Desire
Acoustic Junction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
entranced to the point of longing
and rapture by the newly fallen crystals
of gentle white Colorado snow
a million glistening balls of silent light
screaming with solitude
creating organic energy inside
your body
filling the soul
enlightening the mind
THE MYSTICAL SOFTNESS
HELD DEEP WITHIN THE BEAUTY
IS OF NATURAL BLISS
DELICATE PEACE
AND THE EARTH BENEATH US
HOLDS A SECRET WITHIN ITS FORGOTTEN ROOTS
A SECRET OF LOVE FELT BY ANYONE
WHO DESIRES
The song "Desire" by Acoustic Junction begins with a beautiful portrayal of two human beings who are deeply entranced and longing for one another. The setting is Colorado, and the freshly fallen snow is described as "gentle white" and "crystals." These two individuals are captivated by the beauty of the snow, which is personified as "a million glistening balls of silent light screaming with solitude."
The second verse goes even deeper into the mystical power of nature, describing the snow as "dancing prisms" that create "organic energy" within the body and "enlighten the mind." The song then shifts to a broader perspective, suggesting that the natural world is full of secrets and hidden depths, particularly within the "forgotten roots" of the earth. Finally, the chorus celebrates the "mystical softness" and "delicate peace" of nature, with its "secret of love felt by anyone who desires."
Overall, "Desire" is a song that celebrates the power and beauty of nature, particularly in the context of human relationships. The snow is a symbol for the deep and mysterious connections that can exist between people, and also for the larger forces that bind us to the natural world.

I was just hiking in a forest with a friend when she said that somebody started to build a house nearby. We went to explore. The first thing I noticed was a tree growing in the middle of where the floor should have been. It triggered a memory of a song I knew when I was a kid, that I probably learned when I was at a long-ago campfire with somebody playing the guitar. It took me a while, but gradually the words to Uncle Jed's shed came to me. I sang it for my friend, and we both totally enjoyed the moment. So, thank you, for this delightful, quirky song
