Dark Days, Dark Nights
Navigating Shadows: A Poetic Journey Through Turbulent Times
Lyrics
dark star, shine hard, dark road, warm car
Reflecting on challenges and obstacles (dark star, dark road) juxtaposed with comforting elements (shine hard, warm car).
white lines, bright signs, strong hands, dark minds
Contrast between purity (white lines, bright signs) and darkness (dark minds, strong hands).
you found love online no pain, no scars
Describing a love found online, highlighting the absence of pain and scars in the virtual realm.
good grief, good times, soft skin, hard parts
Contrasting emotions of grief and good times, along with the juxtaposition of soft skin and hard parts.
all safe, all fine, all good, all mine
Emphasizing safety, goodness, and ownership in a relationship.
oh oh happynumbness on the first take
Expressing a state of blissful numbness on the first attempt at happiness.
the heart's an instrument designed to ache
Viewing the heart as an instrument inherently designed for pain and longing.
all safe, all good, all fine
Reiteration of safety, goodness, and fine conditions in a relationship.
in times less depleted
Reflecting on a past with less depletion and challenging times.
with minds less defeated
Expressing a desire for a less defeated state of mind.
we held the future in our hands
Recalling a time when the future seemed promising and in control.
but let it go
Regretful acknowledgment of letting go of the promising future.
oh these hateful, stressful, tribalized times
Describing the current era as filled with hate, stress, and tribalism.
with all our petty, closed, galvanised minds
Critiquing closed-mindedness in a society marked by pettiness.
as messianic murderers inch toward their milestones
Warning against the progress of destructive individuals towards their goals.
our saintly sinner seems doomed from the get-go
Highlighting the inevitable failure of a morally ambiguous figure.
a testament to our compound dumbness
Commenting on collective foolishness and its consequences.
we take pride in what we're faking
Criticizing the pride taken in deceptive actions and personas.
now everyone can name the monster
Observing society's ability to recognize external threats but not its own contributions to them.
but not see their own hand in its making
Pointing out the obliviousness to personal involvement in societal issues.
in times less depleted
Repetition of the desire for a past with less depletion and defeat.
with minds less defeated
Reiteration of the hope for less defeated states of mind in the past.
we held the future in our hands
Recalling a time when control over the future seemed assured.
but let it go
Repeating the regretful acknowledgment of letting go of a promising future.
