I'm going to the darklands
Expressing a desire to go to a place associated with darkness and uncertainty.
To talk in rhyme
Desiring to communicate in a poetic, rhythmic manner within this dark place.
With my chaotic soul

As sure as life means nothing
Suggesting a belief that life lacks inherent meaning or purpose.
And all things end in nothing
Implying a nihilistic perspective, that all things ultimately lead to nothingness or void.
And heaven I think
Contemplating the proximity of heaven to hell, possibly suggesting a blurred distinction between good and evil.
Is too close to hell

I want to move I want to go

I want to go

Oh something won't let me
Feeling unable to reach the place associated with the "darklands."
Go to the place
Describing the destination as the location where the darklands exist.
Where the darklands are
Awakening from dreams into a frightening and chaotic reality.
And I awake from dreams
Encountering a distressing world filled with loud, fearful sounds.
To a scary world of screams
Reflecting again on the proximity of heaven to hell, possibly emphasizing the confusion between good and evil.
And heaven I think
Expressing the desire to move away or escape from the distressing situation.

Take me to the dark

Oh god I get down on my knees

And I feel like I could die
