Desire Desire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The maze in my head
And I can't erase
The things that I said
And I can't try to chase you
'Cause this life it can break you
Tell me what you're dreaming
Tell me what you're dreaming of
When you're lying next to me
I can barely breathe
And as far as I can see
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
When you're lying next to me
I can barely breathe
And as far as I can see
I can't escape
All the red in my head
And I can't erase
The things that I said
And I can't try to chase you
'Cause this life it can break you
Tell me why you're crying
Tell me why you're crying
Tell me why you're crying now
When you're lying next to me
I can barely breathe
And as far as I can see
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
When you're lying next to me
I can barely breathe
And as far as I can see
The lyrics of Desire's song "Escape" are about the inability to escape one's own thoughts and the consequences of one's actions. The first verses describe the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind, unable to forget or change the past. The vocalist acknowledges that pursuing someone who may not reciprocate their feelings could lead to being heartbroken or falling into despair.
The chorus invites the partner to share their dreams and explains the intense emotions felt in their presence. The second verse repeats the themes of being unable to forget one's mistakes, but adds a reference to seeing red, potentially meaning anger or sadness, in their thoughts. The chorus changes to asking why the partner is crying, adding a layer of concern and empathy.
Overall, the lyrics are introspective and melancholic, dealing with themes of regret, anxiety, and the longing for connection.

I can't escape
I am trapped in my thoughts and I can't find a way out
The maze in my head
My mind is a complicated labyrinth that I can't navigate
And I can't erase
I regret what I've said and wish I could undo it
The things that I said
My words have caused pain and consequences that will always stay with me
And I can't try to chase you
I know that pursuing you will only lead to more heartbreak and disappointment
'Cause this life it can break you
Life is unforgiving and unpredictable, and it's easy to get hurt and lose yourself in the process
Tell me what you're dreaming
I want to know your deepest desires and secrets
When you're lying next to me
Being close to you affects me deeply
I can barely breathe
Your presence leaves me feeling overwhelmed and breathless
And as far as I can see
From my perspective, my feelings for you are unwavering and strong
All the red in my head
My mind is consumed by intense emotions, represented by the color red
Tell me why you're crying
I want to understand your pain and help alleviate it
Tell me why you're crying now
I am here for you in this moment of need

She's got the gun to my head
Well pull the trigger already, baby
Bang Bang
She turned my heart bloodshot red
But you can't leave me for dead
I'm already dying...
And i'm waiting!
You cannot kill my
Desire! Desire!
Set my love on fire
Desire! Desire!
(let it burn)
Desire! Desire!
Set my love on fire and lei it burn
(let it burn!)
Her face is heaven but she gives me hell
And damn your body is killing, baby
Bang Bang
And i can't control myself
You got me down on my knees!
And i'm praying
And i'm waiting...
You cannot kill my
Desire! Desire!
Set my love on fire
(and let it burn!)
Desire! Desire!
Set my love on fire and let it burn
Let it burn!
I'm praying...
I'm waiting!
You cannot kill my

(Set my love on fire...)
Desire! Desire!

Set my love on fire...
Let it burn!
