Black
♫ Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dead ends plain, sadly showed us our ways
Of never asking why
Cast down it was heaven sent and
To the church, no intent to repent on my knees
Just to cry
Where the last painting's gone and all that's left is black
Grey nights he's coming to me and
Some day they'll punish my deeds and they'll find
All the crimes
But then they ask when they gonna see them
Then they gonna ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
We'll I've got mine
At last those coming came and they never looked back
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black
Fooled them hoping to seem
Like a slave of evil but the product of greed and
It's not a mass so be honest with me
We can't afford to ignore that I'm the disease
Practical since we had to be and
When they were old they came back to me and they tried
Oh they tried
And when you follow through and wind up on your back
Looking up at those stars in the sky those white clouds have turned it black

We touched the walls of the city streets and
We explored the streets of the city and
Dead ends plain, sadly showed us our ways
And we found ourselves in despair as we came across deadends
Of never asking why
All without even asking why we were there
Cast down it was heaven sent and
Although it felt like fate had forsaken me
To the church, no intent to repent on my knees
I found myself seeking refuge in the only place that offered solace
Just to cry
A place where I could let out all my emotions and weep
Until you travel to that place you can't come back
Once you experience that feeling, there's no returning back to the way it was
Where the last painting's gone and all that's left is black
Where everything is bleak and the only thing left is darkness
Grey nights he's coming to me and
I feel like I'm being haunted by the memories of those dark nights
Some day they'll punish my deeds and they'll find
I know that one day I'll have to pay for my actions
All the crimes
All the things that I have done wrong
But then they ask when they gonna see them
People always question when they can see the consequences of someone's actions
Then they gonna ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
They'll also ask to understand the emotions and experiences that led to those actions
We'll I've got mine
But I already have my own regrets
At last those coming came and they never looked back
When the opportunity presented itself, they took it without hesitation
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was black
But it seems that the outcome was the same for them - only darkness
Fooled them hoping to seem
I tried to deceive others by pretending to be a follower of evil
Like a slave of evil but the product of greed and
But in reality, I was just motivated by greed
It's not a mass so be honest with me
It's not a collective mistake, so please be truthful with me
We can't afford to ignore that I'm the disease
We have to acknowledge that I am the root of the problem
Practical since we had to be and
We had to be practical in our approach
When they were old they came back to me and they tried
But even though they came back to me, they couldn't fix what I had done
Oh they tried
They tried their best but it wasn't enough
And when you follow through and wind up on your back
And when you pursue your goals and end up failing
Looking up at those stars in the sky those white clouds have turned it black
You realize that even the beautiful things have turned dark and hopeless

I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now.

I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10. Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better.
