About This Quote

The breeze across the desert as the light died was so sweet she could almost drink it. “The breeze across the desert as the light died was so sweet she could almost drink it.” is a lyric from the song, "Forget Me Nots" by Fitz and the Tantrums. The lyrics describe a person who has given up on love and claims they can’t love or feel, but then later admits that the wind across the desert as the sun sets is so sweet she could almost drink it. The idea of drinking a breeze across a desert under a dying sunset is a metaphor for someone who has lost hope for finding love and happiness in their life.
