Want It All Lyrics by Jay Som
You can see it in the dark
Tearing everything apart
A fear of knowing what you are
You wanna leave, you want it all
You wanna leave, you want it all
Now you’re out here in the cold
Somebody’s asking where you’re from
A fear of knowing what could come
You wanna leave, you want it all
You wanna leave, you want it all
You wanna—
Do you really wanna go?
Will you hate what you will find?
You might just run into the sun
You wanna leave, you want it all
You wanna leave, you want it all
You wanna—
You think you want it all
You think you want it all
I think you wanna say
The thing you wanna say
You think you want it all
You think you want it all
I think you wanna say
The thing you wanna say
You think you want it all
You think you want it all
I think you wanna say
The thing you wanna say
You think you want it all
You think you want it all
I think you wanna say
The thing you wanna say
The Meaning of “Want It All” by Jay Som
Jay Som’s “Want It All” closes out the 2025 album Belong, and it feels like a quiet exhale after a long, complicated thought. There’s a stillness here that’s heavy with something unspoken, a final track that doesn’t offer easy answers but just sits with you in the dim light.
You wanna leave, you want it all
That repetition… it’s the heart of it, isn’t it? The push and pull between running away and desperately needing everything life has to offer. It’s that specific, aching feeling of being trapped by your own ambition, by the fear of what you might become if you actually got what you asked for.
In the end, the song isn’t about having it all—it’s about the terrifying silence that comes with wanting. It’s about the space between a thought and the courage to speak it aloud, and how sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just sit there, in the dark, and admit that you have no idea what comes next.
