is evident by the wide array of mind-altering drugs on the LEGAL market.

@sidshovel @RainyDayMan @HummerWisdom thanks for the comments... @HummerWisdom , you're correct Broken would be a better title. the use of broken mind vs material possession, is that the song is actually about somebody who suffered so mental and physical abuse. that the mind snaps, but I like that people interpret their own meaning :)
