The Rat Within The Grain Lyrics

Lyric discussion by what do i get 

Cover art for The Rat Within The Grain lyrics by Damien Rice

The first time i heard this song, i knew i must have it...This song is definetely about someone's self struggle about their feelings about the other person. It's clear when he sings "I wouldn't want you to want To be wanted by me" and "I only really wanted to be wanted by you" that he feels something for that person but does not want that person to feel anything, but of course he admits to really want the person to have feelings for him.

I can totally relate to this song right now. I have feelings for someone and he does too, but I don't want him to feel anything. I'm glad he does, but I don't want him "to want to be wanted by me"
