T​.​M​.​O. - Desire Could Never Be More Satisfied

from Music Kept Me Sane: The Best of Quicksand Kerry 1998​-​2008 by Kerry JK

/

about

This was the theme song for a series of messy transgender skit videos I was making with a group of friends. The lyrics aren't particularly deep, but the title was inspired by a line in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics, "…neither male nor female, because Desire could never be satisfied with just one gender". This quote came to define much of my gender identity at a time when non-binary had yet to be established as a grouping and all you could be was transvestite, transsexual or drag queen.

lyrics

Against my skin it feels so good
Like I always dreamed it would
Leave behind a life so dull
I feel beautiful

Make me into something sweet
Let me feel the air beneath my feet
I'm flying now, I'm on the wing
I love everything

Desire
Desire
Desire could never be more satisfied

Emotions swell like never before
I've tasted freedom and I want more
My life will never be the same
Life's a party, life's a game

Desire
Desire
Desire could never be more satisfied
