Desire
Perturbator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We gotta get away and disappear
We're running out of time
The sun is low we'll go and break away
Fade into the light

They'll sell your soul just so you'll make believe
You're living in a lie
You never know the way you're killing me
Inside

Now I know the way to go
Show me things I'll never know
Do you want to run away tonight?

He broke my own heart into
He broke my own heart into a million pieces

No you're never gonna let it go
We play these games, so who's to blame?
We never change, just stay the same

Do you really want somebody else?

Say my name
So I fall to the flames
Feel you flow in my veins





We both know now love is not real

Line by Line Meaning

We gotta get away and disappear
We must leave this place and vanish without a trace


We're running out of time
We don't have much time left


The sun is low we'll go and break away
As the sun sets, let's escape from here


Fade into the light
Disappear into the brightness


They'll sell your soul just so you'll make believe
People will sacrifice your integrity for appearance's sake


You're living in a lie
You are laboring under a falsehood


You never know the way you're killing me inside
You are oblivious to my internal anguish


Now I know the way to go
Finally, I know the path to take


Show me things I'll never know
Introduce me to unfamiliar horizons


Do you want to run away tonight?
Would you like to flee together today?


He broke my own heart into
His actions shattered my heart into fragments


He broke my own heart into a million pieces
His actions caused my heart to be shattered into countless bits


No you're never gonna let it go
You won't ever let it go


We play these games, so who's to blame?
We engage in these activities, so who should be held responsible?


We never change, just stay the same
We never transform, we remain stagnant


Do you really want somebody else?
Do you truly want someone different?


Say my name
Utter my name


So I fall to the flames
As a result, I plunge into the inferno


Feel you flow in my veins
Sense your presence coursing through my bloodstream


We both know now love is not real
We currently realize that love is not genuine

these lyrics are so sad

We go to get away and disappear
We're running out of time
The sun is low we'll go and break away
Fade into the light


They'll sell your soul just so you'll make believe
You're living in a lie
You never know the way you're killing me
Inside


Now I know the way to go
Show me things I'll never know
Do you want to run away tonight?


He broke my own heart into
He broke my own heart into a million pieces


No you're never gonna let it go
We play these games, so who's to blame?
We never change, just stay the same
Do you really want somebody else?


Same again


So I fall to the flames
Feel you flow in my veins
We both know now love is not real
