Song Meaning of “I Can’t Stop Wanting You” by The Flashcubes
This song speaks to the power of unrequited love and desire.
The narrator sings of being deeply in love and wanting their beloved all the time, yet knowing that they cannot have them no matter what they do.
The chorus expresses the pain of longing and wanting someone that cannot or will not reciprocate those feelings.
The narrator sings about how they feel helpless when it comes to their love, but in a way they know that they are more happy fantasizing about being with their beloved, no matter how hopeless the situation is.
The chorus thus reflects the bittersweet feeling one has when they know they can never be with the person they wanted so desperately.
At the end of the song, the narrator once again confesses to themselves that they can never stop wanting their love, no matter what happens.
