Little Dark
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Lost Light in Hello Kelly's 'Little Dark'
Lyrics
She found a little dark
Discovery of something mysterious or troubling.
At the bottom of the cookie jar
Metaphor for hidden troubles or challenges.
These things, we
Uncertainty or unpredictability in life.
Can't plan em, they
Life events that cannot be planned.
Come from a different planet
Challenges or problems originating from unfamiliar sources.
Carefree in grade seven
A carefree attitude during adolescence.
Little dark found them at recess
Discovery of troubles during a break at school.
Weird haircut, no name brands
Non-conformity in appearance, lack of popular brands.
Listening to all the wrong bands
Listening to unconventional or unpopular music.
It took some time but you realize
Realization of someone overshadowing individual brilliance.
He covered up your shine
Being overshadowed, losing individuality.
Now you're an empty hole
Feeling empty and broken due to influence.
With a broken heart
Emotional pain caused by the influence of "little dark".
All your light got swallowed by a little dark
Losing personal brilliance to negativity or darkness.
Right then the world turned cold
Shift in perspective, world becoming colder.
Aching for a spark
Longing for positivity or inspiration.
But all your light got swallowed by a little dark
Continued impact of "little dark" on one's light.
He found a little dark
Another individual affected by darkness.
In the backseat of his teacher's car
Discovery of troubles in a relationship.
He said "Slow down, I'm not ready"
Unwillingness to proceed in a relationship.
She said "Baby, sweetheart, hey
Communication breakdown in a relationship.
I thought you said you loved me"
Unfulfilled promises or unrequited love.
It's easy to lose your glow
The difficulty of maintaining positivity in challenging times.
When you need a friend
The struggle to find support when needed.
But she won't let you go home
A refusal to let go of negativity or problems.
Now you're an empty hole
Individual affected by darkness, feeling empty.
With a broken heart
Continued emotional pain caused by "little dark".
All your light got swallowed by a little dark
Perseverance through darkness, but impact lingers.
When did you get so old?
Reflection on the loss of youth and vibrancy.
How'd you lose that spark?
Wondering how one lost their enthusiasm or spark.
All your light got swallowed by a little dark
Loss of personal brilliance to darkness.
I found a little dark, yeah
Personal encounter with darkness.
We found a little dark
Collective acknowledgment of facing challenges.
I was an empty hole
Personal struggle leading to emptiness and brokenness.
With a broken heart
Individual letting darkness take away their light.
I let my light get swallowed by a little dark
Personal acknowledgment of succumbing to darkness.
But with a hand to hold
Supportive relationships bring a glimmer of hope.
There's a tiny spark
Even a small source of support can bring light.
A little light illuminates a little dark
A little positivity can dispel darkness.
Oh, you're an empty hole
Individual affected by darkness, feeling empty.
With a broken heart
Continued emotional pain caused by "little dark".
All your light got swallowed by a little dark
Perseverance through darkness, but impact lingers.
And when the world's so cold
Navigating challenges when the world is unforgiving.
You don't know where to start
Feeling lost and unsure in difficult circumstances.
'Cause all your light got swallowed by a little dark
Continued impact of "little dark" on one's light.
But a little light illuminates a little dark
Even a small positive influence can dispel darkness.
A little light illuminates a little dark
Reiteration of the power of positivity in overcoming darkness.
