They began as studio engineers at Mickie Most's RAK recording studio in London, engineering music for British groups like the Pet Shop Boys, Young Disciples, and Robert Plant. In 1997 they were asked by a college friend, Nigel Godrich (who was busy producing 'OK Computer'), to remix Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls". They called the mix "the Zero 7 Mix" which stuck.
Destiny
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
The lyrics of Zero 7's song "Destiny" depict a person who is longing for their loved one while being away from them. The singer is lying awake in a hotel room, feeling lonely and watching porn in their dressing gown. However, the person still believes that there is only enough space for one person in that lonely suite. The lyrics suggest that the person is quite desperate for their loved one's company and is trying to reach out to them even though they are miles apart. The singer reminisces about the last day they spent with their loved one and realizes that even though they are apart, they are each other's destiny.
The song highlights the universal feeling of longing for someone you love but cannot be with. The lyrics express the idea that distance and separation can't break the bond between two people. The song is a perfect representation of the emotion of being away from the one you love and how you try to overcome it, no matter what it takes.
Line by Line Meaning
I lie awake
I am unable to sleep
I've gone to ground
I am hiding or keeping a low profile
I'm watching porn
I am engaging in inappropriate behavior
In my hotel dressing gown
I am lounging in my hotel room attire
Now I dream of you
You are on my mind and in my thoughts
But I still believe
Despite the distance between us, I have faith in our relationship
There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
This environment is isolating and I yearn for companionship
The journey's long
The physical distance between us is great
And it feels so bad
This separation is causing emotional distress
I'm thinking back to the last day we had
I am reminiscing about our last day together
Old moon fades into the new
Time is passing and the moon is changing phases
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I am confident that we will be reunited soon
I'm nearly with you
We are getting closer to each other
When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
Your love and support gives me the courage to persevere
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I am able to uplift you when you are feeling down
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You inspire me during difficult times
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
Our love is fate and cannot be separated by distance
On a clear day
A day with good weather and clear skies
I'll fly home to you
I will travel back to be with you
I'm bending time getting back to you
I wish I could manipulate time to be with you sooner
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I am determined to return to you
