The repetition of the phrase "desert woman" in ZHU's song is multifaceted in its meaning. On one level, it could be interpreted as an homage to the resilient strength of women who have lived in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the desert. Their perseverance and tenacity are celebrated, and the repetition emphasizes the importance and power of their existence. On another level, the repetition could be a sort of mantra, a meditative chant that ZHU is using to bring himself into a trance-like state. When vocals are used repeatedly in a song, as they are here, the effect is hypnotic, and the listener is lulled into a semi-conscious state.
Another possible interpretation of the song is that ZHU is comparing the barren, lifeless landscape of the desert to the emptiness he feels without his lover. The longing for connection and the intensity of his emotions are juxtaposed against the vast, lonely desert. By using a repetitive phrase, ZHU may be attempting to convey the sense of isolation and numbness he feels without his partner.
Overall, "Desert Woman" is a haunting and powerful ode to both the resilience of women and the overwhelming nature of human emotions. ZHU has created a soundscape that is both mesmerizing and intellectually stimulating.
