Desire
Mulu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When they fall into my hands.
I understand what you demand, I see what you want to give,
And the love that you have.
Desire, brings a passion new,
And let your taste for life become sweet again.
Desire, brings a passion new,
And it turns sweet sweet again.
Don't suffocate yourself, in the thoughts of your past.
Just give me you love, and give me your trust,
And I'll fall asleep holding you.
Desire, brings a passion new,
And let your taste for life become sweet again.
Desire, brings a passion new,
And it turns sweet sweet again.
Give me your love and give me your trust.
Give me your love and give me your trust.
Give me your love and give me your trust.
The lyrics of Mulu's song Desire seem to be addressing someone who is experiencing emotional pain, likely from a past relationship or some other traumas. The singer assures the person that they are there to comfort them and to catch their tears when they fall. The singer claims to understand the person's needs and to recognize the love they have to offer. The song then launches into the chorus, with a message of hope that desire can bring a new passion that can turn life "sweet" again. In the second verse, the singer encourages the person to move forward and not be weighed down by past thoughts, but instead to focus on carving out a life that brings new dreams. Finally, the singer repeats the chorus, emphasizing the importance of trust in building a new relationship.
Overall, the song seems to be about reassuring someone who is experiencing pain and encouraging them to have hope for a better future. The one who is singing the song seems to be offering himself or herself as a source of comfort and understanding, someone who can help the person move forward and deal with the past in a healthy way. The message of the song is one of encouragement, hope, and the power of desire to bring new passion into life and turn it sweet again.

Great song and great album. Retro styled trip-hop. I have no idea why Mulu haven't got huge success. Maybe they just been ahead of time.
