Desire
Mr. M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna fight I'll take you on
I had a feeling it's a pleasant place but
The shine is sharp and I'm engulfed in pain
Dreams of falling down
Deep into the ground
Now he aimed higher, he's a fighter
But only left himself ignited
He dreamt of cover, dreamt of clouds and rain
I'm feeling strange, I'm playing games
So now way down we go
I'm seeing things I shouldn't see
So now way down we go
Beyond the lies, above the skies
So now way down we go
It never ends I'm almost there
And now way down we go
Eight, desires blind the eye
Seven, desires shut the brain
Six, don't eat the apple pie
Five, don't cross forbidden gates
Four, I'm shut from eye to eye
Three, my skin wants pouring rain
Two, don't pet a hungry lion
One, desires shut the brain
