Dark Matter
Unraveling the Veil: Grace Carter's Reflection on Dark Matter
Lyrics
Thank you, oh, thank you for praying for me
Gratitude expressed for those who prayed for the singer
And thank you God, thank you for being with me
Gratitude to God for His presence and support
I've never been religious
Expresses lack of inclination towards religion
Never thought I'd need a father
Never anticipated needing a paternal figure
Most of me is just my mother
Identity mostly shaped by the singer's mother
The rest is dark matter
Suggests an enigmatic or unknown part of the singer's identity
Thank you, oh, thank you for coping with me
Grateful for those who have dealt with the singer
And thank you God, thank you for taking the blame from me
Grateful to God for shouldering responsibility/blame
Have I pushed you to your limits?
Questioning if the singer has tested someone's endurance
Have I burnt out all the bridges?
Wondering if bridges have been irreparably damaged
Or am I just another victim
Contemplating if the singer is a victim of their own complexities
To this dark matter?
Referring to unresolved, obscure aspects as "dark matter"
This is just a letter
Describing the song as a letter expressing thoughts
I could write so much that my fingers'll start bleeding
Expressing a desire to convey extensive emotions
But when I think of all you've done it's so hard to be honest
Struggling to honestly acknowledge someone's contributions
Hard to be honest
Emphasizing the difficulty of honesty regarding "dark matter"
To this dark dark matter
Referencing again the enigmatic or unresolved aspects
Thank you, oh, thank you for being the man to me
Grateful for someone's role as a male figure in the singer's life
And thank you Lord, thank you for laying that damage on me
Thanking God for allowing difficulties that led to growth
Never thought you were a sinner
Uncertainty about someone's moral standing
But I think you need a conscience
Suggesting a lack of conscience in someone unexpected
Thought you'd be that father figure
Expectation of a fatherly figure contrasted with obscurity
But you're just dark matter
Labeling someone as enigmatic or unknown, like "dark matter"
Thank you Lord, thank you for all of your lies to me
Gratitude expressed for the lessons learned from lies
And thank you Lord, thank you for going quiet on me
Thanking God for a phase of silence that brought reflection
I'll never be religious
Reaffirming a lack of religious inclination
And I'll never need a father
Denying the need for a paternal figure
Never thought I'd write this letter
Surprise at composing a letter about enigmatic aspects
To this dark matter
Referring again to the ambiguous or unresolved "dark matter"
