Real Desire
Unveiling the Flames: Decoding Dan Auerbach's 'Real Desire'
Lyrics
I know that you're wanted
I am aware that you are desired or sought after by others.
But every little thing talks
Every small detail or action communicates a message.
Take your pick and maybe they'll serve you, yeah
You have various options, and perhaps others will cater to your wishes.
But you, you will put them down
However, you will reject or dismiss those options.
Talk, but never listen
You engage in conversation but don't listen to others.
So how you wanna play your game
You decide how you want to approach your interactions or relationships.
Try to step on me baby
Attempting to dominate or control me in some way.
Oh, and I will, I will do the same
If you do so, I will reciprocate and respond in a similar manner.
Because you want to set the world on fire
Your goal is to create a significant impact or change in the world.
Little men, we'll never do
Individuals of lesser importance or influence will not achieve this.
Made you think I'd be a desire, oh darling
You thought I would be an object of desire, but...
Oh I, I see right through
I can see through your intentions or facade.
Clouded skies have lifted
Previously unclear situations have become more evident.
And voices ring out from the wire
Vocal expressions are heard, possibly overcoming previous obstacles.
If you'll say you never meant to hurt me, no
If you claim you didn't mean to harm me, it would be a false statement.
Oh you would be a liar
You would be dishonest if you deny the intention to hurt.
Because you want to set the world on fire
Similar to line 11, reiterating the desire to make a significant impact.
And a little man will never do
Reiterating the idea that less significant individuals won't achieve this.
Made you think I'd be a desire, oh darling
Revisiting the notion that I am not the desired object you thought.
You know I see right through
I can perceive the truth or reality behind the situation.
