Desesperado
Evan Craft Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

S.O.S I′m a cast away
Tryna make it back home
Hope is far and I'm losing faith
Thirsting deep in my soul

I fell for the lie that they sold me
The mirage that left my spirits broken
Now I need you to show me I′m not on my own

I'm tired of wandering alone
I hear your voice call me home

Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for your love
Nothing else will ever be enough
More than the air that′s in my lungs
Desesperado
Oh, I′m desperate for your grace
I need you and I'm unashamed
Breathe your life into my veins
Desesperado

I′m desperate, I confess I'm a mess
And I′m finally here at the end of myself
Quería ser aventurer pero ya soy extranjero
And now I'm calling out for help

Tenía un pie en la tumba
Felt like I was doomed but my failures, you turned around
Spoke to these dry bones
Mis huesos secos
Guide me to your heart, my promised land

I′m tired of wandering alone
I hear your voice call me home

Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for your love
Nothing else will ever be enough
More than the air that's in my lungs (that I′m breathing)
Desesperado
Oh, I′m desperate for your grace
I need you and I'm unashamed
Breathe your life into my veins
Desesperado

There′s only one way I'll pull through
If it′s the last thing that I do
I will brave the driest desert if it leads me back to you
I'm laying down my pride
I′m giving you my life
Without you I know I am desesperado

Oh, I'm desperate for your love
Nothing else will ever be enough
More than the air that's in my lungs
Desesperado
Oh, I′m desperate for your grace
I need you and I′m unashamed
Breathe your life into my veins
Desesperado

You're the that I breathe in
Desesperado




I know I need desesperado
Desesperado

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Evan Craft's "Desesperado" talk about losing hope and feeling alone, and how the singer is searching for something meaningful in his life to bring him back on track. He feels like he's been sold a lie, and now he wants someone to show him that he's not alone in this dark place. He admits to being lost, searching for a home and his way back to you. The song title, "Desesperado," is a Spanish term that translates to "desperate" or "in despair," which serves the song's overall theme perfectly.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Desesperado," which can be understood as a plea, a call for help or a confession of the singer's desperation. He sings that he is desperate for love and grace and that nothing else will be enough, and that he is unashamed of his need for these things. He is asking for a breath of life to be breathed into his veins before he is too far gone. The last verse sees the singer determined to make a change; he is giving up his pride and life, laying everything down to reach his destination – to find the meaning and the people who can fill the void in his life.


The song is an emotional ballad showcasing Evan Craft's vocal abilities, and the lyrics are poignant and relatable for anyone who has ever gone through moments of doubt and despair. It is an uplifting track that encourages listeners to confront their fears and ask for help when they need it.

LETRA:

Verso 1:
S.O.S soy un náufrago
A casa sueño volver
Mucha sed en mi alma y yo
Estoy perdiendo mi fe

Caí por promesas vacías
y espejismos de pura mentira
Casi muero en esta sequía, solo

Pre-Coro:
Dame una gota de agua viva
Devuélveme a la vida

Chorus:
Desesperado, llévame a tu corazón
Necesito de Tu amor
Más que el aire, más que el sol

Desesperado,
Por tu gracia y tu perdón
Sin Ti yo sé que nada soy
Eres mi destino Dios

RAP - VERSO 2:
I’m desperate, I confess, I’m a mess and I’m finally here at the end of myself
Quería ser aventurero pero ya soy extranjero and now I’m calling out for help

Tenía un pie en la tumba, felt like I was doomed but my failures you turn around
Spoke to these dry bones, mis huesos secos, guide me to you heart my promise land

Puente:
Sé que sin ti yo moriré
Daría todo por volver
Cruzaría el desierto si me lleva a ti otra vez

Mi orgullo rindo hoy
Mi vida toda te la doy
Sin ti yo sé que estoy
