🎶 Kingdom of Desire song analysis

The performer reflects on his relationship with his partner, describing how it went from being passionate and joyful to a source of pain and suffering. He feels stabbed in the back and feels that his partner is trying to "kill" him with her "stilettos." To save their relationship, he decides to return to the "realm of desire" and descend into the "valley of the gun" to stand too close to the fire and fly too close to the sun, thus taking a risk. He then realizes how the search for something in life can sometimes be accompanied by pain, and that our prayers are not always answered. Finally, he decides to take the risk of venturing near the danger.
