Destiny
Sam Hardaker/Zero 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 am hiding from the world
I'm watching porn
I am engaging in a personal and private activity
In my hotel dressing gown
I am in my comfortable and casual hotel attire
Now I dream of you
You are currently occupying my thoughts
But I still believe
I hold onto hope despite my current circumstances
There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
I am alone and there is no room for anyone else
The journey's long
The travel to see you is lengthy
And it feels so bad
It is emotionally difficult to be apart from you
I'm thinking back to the last day we had
I am reflecting on fond memories of our time together
Old moon fades into the new
Time is passing and things are changing
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I have confidence that we will be together again
I'm nearly with you
I am close to being reunited with you
When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
You give me the motivation and inspiration to keep going
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I have the ability to lift your spirits when you are feeling down
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You revive and energize me when I am feeling low
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
Even though distance separates us, we belong together
On a clear day
Under optimal conditions
I'll fly home to you
I will travel to be with you
I'm bending time getting back to you
My eagerness and urgency to see you is causing me to lose track of time
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I am determined to be with you again
