Lyrics powered by LyricFind. Whataya Want From Me song meanings. Add Your Thoughts 41 Comments. Song Meaning I've watched the actual video on YouTube a few times, and if you notice, it's almost as if there are two Adams in it. The one wearing the black t-shirt, hanging around the house I think he did this song, and the video, as if it is two people singing it to each other.
Pay attention to how the camera cuts between casual Adam and concert Adam, grouped with the lyrics: Casual Adam: "Hey, slow it down" through "Whataya want from me? Asking each other what they want, trying to reassure each other, asking for patience. At times it even looks as if one is yelling at the "other" while the "other" sings - they're speaking, not singing, while the "other" voice continues to sing.
When you think about the fact that Adam is openly gay, to sing a duet portraying a couple communicating back and forth, what are his choices? Another male singer, or another female singer He found a third option I think it's fantastic and brilliant. Gizzy on August 29, Link. There was an error. I was going to make a comment alone, but I decided to use yours to put my several thoughts about this song here.
S2MariAnaS2 on June 30, I also agree that the song is about the struggle of two individuals in a relationship but I also believe that it can also be interpreted differently as a song to the past and present selves of the singer. The struggle to meet expectations and values from both periods of their career the old and the intensity of the new and finding a way to satisfy both as they handle the insecurities of the present. A motivational song for the present by receiving some reassurance from the past.
General Comment I think this song may have been about when he was figuring out his sexuality. No Replies Log in to reply. General Comment i think this is a really well-written song. General Comment The song is written where it could be any gender singing to any gender. The orientation of a singer does not seal a song into a heterosexual or homosexual song. Its what it means to you. My interpretation..
There was a time I would have walked away [didn't want to get serious or just walk away from uncertain situations] but think you could save my life [I have strong feelings for you]. Please don't leave or be hurt if I don't behave appropriately. Tell me what you want and give me a second to figure it out and pull myself together.
But now that he's met the love of his life, he wants to focus on that person. He also talks about how past heartbreaks have hardened his heart to love and that he needs some time to heal himself and needs the person's help to do so.
He also thanks them for loving him, even though he didn't deserve it. Singer34 on April 14, Link. And thank heavens for DVR because I rewound and listened to it two more times. And that was a good song, dance-y, raunchy, catchy, and that was good enough. And I understood the allure of Mr. He's SO pretty.
And then I heard this song, and, okay, it's not the best song every, but it hit me in this way that made me stop and listen I guess what I'm trying to say is that I can relate. One can only assume Pink's version — which she co-wrote with Max Martin — includes the original lyrics: " He messed me up" versus Adam's generic " It messed me up. The official release on Pink's part is curious, mostly because Adam's single is a hit worldwide.
It's one thing if Europe was unfamiliar with the "American Idol" alum and his music, but the dude has made a splash there. In fact, his Glam Nation Tour is playing to sold-out European crowds at this very moment. Also, both Pink and Lambert are backed by the same exact instrumental track.
Her take doesn't offer anything new, other than giving ammo to haters who like to point out that "Idol" stars often get pop star throwaways for their debut albums. Those people need to cool it. Pop tunes make the rounds before they find a home, regardless of the quality of the song. If anything, "Whataya Want From Me" proves that Adam and Pink are both killer vocalists who should team up on a song sooner rather than later.
Imagine the rock duet they could come up with!
