Take My Hand, Darkness
Embrace the Shadows: Hopewell Woods' Journey through the Dark
Lyrics
Long old dusty road
Refers to a lengthy, aged, and dusty path.
Calls my name
Suggests a compelling attraction or beckoning from the road.
And I don't know what to say
Expresses uncertainty or a lack of words in response to the call.
Long old dusty road
Repetition of the long, dusty road, emphasizing its significance.
Devils down there beneath the stone archway
Introduces a sinister element with devils beneath a stone archway.
He follows me out to the forest
Implies a continuous pursuit of the speaker by a malevolent force.
I can feel him while I rest
Suggests a haunting presence in the speaker's moments of rest.
We all know black is the night, but black is the day
Contrasts the typical association of black with night, indicating a darker aspect to the day.
I've seen that face before
Recalls a familiar face encountered in the past.
In the darkest night
Associates the face with the darkest night, suggesting a troubling memory.
And the coldest day
Extends the association to the coldest day, emphasizing hardship.
I've seen that face before
Reiteration of encountering the known face, now in a broader context.
In the hurricane and the darkest god damn day
Expands the association to challenging situations like a hurricane and the darkest day.
The devils got it in for you
Declares a malicious intent from the devil towards the speaker.
He told me yesterday
Reports a conversation with the devil, emphasizing a threat to the speaker.
You gotta get out of town boy
Advises the speaker to leave town for safety, reinforcing the danger.
You gotta get away
Emphasizes the urgency of escaping the threatening situation.
We all know black is the night, but black is the day
Reiterates the duality of darkness, both in the night and day.
Take my hand, darkness
Invokes a symbolic gesture of surrender or acceptance of darkness.
Take my hand
Repeats the plea to accept or embrace darkness, perhaps as a coping mechanism.
