Desire Be Desire Go

The speaker describes a desire that arrives and may soon disappear. Rather than trying to hold on to it, they consider letting it come and go. At the same time, they seem uncertain about facing ordinary life and question the repeated pattern of each day. The mood moves between hesitation, frustration, and a tentative willingness to accept what they feel.

“Back and forth” suggests being caught in a cycle: the speaker keeps moving between thoughts or choices without reaching a clear answer. Asking “what’s it for?” conveys doubt about the purpose of this routine. “Check my watch” points to a life organized around time and schedules; wanting not to check it may imply a wish to feel freer. The phrase “dead side” appears to describe a way of living that feels lifeless or unappealing to the speaker, though its exact meaning is not explained.

The lyrics do not give a definite solution. “Dare I face the real world?” could express fear of practical responsibilities, or simply uncertainty about engaging with life as it is. Likewise, letting desire go might mean accepting changing feelings rather than suppressing them. The speaker’s repeated “I don’t know” keeps the ending unresolved: they may be finding a calmer attitude, but they have not fully escaped the cycle they describe.
