Desire Lyrics
I wanna go to the sun
Hold my life like I've never done
But it's just the devil in me
The devil that's calling as I come undone
The sky is getting dark tonight
Darker than the fear that's gonna pull us apart
The beating is the sound of love
The sound of love is beating like a fevered heart
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
It's heavenly, heavenly desire
Desire, desire, desire
I wanna lay in the dust
The dust is gonna fall here when I lie
God knows it's just the devil in me
The devil that's taking my hand to the fire
I never wanna leave you now
Leave you like the sun is gonna disappear
But it's just believing now
Believing in my heart is what I've come to fear
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
It's heavenly, heavenly desire
Desire, desire, desire
I've got desire, desire
I've got desire, desire
And only the lonely, only the lonely fall
Only the lonely, only the lonely fall, fall
I want to go to the fire
But God knows it's the sound, it's the sound of love
It's the beating of my heart
That you find it's beating
And it's coming, coming, coming for you
And it's just the devil in me
It's just a door to the devil gathered in disguise
Taking me by the hand
And leading me, leading me off into the fire
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
It's heavenly, heavenly desire
Desire, desire, desire
You don't have to be lost
(Desire, desire)
You don't have to be lost
(Desire, desire)
You don't have to be lost
(Desire, desire)
Hold my life like I've never done
But it's just the devil in me
The devil that's calling as I come undone
The sky is getting dark tonight
Darker than the fear that's gonna pull us apart
The beating is the sound of love
The sound of love is beating like a fevered heart
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
It's heavenly, heavenly desire
Desire, desire, desire
The dust is gonna fall here when I lie
God knows it's just the devil in me
The devil that's taking my hand to the fire
I never wanna leave you now
Leave you like the sun is gonna disappear
But it's just believing now
Believing in my heart is what I've come to fear
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
It's heavenly, heavenly desire
Desire, desire, desire
I've got desire, desire
And only the lonely, only the lonely fall
Only the lonely, only the lonely fall, fall
But God knows it's the sound, it's the sound of love
It's the beating of my heart
That you find it's beating
And it's coming, coming, coming for you
And it's just the devil in me
It's just a door to the devil gathered in disguise
Taking me by the hand
And leading me, leading me off into the fire
And it's the fire, the fire, the fire
It's heavenly, heavenly desire
Desire, desire, desire
(Desire, desire)
You don't have to be lost
(Desire, desire)
You don't have to be lost
(Desire, desire)

So ridiculously good. The meaning's pretty obvious, but I can't get over the passion in these lyrics!
She is very original. But for some reason she sounds reminiscent of like something from Roy Orbison. Very unique. Love her work. :)

Anna has mentioned in many interviews that 'the devil' is a metaphor for hidden desires and a loss of control. In this song it is clear that the narrator has succumbed to her desires but rather than try to fight against it, she has embraced it.
