TALK TALK
- Desire Lyrics / with translations(Mark Hollis / Tim Friese-Greene)
Desire
Whispered spoken
In time
Rivers oceans
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself
Of mind
Sheltered broken
Denied gifted stolen
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself
Desire
Whispered spoken
In time
Rivers oceans
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself
Of mind
Sheltered broken
Denied gifted stolen
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself

The words indicate a conflict between wanting more and the quietness that comes with being oneself, even if it means undergoing hard times. The comparisons of rivers, seas, and being sheltered or broken vividly depict the persons' choices and the internal struggles he has to go through in life, thereby giving a clear message that he should strive for inner peace rather than the outer world approval. The lyrics of Desire pretty much revolve around the themes of angst, reflection, solitude, heartbreak, and despair.
