The Darkest One
Embrace the Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of 'The Darkest One' Meaning
Lyrics
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come into this space
From under these darling skies come in
Seek refuge beneath the skies
It's warm and it's safe here and almost harkening
The environment is warm and secure, almost inviting
Off to a time and place now lost on our imagination
Reference to a distant time and place now only existing in our imagination
Where you don't complain, but you still do
In this place, people avoid complaining, though they may still do
And you don't explain if you want to explain
No obligation to explain, but the option remains
What you believe you say without shame, 'I just do'
Express beliefs without shame, simply because that's what one does
To say what you mean you don't mean what you say
To communicate honestly, saying what you mean, even if it contradicts your actions
Or you do
Or perhaps you genuinely mean what you say
Where the wild are strong (Wild are strong)
In this realm, the wild are resilient and powerful
And the strong are the darkest ones (The strong are the darkest ones)
The strongest individuals carry a certain darkness within
And you're the darkest one
The listener is addressed as the darkest one
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Invitation to enter, now from harsh prairie winds
From thin and wicked prairie winds, come in
The atmosphere is still warm and secure
It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
Similar to earlier, almost heartening
Here in a time and place not lost on our imagination
Reference again to a time and place lost to imagination
Where you don't explain, but you still do
No obligation to explain, but the option remains
And you can complain if you want to complain
Permission to complain if desired
Where you're real instrumental or supple
Reference to being real, instrumental, supple, or sexy
Or sexy as hell
Expressing beliefs without shame, but also acknowledging uncertainty
Where you say 'I believe' or say without shame
Indicating a willingness to say 'I can't tell'
'I can't tell'
Where the wild are strong (Wild are strong)
The strongest individuals carry a certain darkness within (repeated)
And the strong are the darkest ones (The strong are the darkest ones)
Addressed again as the darkest one
And you're the darkest one
Reiteration of being the darkest one
And you're the darkest one
Repetition, emphasizing the listener as the darkest one
And if that's what you want
If embracing darkness is your desire
Oh then you're the darkest one
Confirmation that you are indeed the darkest one
