Destiny
zero 7 feat. sia furler 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 am unable to sleep peacefully


I've gone to ground
I am avoiding being seen or found


I'm watching porn
I am indulging in watching explicit videos


In my hotel dressing gown
I am in my hotel room wearing comfortable clothing


Now I dream of you
I am imagining being with you


But I still believe
I maintain a faith that we will be together


There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite
The hotel room is only meant for one person and feels lonely


The journey's long
The distance between us is vast


And it feels so bad
The situation causes negative emotions


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
The old moon will soon be replaced by a new one


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


I'm nearly with you
I am very close to being with you


When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
You are my source of strength when I feel weak


And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
I can help you feel better when you are feeling down


And when I'm down you breathe life over me
You help me feel alive when I am feeling low


Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
We are fated to be together despite the distance between us


On a clear day
On a day with good weather conditions


I'll fly home to you
I will travel to be with you


I'm bending time getting back to you
I am trying to speed up time so that I can be with you sooner


I'll fly, I'll fly home
I am determined to get back to you no matter what

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.
