“Desire” is about exactly what its name suggests, but this poppy bop still has a bit of Everything Everything’s signature lyrical depth to it. Our narrator is consumed by his desires and overwhelmed by his sense of aggrieved entitlement. It’s not so much about desire as it is about the destructive...
[Verse 1]
I want this planet and I want it now
To beat like an anvil 'til the poison's out
I am a pencil pusher with the pencil pusher blues
What the hell do I have left to lose?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't stop now
(Can you do the things you dream about?)
I don't know how
(Do you wish to see fire in the clouds?)
It's too late!
[Chorus]
Desire, desire, desire
I can't stop now
Desire, desire, desire
[Verse 2]
I want disaster, I don't want to sleep
It fills my vision, I can hardly speak
I'm just a knuckle-dragger with the knuckle-dragger grin
You took my mind and left a hollow twin
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm almost there
(They have different colours of blood)
I don't think so
(They have power like you never could)
It's too late!
[Chorus]
Desire, desire, desire
I can't stop now
Desire, desire, desire
[Bridge]
Can I tell you that I'm empty?
This is all that I see clearly
Can I tell you that I'm empty?
This is all that I see clearly
[Chorus]
Desire, desire, desire
I can't stop now
Desire, desire, desire
I said it's too late!
Desire, desire, desire
I don't know how
Desire, desire, desire
[Outro]
Just let, just let me go
Just let, let me go
Can I tell you that I'm empty?
This is all that I see clear

It’s kind of just about… desire, obviously. But, wanting something so much that you don’t care about the consequences of getting it. Sometimes I feel like that’s how people are living nowadays. It’s just...
