A Darkness
Navigating Shadows: A Melodic Tale of Heartache
Lyrics
I've never known a darkness like you
I have never experienced a darkness comparable to you
I've never known a darkness like you
Reiteration of the intensity of the darkness being addressed
There was all these shades of grey
Referring to a past state with various uncertainties and complexities
Now I'm all these shades of blue
Expressing a current state of deep sadness or depression
I've never known a darkness like you
Repetition emphasizing the uniqueness and profound nature of the darkness
Oh take a look at me
An invitation to observe the speaker's current condition
I'm drifting out to sea
Describing a feeling of drifting aimlessly, possibly disconnected from reality
I'm grieving for the land
Expressing sorrow and mourning for a lost or unattainable place
I'm drowning in this man
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by one's own existence
Who am I supposed to be
Pondering on the identity crisis and the struggle to find oneself
People always act so tough
Observation about people putting on a tough facade
They always try pretend that they're not hurt
Highlighting the tendency to pretend not to be hurt despite inner struggles
And no-one ever needs no-one
Suggesting a lack of genuine connection or dependency on others
Maybe it ain't maybelline
Playfully referencing a popular makeup advertisement slogan
Maybe it's all make believe
Speculating on the artificiality or illusion in people's lives
And everyone's a bit fucked up
Acknowledging that everyone has their own struggles and imperfections
I've never known a darkness like you
Reiteration of the unparalleled darkness experienced
I've never known a darkness like you
Emphasizing the profound impact of the addressed darkness
Well you've painted me by numbers
Metaphorically describing the speaker's emotional state after being influenced or manipulated
And now I'm black and blue
Expressing the aftermath of emotional manipulation with physical and emotional pain
I've never known a darkness like you
Reiteration of the unparalleled darkness experienced
Oh put on your winter coat
Advising to prepare for challenging times or emotional coldness
The sun is shining and I don't know
Contrasting external positivity with internal numbness or emotional detachment
As thought I feel numb
Describing a sense of emotional numbness
Do you think of me when you come
Pondering if the subject thinks of the speaker during intimate moments
Put on your winter coat
Reiteration of the advice to prepare for challenging times or emotional coldness
People always act so tough
Observation about people putting on a tough facade (repeated theme)
They always try pretend that they're not hurt
Highlighting the tendency to pretend not to be hurt (repeated theme)
And no-one ever needs no-one
Suggesting a lack of genuine connection or dependency on others (repeated theme)
Maybe it ain't maybelline
Playfully referencing a popular makeup advertisement slogan (repeated theme)
Maybe it's all make believe
Speculating on the artificiality or illusion in people's lives (repeated theme)
And everyone's a bit fucked up
Acknowledging that everyone has their own struggles and imperfections (repeated theme)
Take a look at me
Repetition of the invitation to observe the speaker's current condition
I'm drifting out to sea
Reiteration of drifting aimlessly, possibly disconnected from reality
