The Dark
Embracing Shadows: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and the Unknown
Lyrics
Saving our smiles for another day
Saving our positive emotions for a later time.
A few more miles and we’ll kill the engine
Driving a few more miles until we stop the engine.
This tank is feelin’ empty anyway
The fuel tank is nearly empty, suggesting a sense of depletion.
You’re pulling close to me, there’s nothing more to say
Intimacy or closeness, where words are unnecessary.
Watching the constellations taking shape
Observing the formation of constellations, possibly symbolizing patterns or destinies.
Learning to love something we can’t escape
Learning to love something that cannot be avoided or escaped.
Feelin your body as it starts to shake
Feeling the physical response of a partner, perhaps in a romantic context.
Every time a wave breaks, every time the waves break
A connection to the natural world, finding beauty in the rhythm of waves breaking.
Woah, and we don’t wanna know how this story goes
A desire to remain ignorant of the potential negative outcome of the current situation.
Woah, it’s getting dark out here we got so far to go
As darkness falls, there's a realization of a long journey ahead.
Some days I feel the future taking shape
Sensing the future unfolding, with a mix of optimism and uncertainty.
Most days I’m searching for some Great Escape
On most days, searching for a way to escape from challenges or difficulties.
Testing the limits that one heart can take
Pushing the emotional limits that a heart can endure.
Some days I feel it bend, some days I feel it break
Experiencing both resilience and vulnerability on different days.
Some days I lose something I can’t replace
Losing something valuable on certain days, leading to a sense of irreplaceable loss.
In the beginning there was nothingness
Reflecting on the origin of existence, starting from nothingness.
The light came later just to fill the space
The emergence of light in life, filling the void or emptiness.
So why should I believe there’s light inside of me?
Questioning the presence of inner light or positivity.
Woah, and we don’t wanna know how this story goes
Reiterating the desire to remain oblivious to the potential negative turn of events.
Woah, we can’t keep running away from the dark outside our door
Acknowledging the darkness outside and the impossibility of avoiding it.
It’s at our door! It’s getting dark out and we got so far to go
The darkness is imminent, and the journey ahead is extensive.
Woah, we can’t keep running away, now run away!
Realizing the futility of running away from challenges.
Taking flight from a sudden rain
Responding to an unexpected challenge or obstacle.
Flashes of light in the nothingness
Flashes of insight or understanding in the midst of uncertainty.
I feel you smile and I’m giving chase
Feeling joy in pursuit of someone or something.
So are we running wild, or just running away?
Questioning whether the pursuit is adventurous or simply an escape.
Woah, and we already know how this story goes
Accepting the inevitable outcome of the unfolding story.
Woah, we can't keep running away from the dark outside our door
The acknowledgment that avoiding darkness is unsustainable.
It's at our door! Yeah, we got so far to go
The darkness is imminent, and the journey remains challenging.
Woah, I ain’t afraid of the dark no more!
Overcoming the fear of darkness, suggesting personal growth.
I ain't afraid of the dark no more!
A declaration of courage, asserting a lack of fear towards darkness.
