Desire
B.B.Q. Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's run away from my home
I need to think about other problems
That is staying here alone
There are voices saying things to me
What should I do
I sold my soul to this crazy desire
Trying to find something new
They are talking to me
Saying I need to DIE ALONE
One more time I'm getting confused
Why does this happen to me?
I feel my bones like broken glasses
How can I live?
These shadows tell me about false emotions
That I cannot forget
I am screaming but no one can hear me
This day will be my last
I see some shadows
They are talking to me
Saying I need to DIE ALONE
The lyrics to B.B.Q. Band's song "Desire" tell a story of a person who has become consumed by an intense desire that has driven them away from their home and into isolation. The voice in the song describes feeling confused and broken, haunted by voices telling them to die alone. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and despair, with the singer feeling helpless and unable to escape the haunting voices that are driving them to the brink of madness.
The metaphor of shadows adds to the eerie tone of the lyrics, suggesting that the voices are not necessarily external but rather internal whispers that torment the singer. The use of broken glass as a metaphor for the singer's feeling of being shattered also adds to the tone of despair and hopelessness.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a poignant representation of the destructive power of desire when it becomes all-consuming, leading us to abandon everything we know and becoming lost in darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
I cannot from this crazy desire
I am unable to rid myself of this intense longing
That's run away from my home
Which has escaped my rational control
I need to think about other problems
I must divert my attention to other concerns
That is staying here alone
As I am struggling with solitude
There are voices saying things to me
I am experiencing intrusive thoughts
What should I do
Wondering what actions to take
I sold my soul to this crazy desire
I have sacrificed my morals and principles to satisfy my craving
Trying to find something new
In a pursuit of novelty
I see some shadows
I have hallucinations
They are talking to me
I perceive them as communicating with me
Saying I need to DIE ALONE
Encouraging me to commit suicide and face death alone
One more time I'm getting confused
I am becoming disoriented once again
Why does this happen to me?
I am perplexed as to the cause of my affliction
I feel my bones like broken glasses
I experience physical pain akin to shattered glass
How can I live?
Asking a rhetorical question in despair
These shadows tell me about false emotions
The hallucinations convey messages about inauthentic feelings
That I cannot forget
Which I am unable to erase from my mind
I am screaming but no one can hear me
I am vocalizing my agony but no one is listening or coming to my aid
This day will be my last
I am convinced this is the day of my demise
I see some shadows
The hallucinations persist
They are talking to me
The voices in my head continue to communicate
Saying I need to DIE ALONE
The message advocating for suicide and isolation repeats itself
