Wanted You to Know Lyrics

Playin' me playing me
Sold them my soul tonight
Why would I compromise every time just for attention
You cannot fuck with me
Part of me probably try to be gasoline
Drunkenly playing with matches

You kinda lucky that I find the patience
You got a lucky owning my mind
I get no love unless you feel the magic
You told me what to do a thousand times

How am I supposed to breathe
This shit is gettin' old, old
Open up your eyes and see
You're losing all control

I can do it on my own
I wanted you to know, I wanted you to know
You keep fucking up my flow
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to k-

Tard la nuit, j'parle seul
Canalise, j'roule des feuilles
Dans le vide, j'crie, j'gueule
La colère monte
Les larmes coulent à l'intérieur de ma poitrine
Les gens me parlent sans rien me dire
Et quand je l'ouvre, que j'me livre
On dit qu'j'suis taré, que j'suis barré
Même scénario, à fortiori, mon temps de parole s'affine

You kinda lucky I disguise the sadness
You got a lucky owning my time
I get no love unless I please the masses
You told me just about a thousand lies

Fauché, mon cœur est bourré
Infecté, nécrosé
J'crois plus en la chance, non, métal noir chromé
Bang, bang, bang, bang, je ne tente que dans la violence
J'implore le ciel mais mon âme peut-elle être sauvée?

I can do it on my own
I wanted you to know, I wanted you to know
You keep fucking up my flow
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to k-

Watch me take control
Power sway rule reign
Gotta make a change
Watch me takin over this
Imma fight for this
Makin' dollars outta pain

Watch me take it slow
Watch me through the pain
Watch me takin over this
Imma fight for this
Makin' dollars outta pain

How could you make me do this?
I'm a fool for your love
How could you make me do this?

What is the Meaning of Wanted You to Know?

In this poignant collaborative piece, Selah Sue and Damso delve into the complexities of personal struggle and emotional turmoil. The lyrics express themes of compromised self-worth and the disillusionment of seeking validation—"Sold them my soul tonight"—highlighting the sacrifices made for fleeting attention. The interplay between Selah Sue’s conflict-laden introspections and Damso’s depictions of inner turmoil, such as "La colère monte" (anger rising), serves to underscore the depth of their emotional catharsis. The narrative structure critiques societal pressures and the difficulty of maintaining autonomy, culminating in a defiant assertion of reclaiming control: "Watch me takin over this." The repeated refrain, "I wanted you to know," encapsulates a desperate need for acknowledgment amid progressive self-empowerment. #EmotionalTurmoil #SelfEmpowerment
