What I Want Lyrics Translation – S2It
The poet writes about a ‘sparkling story,’ where a hidden dream emerges from a pocket. A key line, ‘It shines brighter the darker it gets,’ reflects the song’s central theme of finding strength in struggle. The lyrics use stars, gravity, and light to describe breaking free and reaching for the impossible.
