Desert
M. R. Shajarian Lyrics

The lyrics of the song “Desert” by M. R. Shajarian describe the feeling of isolation and detachment from society. The song starts with a reference to Robinson Crusoe, who is known for being stranded on a deserted island and having only a companion called Friday. The persona in the song sees themselves as Robinson Crusoe, drifting aimlessly until they reach the desolate island where they feel at peace. The persona finds a sense of comfort in being isolated, as it allows them to escape from the chaos and judgment of the outside world.

Throughout the song, the persona describes their sense of despair and satisfaction in being alone, and how they do not want others to discover their secret place of solitude. The persona's desire for privacy and isolation displays the fear of being misunderstood by the outside world. The persona takes pride in being both the lonely prince and Robinson Crusoe, with a crown of despair, treading on their own island.

However, in the end, the persona realizes that they are the deserted island themselves, always isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world. The song ends with Robinson Crusoe wishing to leave the island, which represents the persona's desire to reconnect with the world.
