"She found stability, the missing thing that keeps the characters on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in motion, the hunger that makes it sound so empowering and alive, years later. I think about "Desperation" and the last line of each chorus: "I'm still desperate for you." Like all the songs, it's an attempt to describe a sudden surge, a feeling at its peak. Desperation fades; anger subsides; heartbreak heals. Lambert sings knowing she's got something up her sleeve for whatever comes next".
