Desert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See the other side of mine - a real wicked one, like your deepest nightmare that came true! Would you follow me through this noghtmare till the end? "
Rain... Falls down on me.
Rest... So close but never meant to be...
Far from alive,
Here, where spirits whisper I can
Hide.
How ironic it is
That unholy would pray,
Seeking answers up there
Where no vampires (are) allowed.
Watching time pass me by,
Every color is gray
Will she understand
If I feed her blood?
Every night I wake up to hunt
Keep her out of my wicked heart
Every nightmare she sees - my reality
Will she come with me?
Moon... Guides me the way
Mist... Is scaring you and makes you pray
I will be near
There... A creature from your horror dreams
When the clock strikes at midnight
I will be your guide
Let me show you the path
Out of dead to alive
Let me take you away
To the cursed other side
Only one bite of lust
I will make you mine
Choose...
The choice is not mine, she has to know!
My heart doesn't beat
But it pulses with pain
If I'll tell the truth
Will you call me insane?
Decide - eternal love,
Is it worth betrayal?
Is it worth the god?
Lose the soul,
Trade for strength -
Draw the line
Between night and day!
The lyrics of Desert's song "Whispers" convey a sense of longing, fear and desperation. The song opens up with the singer wishing for someone to see the real them, without any masks or disguises they have been wearing since birth. They want to reveal the other side of themselves, the darker side, which is wicked and scary. The singer asks if the person would follow them through the nightmare, as they seek to establish their true self. The opening lyrics set the stage for the song's dark and introspective mood.
In the second verse, the singer discusses irony and how unholy people pray for answers in places that are forbidden to them. They watch time pass by, and everything feels dull and grey. The singer wonders if their potential love interest will understand them, despite being a vampire who feeds on blood. They wake up every night to hunt and keep the person they love out of their wicked heart. The reality of the singer’s nightmare seems to be the reality of their love as well.
In the chorus, the singer talks about being the guide, leading the way to the cursed other side, where they become one. In the last verse, the singer discusses the cost of eternal love, sacrificing one's soul and trading it for strength. The lyrics ask if it is worth the betrayal, and if it's worth giving up your connection to a higher being, God. The song's themes explore what someone is willing to do for the sake of love, including giving up their humanity.
