Desire
AsyluM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires
Standing out in the middle of traffic
Photographing the crash
Waitin' in line with little old ladies
With a bug up my ass
I'm never going too far
Calling you from inside the wire
I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires
I got a hostage situation
Someone's crackin' the whip
Some are puttin' up a fierce resistance
Some are getting their kicks
Out of the blue and into the fire
I've got no use for being tired
Calling you from inside the wire
I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires
A bus named desire
Now I'm all alone here waiting like I'm buried alive
Gotta crawl my way out maybe if I plan to survive
Born in a zoo, raised in a cage
What's it to you if I break through anyway?
Calling you from inside the wire
I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires
Calling you from inside the wire
I'm payin' my dues underneath your tires
A bus named desire
A bus named desire
A bus named desire
A bus named desire
A bus named desire
The lyrics of "Desire" by AsyluM depict a person who is desperately trying to make a connection with someone or something. The first verse speaks of being trapped and struggling, analogous to being "inside the wire," and the idea of "paying dues" by being run over implies a sense of being punished for existing. The second verse describes a chaotic scene, featuring imagery of photographing a car crash, a hostage situation, and little old ladies. These lines paint a vivid picture of the singer's disjointed, almost dissociative perspective. The chorus repeats the theme of paying dues and using transportation metaphors to describe the singer's desire to be close to the person they are calling out to. The final verse reveals that the singer feels alone and trapped, using the metaphor of being buried alive. The idea of being "born in a zoo, raised in a cage" suggests that the singer has never experienced true freedom, leading to a defiant attitude of breaking out no matter what.
Overall, "Desire" seems to be a song about the longing for something beyond the singer's current circumstances. The various metaphors and vivid descriptions allow the listener to feel the intensity of the singer's emotions and sense of entrapment.
