POETS OF THE FALL

- Desire Lyrics

Fatal velocity, comes on with a rush, overpowering, gives the final push

What never moves, is never still, who has the final word
It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide
So run for your life

A false sincerity, a liar and a thief, my pulse and memory, a comfort within grief

What never moves, is never still, who has the final word
It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd

Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life
Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide

Given into this sensation, feel I've run too far
Cannot see beyond emotion, see what the options are
With no faith to trust the notion, I fear I'm losing all control

Kill...

What is the meaning behind Desire lyrics?


When we try to understand the message behind it, Poets of the Fall's 'Desire' is a song that discusses the extreme and not the least overpowering side of desire, which it does with the help of metaphors such as 'fatal velocity' and 'a single pill.' It represents the conflict between giving in to desire on one hand and seeking truth and faith on the other. The lyrics of desire largely manifest the feelings of angst, despair, reflection, anger, and solitude. The song has also great a lot to do with the importance of conflict and struggle, existential absurdity, and loss of control besides desire. The lyrics of the song contain themes of desire, struggle, and existential reflection, which are more adult and might be too strong for children. The continuous repetition of the phrase 'kill sweet desire' hints at a struggle with very strong feelings that could be interpreted as sexual, enticing, or even just suggested. Furthermore, the overall atmosphere and topic may have been meant for an older audience, thus the PG-13 rating.
