About This Track

Zero 7's 'Destiny' unfolds as a meditation on distance and devotion, built from the interplay of two voices across five and a half minutes of restrained production. The song moves through the mundane loneliness of hotel rooms and the ache of separation, anchored by a simple conviction: that two people miles apart can still sustain each other. When weak, one draws strength from the other; when lost, mood can be shifted; when down, life is breathed back in. The architecture is repetitive but purposeful, the chorus returning to its central claim with the weight of something believed rather than performed. Sophie Barker and Sia share vocal duties, their voices distinct enough to suggest dialogue without ever quite arguing. The production stays minimal, allowing the emotional logic of the lyrics to carry the track. There is no rush here, no attempt to convince through volume or arrangement. Instead, 'Destiny' trusts that the idea of mutual sustenance across distance will resonate simply because it is stated plainly and sung with care.

"Destiny" is a single by Zero 7, released 6th August 2001. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Destiny

I lie awake, I've gone to ground
I'm watchin' porn in my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you but I still believe
There's only enough for one in this lonely hotel suite

The journey's long and it feels so bad
I'm thinkin' back to the last day we had
Old moon fades into the new
And soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you, I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost, I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down, you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart, we are each other's destiny

On a clear day, I'll fly home to you
I'm bendin' time, I'm gettin' back to you
Old moon fades into the new
And soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you, I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost, I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down, you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart, we are each other's destiny, yeah

When I'm weak, I draw strength from you
And when you're lost, I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down, you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart, we are each other's destiny

I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home
