Destiny
Ofln - Zero 7 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny





I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

Line by Line Meaning

I lie awake
I am unable to sleep


I've gone to ground
I have retreated or hidden myself away


I'm watching porn
I am engaged in watching sexually explicit material


In my hotel dressing gown
I am wearing a bathrobe in my accommodations


Now I dream of you
I am having thoughts of you in my sleep


But I still believe
I maintain faith or hope


There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
This space is occupied by only me and it feels desolate


The journey's long
The distance between us is great


And it feels so bad
It is emotionally distressing


I'm thinking back to the last day we had
I am reflecting on our previous encounter


Old moon fades into the new
Night turns to day


Soon I know I'll be back with you
I am hopeful for our reunion


I'm nearly with you
I am getting closer to you


When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
You provide me with emotional support during difficult times


And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I have the ability to uplift and improve your emotional state when you are feeling down


And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You revive and rejuvenate me when I am feeling low


Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
Despite the physical distance between us, we believe that we are meant to be together


On a clear day
When the skies are clear


I'll fly home to you
I will travel back to be with you


I'm bending time getting back to you
It feels like time is moving slower because I am eager to be with you again


I'll fly, I'll fly home
I will travel by air to get back to you

Destiny - Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sia]
I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
And now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one
In this lonely hotel suite

[Verse 2: Sia]
The journey's long
And I feel so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had

[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

[Chorus: Sia & Sophie Barker]
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

[Verse 3: Sia]
On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time
Getting back to you

[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

[Chorus: Sia & Sophie Barker]
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

[Outro: Sia]
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

I'm Russian and I don't understand many of the words in this song, but I feel every one of them. Zero 7 has been on my playlist for over 10 years and will never leave. I am sad and happy with them, they are always waiting for me, my refuge, like my medicine, like my drug, to which I will always return ..))) I have all the albums, and many Russians also love this music, How? very simple: there are many nations, and there is only one music))) this is the soul of the world

@vacuumblink2300

Do you understand the “watching porn” part? 😂

@danburnes722

They love it in Ukraine too.

@MrOneofakind777

You say you don't understand many of the words, but you wrote a beautiful message in English.
