Desperado
Eagles - Lyrics

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Why are you still holding on to whatever is keeping you out on the fences? Why won't you take a moment to reflect on your life decisions?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now
You've been keeping yourself distant from everyone else, seemingly on a mission of your own, for an extended period of time.

Oh, you're a hard one
You are emotionally closed off and unapproachable, making it difficult for others to reach out to you.

But I know that you got your reasons
There are valid explanations as to why you have decided to take the path you are on right now.

These things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow
Your choices, although they bring you some form of pleasure or satisfaction, can also cause harm or negative consequences for you in the long run.

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able
Avoid taking unnecessary risks in your pursuits as it can lead to getting hurt and losing more than what you bargained for. Be careful not to draw the wrong cards in life.

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
If you want to have a successful and fulfilling life, it is best to follow your heart and seek out genuine connections with others.

Now, it seems to me some fine things, have been laid upon your table
Opportunities or prospects that seem desirable have been presented to you at some point in the past.

But you only want the ones that you can't get
You are limiting yourself by only going after what you think is out of your reach or what you cannot have, rather than striving for what is possible and attainable.

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
You are getting older and time is running out. Life is too short to waste it on things that may not matter in the end.

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Your struggles and desires are pushing you to find a place of comfort, where you can finally feel at home and at peace.

And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
The idea of freedom is subjective and can mean different things for different people. It's not always easy to achieve or experience true freedom in life.

Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Your isolation or detachment from others is the real prison you are living in. Walking through the world without any meaningful connections can be crippling.

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
Are you not feeling the effects of being alone or distant from others, especially when you need them the most?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
The elements of life outside are not cooperating, possibly due to your own perceptions and attitude towards the world.

It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Your current situation makes it difficult to differentiate between the good and bad times, as everything seems to blend and merge into one.

You're losin' all your highs and lows
You're losing your sense of emotions, possibly numbing yourself to protect yourself from the possible pains and struggles in life.

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
It's strange how emotions can come and go so easily that you start to wonder if they were ever real or genuine to begin with.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Why don't you take a closer look at your situation and examine how you can improve and be better off in the long run?

Come down from your fences, open the gate
Step away from the walls that are keeping you fenced in and blocking you from potentially experiencing more fulfilling things in life.

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
Even when times are tough and everything seems bleak, there is always hope and possibility for better things to come.

You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
It's time to open yourself up to love and allow others to see the true, vulnerable side of you.

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late to let someone in and make meaningful connections that can truly change your life for the better.
