End Of Desire
Muna Lyrics

Oh God, save me
The singer seeks divine intervention.

I want an impossible thing
The singer longs for something that seems unattainable.

I want to be free of this ache, of this need
The singer desires to be rid of a persistent feeling of longing.

I want not to want anything
The artist wants to be free from desire altogether.

Someone said, "God is here tonight"
A witness claims to have seen a divine presence.

Said they saw her outside getting high
The divine presence was seen indulging in a prohibited activity.

Turn your head to the side
The singer urges the listener to look beyond the obvious.

Hold your gaze against mine
The artist seeks connection and understanding.

And there it is
The discovery of a divine trait or quality.

A mark of the divine
An indication of the divine nature.

I am consumed
The singer is entirely preoccupied with their desire.

All my nights I think only of you
The artist's thoughts are entirely consumed by the object of their desire.

Taking all I have left
The pursuit of desire comes at a great cost.

In exchange for a debt
The singer sacrifices their well-being for their desire.

That is promised
The singer trusts in the fulfillment of their desire.

That will make me new
The artist believes that fulfilling their desire will bring about a positive change.

Deep down I know
The artist has a sense of self-awareness.

I am worshiping a false idol
The object of the singer's desire is a misguided obsession.

Deep down I know
The singer is aware of the futility of their desire.

It's a false hope
The artist's desire is unlikely to be fulfilled.

But I won't let go of this feeling
The artist is unwilling to abandon their pursuit of desire.

Like I've got something to believe in
The artist finds hope in their pursuit of desire.

Like your love can maybe make me whole
The singer believes that fulfilling their desire will bring them happiness and completion.

My love, are you taking me home?
The artist addresses their desired partner.

Are you taking me to the end of desire? (end of desire)
The singer questions whether their pursuit of desire will be fulfilled.

Are you taking me home? (taking me home)
The singer questions whether they will achieve fulfillment and completion.

Are you taking me to the end of desire? (end of desire)
The singer questions whether their pursuit of desire will ever be satisfied.

Are you taking me home? (taking me home)
The artist questions whether they will ever be at peace and content.

My love, are you taking me home?
The artist seeks reassurance from their desired partner.
