Lyrics
It's getting late, and my shift is about to start
Anticipation of starting a late shift.
Got drunk last night and now, I am paying the price
Regretting the consequences of getting drunk the previous night.
I climb the wall and rub my eyes, it's getting dark
Weary physical state, possibly tired or hungover.
I scout the waste and light a smoke, another boring night
Engaging in mundane activities in a desolate environment.
As time fly by, I start to think of you
Reflection on the past, reminiscing about someone.
Of days gone by and times that were so good
Nostalgia for happier times and memories.
I nearly shed some tears, and I fall apart
Emotional vulnerability, nearly breaking down.
And that's when I hear something in the dark
Sudden awareness or disturbance in the surroundings.
I flip the switch and aim the light, there's nothing there
Investigating the disturbance with caution.
Just a barren waste devoid of life, since the day, you left my life
Realization of a lifeless, desolate existence since a significant departure.
It's probably nothing, I'm hearing s-, but suddenly
Uncertainty and skepticism about the perceived sound.
From back of the rocks, I see something, or someone, it can't be true
Surprising discovery, disbelief in what is seen.
As time fly by, I'm aiming at you
Focusing on the target, possibly an emotional confrontation.
I think of days gone by that were so good
Revisiting positive memories while in a tense situation.
I pull the trigger and now, I am falling apart
Anxiety and emotional turmoil leading to a drastic decision.
Because I killed you last night in the dark
Revelation of a regretful action taken in the past.
As time fly by, I'm aiming at you
Continued emotional struggle and conflict.
I think of days gone by that were so good
Repetition of memories and the haunting consequences.
I pull the trigger and now, I am falling apart
Reiteration of the emotional aftermath of a regrettable act.
Because I killed you last night in the dark
Confirmation of the irreversible impact of the previous night's actions.
In the dark
Emphasizing the setting where the regrettable event occurred.
Killed you in the dark
Stating the act of causing harm in a concealed environment.
Killed you in the dark
Repetition and emphasis on the dark setting of the regrettable act.
