All I want is a song written and created by Kodaline. And just by hearing the song with no prior knowledge the song sort of has this heavy sad essence to it. Not only does the piano and guitar add to this heavy mix of emotions but so do the lyrics. The lyrics carry such heavy meaning that I don't think a lot of people capture.
For example, the lyrics of the song speak about a person who is lost, searching for answers, and is desperate to find someone who understands them. The very first line of the song is
" All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door"
These lyrics set the tone for the rest of the song. It expresses the idea that they are in deep need for human connection and the sense of loneliness that comes with feeling disconnected from others. And with Elena, she just recently lost her mom. So for to feel these heavy sad emotions is normal. And to not have people in life along her way is obviously going to make her feel alone.
Another lyric that resonates is
"But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?"
These lines express the pain that someone feels after they've been abandoned by someone they loved.
Again, Elena just lost her mother, and even though they didn't have the ideal relationship, it was still her mom who she loved. So, she feels this sense of abandonment.
But beside all these things, the overall message for this song is hope. It's a reminder that even in the darkest moments of our lives, we are not alone. Everyone experiences pain, loss, and heartbreak. But these experiences also give us the opportunity to grow, to learn, and to find some meaning in our lives. Which I think Elena can relate to. And I think this song really says a lot about her character and how she feels.
