Desire Lyrics

Desire
Whispered spoken
In time
Rivers oceans

That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
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
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself

That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
Ain't got a bed of excuse for myself

That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
That ain't me babe
I'm just content to relax
Than drown within myself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A kind of counter-ambition song, where the writer is simply content with what they have in life and sees no need to be burdened by the weight of additional responsibilities or tasks in their life and not have to make excuses for doing so, summed up by "I'm just content to relax, than drown within myself" line. The song really plays off the parts of the lyrics that sound like they could come from a motivational poster in a gym backed by a quite guitar, organ and rumbling kettle drum, into the "relax" lyrics that unleashes a mass of noise.
