Desire
Schiller (mit Veljanov) Lyrics

The lyrics to Schiller's song "Desire" speaks of a person's quest for something more in their life. It starts with the desire to turn their silver into gold, which in this context, means wanting to enhance their life with something richer and more fulfilling. The person being referred to in the song is not afraid of getting old, which suggests that they are not afraid of change or transformation. They want their soul to be different from the cold, and when night comes, they need someone to hold onto. The next lines suggest that the person isn't interested in using gold to build their dreams. They are already older and wiser than they appear, and they are searching for something that's more significant than superficiality. The person they are dealing with is portrayed as someone as cold as ice who plays with fire and is holding onto their ambitions.

The song's chorus repeats this search for something more - desiring their silver to be turned to gold, wanting their soul to be free of the cold, seeking someone to hold onto during the night. The lyrics imply that this person is unique because they aren't focused on basic aspirations but are instead working closely towards an enlightened life, one that is richer in value and more rewarding.
