Destiny

Zero 7's song "Destiny" delves into the profound connection between two individuals who are separated by distance but remain deeply intertwined emotionally and spiritually. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing and the solace found in the thought of reuniting with a loved one. The opening lines set a somber tone, with the protagonist feeling isolated in a hotel room, yet finding comfort in dreams of their partner. This juxtaposition of physical loneliness and emotional closeness is a recurring theme throughout the song.

The journey described in the song is both literal and metaphorical. The protagonist reflects on the time spent apart and the anticipation of being together again. The imagery of the old moon fading into the new symbolizes the passage of time and the hope of renewal. The repeated refrain, "I'm nearly with you," emphasizes the closeness they feel despite the miles that separate them. This sense of nearing reunion provides a glimmer of hope and strength to endure the separation.

The chorus highlights the mutual support and understanding that defines their relationship. The lines "When I'm weak I draw strength from you" and "When you're lost I know how to change your mood" illustrate the deep emotional bond and the way they uplift each other. The idea that they are each other's destiny, even when apart, underscores the theme of an unbreakable connection. The song concludes with a promise of return, symbolized by the repeated phrase "I'll fly home," reinforcing the commitment to reunite and the enduring nature of their bond.
