AUTHOR NOTE:
This song is more than about a relationship... it's about the ultimate relationship. That of God and Satan. About where he was cast from heaven... but still... God is everything He could want... because God is everything ANYONE could want... yet, he still doesn't get it.
Satan never will get it. And will take the blame for souls and that of the angels that followed him (anger of angels that won't return).
I connected some verses with the song and wrote some narrative. I don't own the Bible, or Everything You Want.
But I do hope people realize that it's not about a girl not wanting a boy or whatever... that it's much deeper than that.
Satan doesn't get it. But we can... we can chose to follow Satan or embrace God's love. Satan knows everything God says is right and perfect. He is perfect. But he'll never accept it.

ISAIAH 14:12-15
"HOW
YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,
O DAY STAR, SON OF DAWN!
HOW YOU
ARE CUT DOWN TO THE GROUND,
YOU WHO LAID THE NATIONS LOW!
YOU
SAID IN YOUR HEART,
'I WILL ASCEND TO HEAVEN;
ABOVE THE STARS
OF GOD
I WILL SET MY THRONE ON HIGH;
I WILL SIT ON THE MOUNT OF
ASSEMBLY
IN THE FAR REACHES OF THE NORTH;
I WILL ASCEND ABOVE
THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS;
I WILL MAKE MYSELF LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'
BUT YOU ARE BROUGHT DOWN TO SHEOL,
TO THE FAR REACHES
OF THE PIT.
Somewhere there's speaking
It's
already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your
mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed
it
Now you're here and you don't know why
In
the morning you hear... all the angels in heaven... all their
discussions... meetings that you join.
It's been so long
since you fell...
You own the whole world. Was it worth it?
Cast down, this is your home now. You are here.
Do you even consider how far you have fallen? Do you even wonder if you've made a mistake? You'll never understand it. You may have wisdom, you may think you know God... but you still don't get it.
For without love... you are nothing. Without Him... you are nothing.
There is a simple irony to arrogance. No matter how much you assure yourself, it can never be true. For He is truth... and you've rejected Him.
---------------------------------------
MAT 12:43 "WHEN AN EVIL SPIRIT COMES OUT OF A MAN, IT GOES THROUGH ARID PLACES SEEKING REST AND DOES NOT FIND IT.
But under
skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you
used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait
for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
Do they blame you? The scores that followed you? The pain of this present earthly life? But you like pain, don't you?
Howling. Your territory. It's all yours.
The angels follow you, because they have no other choice.
They can't go back. You've learnt the hard way... about God... about His sacrifice for His people.
Those echoes don't haunt you as much as they should. Blood is on your hands... but it's a pity you enjoy it so much.

CORINTHIANS 4:4
IN THEIR CASE THE GOD OF THIS WORLD HAS BLINDED
THE MINDS OF THE UNBELIEVERS, TO KEEP THEM FROM SEEING THE LIGHT OF
THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE OF GOD.
JAMES
4:7
SUBMIT YOURSELVES THEREFORE TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE
WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
You're waiting for someone
To
put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you
away
There's always another wound to discover
There's
always something more you wish he'd say
You never know what you're lacking. Perhaps it's arrogance. Perhaps you scoff at those that need Him. The everlasting arms. The promises... The salvation.
You think that anyone that doesn't care only about themselves is missing something.
An innate need. A desire.
You can't be whole without Him. He can put you together. But you'll never allow Him.
You like it when Christians reject you. You like it not being so easy all the time, don't you? You never could stand the weak. There are so many weaklings in the world.
If they push you away, you push harder.
You admire us. While looking at the gaping wounds in others. You want the challenge of seeing a strong person fall.
Although you know every word of His, you are still not satisfied. Truth can never satisfy a liar.
-------------------------------
REV 19:19-20 AND I SAW THE BEAST, AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, AND THEIR ARMIES, GATHERED TOGETHER TO MAKE WAR AGAINST HIM THAT SAT ON THE HORSE, AND AGAINST HIS ARMY.
AND THE BEAST WAS TAKEN, AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET THAT WROUGHT MIRACLES BEFORE HIM, WITH WHICH HE DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AND THEM THAT WORSHIPPED HIS IMAGE. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.
But you'll just sit tight
And
watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And
you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's
only what you're waiting for
Although you know the scripture better than anyone, you should be fearing the future... instead of waiting for it.
We both know you'll lose. Yet you're waiting to watch it happen. Seeing the multitudes at your beckoned call is what you want... and you won't be dissappointed.
You have all the time in the world. To consider your seperation from the light.
If only you didn't like darkness so much.
Your howls fill the darkness. It's void. But comforting. Were you made this way? Or is it hate that made you?

JOB
1:7
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO SATAN, WHENCE COMEST THOU? THEN
SATAN ANSWERED THE LORD, AND SAID, FROM GOING TO AND FRO IN THE
EARTH, AND FROM WALKING UP AND DOWN IN IT.
1 PETER 5:8-9
YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION,
SEEKING SOMEONE TO DEVOUR. RESIST HIM, FIRM IN YOUR FAITH, KNOWING
THAT THE SAME KINDS OF SUFFERING ARE BEING EXPERIENCED BY YOUR
BROTHERHOOD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
Out of the island
Into
the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You
never did notice
But you still hide away
The
anger of angels who won't return
You've been everywhere.
A hundred times. A billion. You've lost count. The
highways. The islands. And back again. Is there any
street you've missed?
And carcass you haven't tortured?
Or your angels, who have nothing else to do but follow in your orders and hate?
You hide from truth. You hide from revealing yourself for now.
You haven't noticed the way that those who share your fate feel. Maybe some of them get it. Get that there is no love for them anymore.
But you never stopped to consider anyone else.
That's what makes you Lucifer. That's what makes you responsible for the state of the world. But you assure everyone that it is their own faults for listening too you.
Perhaps that's why they hate you so much. Their anger will be fulfilled. And you will have no escape.
---------------------------------
I am
everything you want
I am everything you need
I am
everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I
say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But
I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know
why
All He gave you was love. All he COULD give you was love... because God is love.
And even when your cast for an eternity of His wrath... you still will never understand love.
It's the saddest story ever written.
And it makes me thankful that I'm not you. Who could envy a shell of a being?
REVELATION 12:9-10
AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS THROWN
DOWN, THAT ANCIENT SERPENT, WHO IS CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN, THE
DECEIVER OF THE WHOLE WORLD—HE WAS THROWN DOWN TO THE EARTH, AND
HIS ANGELS WERE THROWN DOWN WITH HIM. AND I HEARD A LOUD VOICE IN
HEAVEN, SAYING, "NOW THE SALVATION AND THE POWER AND THE KINGDOM OF
OUR GOD AND THE AUTHORITY OF HIS CHRIST HAVE COME, FOR THE ACCUSER OF
OUR BROTHERS HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN, WHO ACCUSES THEM DAY AND NIGHT
BEFORE OUR GOD.
You may be waiting... but I am too.
Until this prophecy is fulfilled.
He is everything you want.
You want to be Him.
He would love you too.
But you're blinded by yourself.
Nobody else could find perfection not
enough.
Who could understand it. Who could know...
why...
