Lyrics
Where are you, desire?
Questioning the whereabouts of desire, seeking its presence or essence.

Feeling directionless or without a fixed identity, akin to a wanderer or someone newly arrived.

The thousand ages
Symbolizing the passage of time and experiences accumulated over many eras.

Come closer, I wanna brush your heart
Expressing a desire for emotional closeness, aiming to understand the lover's innermost feelings.
Stuck to each other, scratching off the grey

Planning to purify or refresh past aspirations and hopes, shedding their outer layers.
And if you'll hold up, baby

You'll see, there's something bright to fight for
Reiterating the idea of finding something worthwhile to strive for amid difficulties.
Hold up, baby

And we'll be a phoenix in the ashes
Visualizing a transformation from destruction or downfall into a powerful symbol of rebirth.
Hold up, baby
Reiterating the hope for transformation and renewal despite surrounding destruction or challenges.
And we'll be a phoenix in the ashes of the world
