The Day It All Went Black
Embracing Darkness: The Day It All Went Black
Lyrics
Now this is black on black and no inch back
Describes an irreversible situation, a point of no return where everything is enveloped in darkness.
Words like a rope around your neck
Words have a suffocating or constricting effect, akin to a noose around one's neck.
A mute darkness took our days
Refers to a silence or absence that swallowed up the joy or vibrancy of life.
Cloaked our ways and erased
The darkness covered or obscured the usual paths or routines, erasing their familiarity.
Every single track of life
All traces or signs of life's journey or progress were wiped out.
The sickness crawled right up, right up our spines
Describes a feeling of a creeping, unsettling illness affecting one's core or essence.
Black on black and no inch back
Reiteration of an irreversible, engulfing darkness, indicating no retreat from this state.
Words without hope around your neck
Words lack any hopeful quality, exacerbating the feeling of entrapment.
A brute darkness took our days
Emphasizes a harsh, relentless darkness that consumed the essence of time and grace.
And our grace, just to praise
The grace or beauty in life was sacrificed to glorify the plague or affliction that took over.
Our very plague
Highlighting the ailment as a dominant force controlling existence.
The sickness crawled right up, right up our spines
Reinforces the idea of an invasive sickness affecting the core or essence of individuals.
Mark my words and heal my tongue
Request for acknowledgment and restoration, a plea for healing and recognition.
Silence to man's song
Desire for the silence or absence of noise in humanity's narrative.
Mark my tongue and heal my words
Request for restoration of the ability to articulate effectively, healing the power of expression.
Silence all along
Emphasizes the continued presence of silence or absence.
Black on black and no inch back
Reiteration of the inescapable, engulfing darkness, suggesting a relentless hold on life.
Each letter but a vile attack
Each written word symbolizes a harmful attack or assault.
Saluted fear and vertigo
References a salute or acknowledgment of fear and disorientation, feeding negativity.
Lit the lows, fed the crows
Stoking negativity and distractions that veer away from the right path.
And kept off track
Continuing to stay off course or distracted from what's essential.
The sickness crawled right up, right up our spines
Reiterates the invasive nature of the sickness affecting individuals at their core.
Mark my words and heal my tongue
A plea for healing and restoration, a repetition emphasizing the need for change.
Silence to man's song
Desire for silence in the human narrative, again emphasizing the absence of positive voices.
Mark my tongue and heal my words
A repetition of the need for healing in communication and expression.
Silence all along
Continued presence and dominance of silence or absence.
Remember
Instruction to recall or hold onto the memory of a specific event or moment.
Remember the day
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the day when darkness enveloped everything.
It all went black
Reiterating the moment when everything was consumed by darkness.
