From the recording Abandoned singles 25/26
“I Wanted That” is a cold, melancholic darkwave track built on restraint and repetition. Moving slowly through minimal rhythms, distant guitars, and drifting synth textures, the song captures a quiet form of longing - not dramatic or explosive, but heavy and persistent.
The lyrics reflect on desire that arrives too late, on moments that almost happened but never fully took shape. Rather than searching for resolution, the track stays suspended in emotional distance, allowing space and silence to carry as much meaning as melody.
Designed for late-night listening, “I Wanted That” unfolds gradually, revealing its weight through atmosphere and subtle tension. It is a song about absence, memory, and the quiet realization that some feelings remain unfinished long after the moment has passed.
Lyrics
You stood under fading light,
Left too soon, no wrong or right.
Cold air cuts across the street,
Your shadow keeps in time with me.
Rain came down, you turned away,
Nothing more you had to say.
I reached out, felt the lack,
Empty space, no turning back.
I wanted that
The way you stayed.
I wanted that
The plans we made.
No loud goodbye,
No second track,
Just moving on
I wanted that.
Neon lights and passing cars,
Every step feels twice as far.
Your voice fades into the sound,
Like something lost, not meant to be found.
I wanted that
A simple sign.
I wanted that
A borrowed time.
No perfect end,
No coming back,
Just rhythm left
I wanted that.
Morning comes, the beat stays fast,
Holding on to what has passed.
Feet keep moving through the dark,
A fading want…
I wanted that.
