Lyrics
Trackless, walking nowhere
Feeling aimless, without direction
Out there in the hinterland
In a remote and uncultivated area
Hope disappears like sand
Hope vanishes like sand slipping away
We move through this deserted land
Navigating through an empty and desolate landscape
A glimmer of grace
A faint glimpse of beauty or kindness
As hold face
While maintaining composure
A watering hole where we try to shape
Searching for sustenance or meaning
We have lost all faith
Having lost all belief or trust
We are losing a battle
Engaged in a futile struggle
That never took place
Referencing a battle that never occurred
Desert of the heart
Describing an emotional wasteland
Desert of the heart
Reiterating the desolation within
Desert of the heart
Emphasizing the barrenness of emotions
A lonely march
A solitary and somber journey
Between dreams listless and lost
In the space between unfulfilled dreams
We fight these
Fighting against challenges
We fight these
Repeated emphasis on the struggle
By shaking it off
Coping by shaking off difficulties
And likely there are bones to be picked
Possibly facing challenges or confrontations
But we are so busy tricking
Busy with deception and being deceived
And being tricked
Desert of the heart
Expressing emotional emptiness
Desert of the heart
Highlighting the barrenness of emotions
Desert of the heart
Emphasizing the emotional void
Desert of the heart
Repeating the theme of emotional desolation
A lonely march
A solitary and somber journey continues
Alone we march
Marching forward alone
Alone we march
Emphasizing individual struggle
But there are flowers to blossom
Possibility of positive experiences or growth
They're ready to come
Indicating readiness for positive change
So take yourself out from under your thumb
Encouraging self-liberation
The world goes on turning
Life continues despite hardships
And the damage is done
Acknowledging past damage or difficulties
But we must keep going
Emphasizing the importance of perseverance
We must do what needs to be done
Stressing the necessity of fulfilling responsibilities
Desert of the heart
Reiterating the emotional wasteland metaphor
Desert of the heart
Expressing the depth of emotional desolation
Desert of the heart
Emphasizing the profound emotional emptiness
Desert of the heart
Repeating the theme of emotional barrenness
A lonely march
A solitary and somber journey persists
Alone we march
Marching forward individually
Alone we march
Emphasizing personal struggle
A lonely march
A continuing solitary and somber journey
