Destiny
Zero 7 Sia & Sophie Barker 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
The journey's long
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 to Zero 7's "Destiny" tell the story of a person who is lonely and far away from their loved one. As they lie awake in their hotel room, they watch porn and dream of their significant other. The distance between them is palpable, but they draw strength from each other, knowing that they are each other's destiny.
The first verse sets the tone for the song, describing the loneliness and isolation the person feels. They are holed up in a hotel room, watching porn, and dreaming of their loved one. Even though they are physically alone, they still believe that their partner is with them in spirit.
The chorus suggests that the two are still very much in love, despite the distance between them. They draw strength from each other, and each has the power to change the other's mood. Even though they are miles apart, they are still each other's destiny. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and hopefulness as the singer dreams of being reunited with their loved one.
Overall, "Destiny" is a powerful depiction of the emotions that come with long-distance relationships. It captures the feelings of loneliness, hope, and love that can accompany such relationships and offers a message of empowerment, suggesting that even though they may be apart, the love the two share is still strong.
Line by Line Meaning
I lie awake
I cannot sleep and I am restless
I've gone to ground
I have retreated and gone into hiding
I'm watching porn
I am indulging in sexual fantasies to pass the time
In my hotel dressing gown
I am alone and unoccupied, lounging in my room
Now I dream of you
In this state of idleness, I think of you
But I still believe
Despite my current circumstances, I have faith
There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
This hotel room is too small for two people and I am alone
The journey's long
The distance between us is great and the time it takes to travel is extensive
And it feels so bad
This separation is causing me emotional pain
I'm thinking back to the last day we had
I reminisce about the last day we were together
Old moon fades into the new
Time passes and changes occur
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I have confidence that we will be reunited soon
I'm nearly with you
I am close to being with you again
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
You give me the strength I need to persevere when I am feeling weak
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I know how to comfort and uplift you when you are feeling down and helpless
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You revitalize me when my spirit is broken
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
Despite the physical distance, our fates are intertwined
On a clear day
Under certain conditions
I'll fly home to you
I will travel back to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
I will do whatever it takes to be with you again, including altering time itself
I'll fly home and I'll fly home
I am resolute in my determination to return to you
