Desire
The Countermen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So take it slow
You said desire never lasts
So let it go
I know I can make it last
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
I promise that I won't
You're yours, I'm mine
Don't tell me lies
You promised that you won't
Why do you lie
Oh
Why do you lie
Oh no
Why do you lie
Oh no
The Countermen's song "Desire" portrays a sense of desperation and confusion in the mind of the singer. The first lines of the song "I know the fire's burning out, so take it slow" depicts the confusion that arises when one is putting in effort to keep a flame burning but it still fades out. The singer is struggling to keep the desire alive but simultaneously acknowledges that it may be fleeting. The second line "you said desire never lasts so let it go" further portrays the idea that in spite of trying hard, the desire may not last long.
In the chorus, the singer pleads with his partner not to let him go, indicating that- although they may be fading- there is still a spark between them. However, the partner is not holding up their end of the bargain, as seen in the lines "Don't waste my time, I promise that I won't, You're yours, I'm mine, Don't tell me lies, You promised that you won't". The singer is now left with unanswered questions and confusion, as indicated by the line "why do you lie".
Overall, "Desire" is a song about struggling with fading love, desperation and trying to maintain a spark that may ultimately not be sustainable in the long run.
