Desire
JoJo Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One short touch, another sphere
Desire, no way back
We had to comply with
Desire, never know when it comes
But always notice when it′s there
Desire
And it feels so good,
That it can′t be bad
Whatever it is, just enjoy!
Desire, perhaps you disaprove
But your opinion changes
Desire, it'll take you along
There's no escape
Desire, you melt like chocolate
Desire, it′s bittersweet
You can′t control it
And it feels so good,
That it can't be bad
Whatever it is, just enjoy!
It feels so good
It can′t be bad
It feels so good
That it can't be bad

The first verse suggests that desire has brought two people together in a moment of intense passion. The second verse acknowledges that desire can be unpredictable but always noticeable. The chorus suggests that whatever the object of our desire may be, we should enjoy and revel in the pleasure it brings, even if it goes against our better judgment. The final verse highlights the fact that desire can change us, taking us down a path we may not have initially chosen.
The song has a jazz tone to it, with smooth and sultry instrumentals. The lyrics are simple yet effective in conveying the theme of desire. The repetition of "it feels so good, it can't be bad" reinforces the idea that there is pleasure to be found in giving into our desires, even if society may view them as wrong.
