Desperate
Kurt Travis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The perfect symbionts.
But we, we all seem to change.
We don't stay the same .
I wanna freeze the frame.
Yeah, you simply know what you do.
And I'm so 'fraid to lose.
I remember you used to light up the room.
I feel like I'm losing you.
I'm starting to feel desperate.
Thinking that you'd forget.
Falling for me when I said.
Reciting novels that you read.
Starting to feel desperate.
Thinking that you'd forget.
Falling for me when I said.
Reciting novels that you read. (Guitar solo) I'm starting to feel desperate.
Thinking that you'd forget.
Running from me when I said.
Reciting novels that you read.
Starting to feel desperate.
Thinking that you'd forget.
Falling for me when I said.
Reciting novels that you read.
The lyrics to Kurt Travis's song "Desperate" are a heartfelt expression of fear and loss in a relationship. The singer wants to freeze time and keep their partner as they are now, but acknowledges that people inevitably change. They're afraid of losing the person they love, especially since they used to light up the room and now seem to be slipping away. The repetition of the line "starting to feel desperate" underscores the fear and anxiety building in the singer as they worry that their partner will forget them or leave.
The lines about reciting novels that you read are particularly intriguing, as they suggest a shared interest or habit between the singer and their partner. Perhaps they once bonded over literature, but now the act of reciting passages feels like a desperate attempt to hold onto something that's slipping away. The guitar solo that follows reinforces the emotional depth of the song, and the final repetition of the chorus drives home the singer's desperation and fear.
Overall, "Desperate" is a powerful song about the fragility of relationships and the fear of losing someone you love. The lyrics are relatable and poignant, and the guitar work adds a layer of emotional depth to the piece.

Kurt solo is great! But as a fan of DGD's Happiness album, wish Kurt Travis and Will Swan would do another album together. Those vocals were pure gold. Always wanted to here a second Happiness album.
