Lyrics

The room looks better in the dark like every night

The atmosphere improves when in darkness, a recurring nightly occurrence.

Walls no longer closing in, demons keeping away from me

The feeling of confinement lessens as personal struggles are kept at bay.

A fool in the dark without purpose, aim, or bearing

Feeling lost and directionless in the dark, lacking purpose or guidance.

A look in the eye that wonders why

An expression that reflects curiosity and questioning in one's gaze.


Never really had trust in light, it’s all too bright

Lack of trust in brightness, possibly associated with discomfort or vulnerability.

Figures of authority

Negative perceptions of authoritative figures.

There should be more people like me

Desire for more individuals with a similar disposition.

More fools in the dark without movement, goals or ideas

Advocating for more people without clear direction or purpose in the darkness.

The look in our eyes just wonders why

A collective questioning gaze among those in the dark.


When every thought comes under scrutiny

Every thought undergoes intense scrutiny.

My actions will betray my instability

Acknowledgment that personal actions may reveal inner instability.

Give me some time or turn your back on me

Request for understanding or a choice to turn away in the face of instability.

I will not remember the way i used to feel

An inability to recall past emotions or states of being.


The room sounds better with a fight

The environment is improved with conflict or struggle.

We realized we could not make it better

Recognition that improvement is challenging or unattainable.

Letting go's never that easy

Letting go of something is a difficult task.

We're fools in the dark without love, trust or compassion

Acknowledging a lack of essential elements like love, trust, and compassion in the dark.

The truth in our eyes don't wonder why

The truth in the collective gaze does not question why.


We can carry on, you set the tone

The ability to continue is influenced by external factors, with a call to set the tone.

You lead the way and turn me off

Leadership in guiding and disconnecting from the speaker's experience.

I had enough, i’m choking on

Feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope with difficult words.

The words that made it all so tough

The impact of words making the situation challenging.


There's a voice inside my head and its song is meaningless

The internal voice's song loses meaning as it persists.

Playing on and on until every note is wrong

The continuous playing of the internal voice's song leads to every note being perceived as wrong.
