Desire
Jakarta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's still all alone in the darkness
And the ways back home are endless
Cause his life is out of fire
That's his one desire

That's his one desire

One desire

He's still all alone in the darkness
And the ways back home are endless
Cause his life is out of fire
That's his one desire

Comes a fairy close to his face
And gives him three
Wishes for his helpless night
Situation gone at least back home
All the fairy wants is war

One desire

He's still all alone in the darkness
And the ways back home are endless
Cause his life is out of fire
That's his one desire

One desire

That's his one desire

He's still all alone in the darkness
And the ways back home are endless




Cause his life is out of fire
That's his one desire

Overall Meaning

The song "One Desire" by Jakarta talks about an individual who is lost in the darkness and is seeking a way back home. His life is filled with difficulties and challenges, and his only desire is to escape his current situation. The lyrics depict a fairy who appears to the singer and offers him three wishes, but with a catch - the fairy wants war. The singer's one desire is to leave his difficult life behind and return home, but he must weigh the consequences of making a deal with the fairy.


While on the surface, the song appears to be about a mythical tale of a fairy and a person seeking refuge, the underlying message talks about the human desire to find a way out of a challenging situation. The singer's inner turmoil represents the struggles people face in their everyday lives, and the choices they make to escape from those struggles. The "endless" ways back home show how difficult it can sometimes be to find a way out of our inner darkness, but the singer's one desire symbolizes the hope that we all hold onto that someday, we will find a way out.


Overall, the song is a powerful reminder that while each of us may have our own struggles, we all share the same desire to overcome them and find a way back home.

That's his one desire
One desire

He's still alone in the darkness
And the ways back home are endless
'Cause his life is out of fire
That's his one desire

And gives him three / wishes for his helpless night
Situation gone at least back home
All the fairy wants is war

One desire

He's still alone in the darkness
And the ways back home are endless
'Cause his life is out of fire
That's his one desire
