Desire
Radio Lyrics

The opening lines of Radio Birdman's song Anglo Girl Desire express the idea of a mysterious, unknown presence watching over the subject of the song as she walks down the street. The image of an "eye from outer space" with its hand on the subject's life is eerie and unsettling. The use of the word "reflections" to describe the subject's eyes helps to create the impression that she is not in control of her life, but is a mere reflector of the desires and needs of others. The line "fires burning in my heart" suggests that the presence watching over the subject is driven by strong emotions, and may have a dangerous or malevolent intent.

The chorus of the song brings in a different character, "Hey Dog," who can hear the lonely screams of the unknown presence. This character is wistful and longing, and his desire for the subject is expressed in gentle touches that she can feel but not see. The location is given as "999 End of the night," which implies a sense of finality and inevitability. The subject herself is described as a dancer, moving to the beat of the rock bands she loves. However, her image changes when she meets the gaze of the unknown presence. She becomes someone who is ready to be shown "what [she] needs to live."

Overall, the lyrics of Anglo Girl Desire create a world where the powerful gaze of an unknown presence dominates the lives of those it watches. The presence is driven by strong emotions and desires, but there is no clear context or explanation for its actions. The chorus adds a touch of pathos to the song, with the lonely cry of "Hey Dog" representing a yearning for connection in a world where we are observed but never truly seen.
