Desert time
Eyesburn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Day by day`re melting, `cause I know them well
Learning now every simple word of life
And I`m moving on like a burning sun
I have nowhere to fall
Part by part
Desert time
Hate me people, to love is a crime?!
Stab me in my back, hatred is a new prime
Pick me up and then let me down again
`cause our casual living is the reason of a shame!
The lyrics to Eyesburn's song "Desert time" delve deeply into the struggles of navigating through life's difficulties. The opening line, "Everywhere I go - there's another hell," is a poignant statement about the overwhelming nature of facing challenge after challenge. The following line, "Day by day're melting, 'cause I know them well," suggests a sense of weariness and resignation to one's circumstances. However, the singer is not defeated; rather, they are utilizing their experiences to learn and grow: "Learning now every simple word of life." The image of the "burning sun" signifies a fierce determination to persevere and move forward in the face of adversity.
The chorus is a powerful meditation on the internal experience of struggle: "I have nowhere to fall / Part by part / Desert time / Is within my hart." The idea of "nowhere to fall" suggests a sense of being pushed to one's limits, forced to confront one's own limitations. "Part by part" speaks to the idea of one's sense of self slowly disintegrating under strain, and "desert time" is an evocative image of the parched, unforgiving landscape of the mind during periods of intense struggle. The misspelling of "heart" as "hart" adds another layer of meaning, suggesting that the desert of the psyche is not only a place of hardship, but also a place of emotional reinvention and strength.
The third verse touches on themes of betrayal and distrust. The singer receives cruelty at the hands of others, questioning whether the world has become so cynical that love is seen as a crime. Despite the hurt inflicted upon them, the singer is resilient: "Pick me up and then let me down again," they sing - an acknowledgment that the difficulties of life will come and go. The final line, "'cause our casual living is the reason of a shame!" is a powerful indictment of systems that cause people to turn on one another rather than support one another.
