Lyric discussion by clarinette 

Cover art for Desire lyrics by Poets Of The Fall

I can't believe nobody's commented on this song!

I think it's supposed to mean that there's someone the singer's talking to who keeps denying some part of themselves (loving someone they're not supposed to, a career that others may scoff at, etc.), and the singer's telling him or her that they can't run from what's meant to be.

My Interpretation
