This song was originally not planned to be on the album. However, this piece functions as a mosaic containing every style and genre that can be heard on the album. The lyrics deal with the anthropological idea that every knowledge of the existence, reality and life of humans - no matter how advanced it is - can be limited since everything is extended to infinity. The B-Part of "Desire to Know" is particularly reminiscent of music from the early 70s in terms of instrumentalization and harmony.
It seems like there’s no ending
Can’t make out life and reality
And what we’re only dreaming
I can feel it coming down again
(I can feel it coming down again)
But my mind is insufficient
I just wanna read between the lines
And I can feel it coming down again
