Into The Dark
Embracing Shadows: Unraveling the Dark Depths of Bloodhounds' 'Into The Dark'
Lyrics
You lead me into the dark
You guide me into challenging or uncertain situations
You make me lie and I can’t stand
You compel me to deceive, and it's unbearable
The opening scenes of this story
Describing the initial moments of the narrative
And I don’t want to see the end of me
I don't wish to witness my own downfall
So take me away
Rescue me from this situation
I’d say take what you want from me
I would offer everything to you
But the last of my flesh was pecked from my bones
All my strength and essence have been consumed
See the lightning drain from your eyes
Witness the disappearance of hope or vitality in your gaze
It’s crawled it’s way in and eating your insides
An external force has infiltrated and is destroying you internally
Tear at the skin and bleed out the plague
Cause harm to yourself and release the destructive force
It doesn’t clot it doesn’t fade away
The damage is persistent and doesn't heal or vanish
So fade away
Accept the inevitable decline
Oh take me away
Take me away from this situation
I’d say take what you want from me
I would willingly surrender everything
But the last of my flesh was pecked from my bones
All my strength and essence have been consumed (repeated)
Just another day
Just another ordinary day
To take away this pain
To alleviate this suffering
Just another day
Just another ordinary day
To take away
To find relief
Pick up the pieces of my body and the rest of my mind
Collect the remnants of my physical and mental self
The only time I’ll ask for a hand is when you’re giving me mine
I only seek assistance when it benefits me
Cover the damage a smile’s all you will find
Cover up the harm with a smile, concealing true emotions
I’m made of olive branches
Symbolically made of peace and reconciliation
And in time you’ll come to see that
Over time, you'll realize my nature
When you reach out your veins stretch and entangle me
Your actions, when reaching out, ensnare and complicate my life
I hope I like it
Ambiguous anticipation of a dark experience
I don’t want to fight it
Unwillingness to resist or oppose the impending darkness
Something dark is coming and I just want to let it in
A sense that something ominous is approaching, and a desire to embrace it
