Desperada
Megosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find me way down the road
Vehicle's in over drive
I green light cause I've been losing sleep
These wheels have spun for weeks
You keep me in the trunk
Then you run me down
The minute you want love
You kiss my neck on the spot
My engine's revving so hot
You keep me coming
So don't mind if you're ready or not
You got this rock on the roll
My wheels are ready to go
Burn up the rubber lover
I'll turn up the radio
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
It's like we're in reverse
Cause I keep coming back
Cause I'm the fool
I guess that likes to hurt
Next to me's the bottle
And it's not fair to me
You make it worse
And the grip you hold
Strings on my fingers and toes
You got me on marionettes
And you're pulling out
Every limb I got on
You kiss my neck on the spot
My engine's revving so hot
You keep me coming
So don't mind if you're ready or not
You got this rock on the roll
My wheels are ready to go
Burn up the rubber lover
I'll turn up the radio
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
And I've come so far
Now I find you here
Blocking the road
The lyrics of Megosh's song "Desperada" seem to describe a situation where the singer has left a toxic relationship and is trying to move on, but the other person keeps trying to lure them back. The first verse talks about the singer leaving and driving away, but also suggests that the other person is somehow holding them back ("You keep me in the trunk/Then you run me down/The minute you want love"). The next verse describes the attraction between the two people, but also implies that it's unhealthy ("Next to me's the bottle/And it's not fair to me/You make it worse"). The chorus repeats the idea that the singer has come a long way, but the road is blocked by the other person.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of conflict and frustration. The singer wants to move on and be free, but keeps getting dragged back into the same cycle of toxicity and abuse. The imagery of driving and vehicles (e.g. "Vehicle's in over drive" and "My wheels are ready to go") reinforces the idea of movement and progress, but also implies a lack of control - as though the singer is being pulled along by forces they can't fully understand or resist.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't think I'm coming back
I am not planning to return
Find me way down the road
You'll have to search for me far away
Vehicle's in over drive
I am moving at a really fast speed
I green light cause I've been losing sleep
I am giving myself permission to pursue what I want because I can't rest without it
These wheels have spun for weeks
I have been contemplating for a long time
You keep me in the trunk
You try to hide me away
Then you run me down
You criticize or hurt me
The minute you want love
You only show me affection when it benefits you
You kiss my neck on the spot
You use physical displays of affection to manipulate me
My engine's revving so hot
I am feeling overwhelmed with passion
You keep me coming
You keep me hooked or interested
So don't mind if you're ready or not
I don't care if you are ready for my intensity or not
You got this rock on the roll
I am enjoying this journey with you
My wheels are ready to go
I am eager to move forward with you
Burn up the rubber lover
Let's move fast and take risks
I'll turn up the radio
I'll ignore everything else and enjoy the moment
And I've come so far
I have made progress
Now I find you here
But you have shown up and are causing a blockage
Blocking the road
You are preventing me from moving forward
It's like we're in reverse
Our relationship is not progressing but instead moving backwards
Cause I keep coming back
I have trouble letting go despite the hurt you cause me
Cause I'm the fool
I am foolish enough to believe things will change
I guess that likes to hurt
I subject myself to emotional pain
Next to me's the bottle
I am turning to alcohol to cope
And it's not fair to me
It's not right that I have to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms
You make it worse
Your actions exacerbate my pain
And the grip you hold
You have a tight hold on me
Strings on my fingers and toes
You have control over all aspects of my life
You got me on marionettes
You are manipulating me like a puppet on strings
And you're pulling out
You are causing me pain and making everything worse
