The band has revealed on some interviews that this song is about spiritual enlightenment, and is also very special for the band members because they were t...
[Chorus: All]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you
[Verse 1: Luke]
I’ve been asleep so long
I'm so far away
Visions I see are strong
I hear what they say
Won't you leave all your fears at the edge of the world?
I’ll tell you again like I told you before
I've been asleep so long
Wasting away
[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
Tell me, would you pack up all your bags, stay true to North?
You're the only one I'd do this for
[Chorus: All]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you
[Verse 2: Luke, All, Luke & Calum]
It doesn't take too long (Ah)
To heal and replace (Ah)
The demons we're running from (Ah)
They're begging to stay
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum, All]
Tell me, would you pack up all your bags, stay true to North?
You’re the only one I’d do this for
[Chorus: All]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you
[Bridge: All]
Red
Red
Red, red
Red, red
[Chorus: All, Luke, Ashton]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I’d dive deeper for you
(Dive in deeper for you, dive in deeper for you)
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you
(All these moments with you, all these moments with you)
[Outro: All]
Pack up all your bags, stay true to North
You're the only one I'd do this for
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you

We did this cover of “Killer Queen” by Queen before we wrote this song. We’d sing a harmony all together and do it eight times, then the next harmony all together in the booth eight times, building these huge gang vocals like they would. I think that opened our eyes to what we could do vocally as a...
During an Instagram Live session on March 23, Luke and Calum played a snippet of the track:
On an interview with Ash London LIVE, Ashton Irwin explained:
We love that song. There’s a couple things we were trying to get across with that song. It was actually the first song we wrote for CALM and it was a comfronting song ‘cause, stylistically, it’s very different of everything else. But I l...
This was one of the first songs we wrote for the album CALM, and it brings me a great sense of joy that this song made it all the way to the final version of the album. Through the whole album process, we write so many songs for each album that we make, and we hold a very high standard of what makes...
