Destiny
Zero 7 feat. Sia & Sophie Barker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lie awake
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

Line by Line Meaning

I lie awake
I cannot sleep


I've gone to ground
I am hiding from the public eye


I'm watching porn
I am entertaining myself with explicit content


In my hotel dressing gown
I am in a relaxed state, dressed comfortably


Now I dream of you
You are my current obsession


But I still believe
I have hope


There's only enough for one in this
This hotel room is only suitable for one person


Lonely hotel suite
This room is increasing my feelings of isolation


The journey's long
Being apart from you is difficult


And it feels so bad
I am experiencing emotional pain


I'm thinking back to the last day we had
I am reminiscing about the last time we were together


Old moon fades into the new
Time is passing


Soon I know I'll be back with you
I am confident that we will be reunited soon


I'm nearly with you
I am almost there


When I'm weak I draw strength from you
You give me the strength to carry on


And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I have the power to make you feel better when you are struggling


And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You have the ability to uplift me when I am feeling low


Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
Our fate is intertwined, despite the distance between us


On a clear day
In the future


I'll fly home to you
I will come back to you


I'm bending time getting back to you
I am willing to do whatever it takes to be with you again


I'll fly, I'll fly home
I am committed to returning to you

Destiny - Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sia]
I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
And now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one
In this lonely hotel suite

[Verse 2: Sia]
The journey's long
And I feel so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had

[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
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

[Chorus: Sia & Sophie Barker]
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

[Verse 3: Sia]
On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time
Getting back to you

[Pre-Chorus: Sia]
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

[Chorus: Sia & Sophie Barker]
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

[Outro: Sia]
I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

I'm Russian and I don't understand many of the words in this song, but I feel every one of them. Zero 7 has been on my playlist for over 10 years and will never leave. I am sad and happy with them, they are always waiting for me, my refuge, like my medicine, like my drug, to which I will always return ..))) I have all the albums, and many Russians also love this music, How? very simple: there are many nations, and there is only one music))) this is the soul of the world

@vacuumblink2300

Do you understand the “watching porn” part? 😂

@danburnes722

They love it in Ukraine too.

@MrOneofakind777

You say you don't understand many of the words, but you wrote a beautiful message in English.
