Darkness
A & A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only light
(Though sometimes the shadows flickered across my view)
Light
But darkness, this cold emptiness
Somehow passed me by
Like a charmed thing I sailed
Slipping through its fingers
Blessed until now
Only now, only now, only now
And I'm beyond recognition
Gone to some small space in silent stillness
Yet something beats anew
Somewhere
I'm waiting to be reborn
Only this time, only this time, only this time
Born in darkness
None can dim my light
None can dim my light
The lyrics to A & A's song "Darkness" speak about the experience of coming face to face with darkness, and the realization that it is an inevitable part of life. The singer acknowledges that they had only been able to see the light before, even though shadows occasionally played at the edges of their vision. They had been living a blessed life, free from the grip of darkness. However, they have since come to recognize the cold emptiness that darkness brings.
The second half of the song speaks to the singer's transformation after coming into contact with the darkness. They describe a feeling of disappearing into a small, still space, but also the knowledge that something new is being born within them. This time, they are being born into darkness, and they know that their light cannot be dimmed by it. The singer has a new, deeper understanding of life, and they seem ready to face whatever comes their way.
Overall, "Darkness" seems to capture a moment of awakening. The singer has reached a turning point, having come to terms with something that they may have been avoiding for a long time. They are now recognizing that darkness is a natural part of life, but that it cannot overpower the light that burns within them.

Lyrics
End my life, tell the reaper Iām sorry
Suicidal thoughts in my head still haunt me
Wroteā theā f*ckinā note, Iā read it back and then Iā trashed it
I donāt wanna be depressed, itās
just a f*ckinā habit
Got tattoos on my arms, so I
canāt cut
Barely even stand my f*ckinā
self, so I canāt love
Cut off all my friends, they ask me why Iām so heartless
I turn around and ask them why
they leave me in the darkness
End my life, tell the reaper Iām sorry
Suicidal thoughts in my head
still haunt me
Wrote the f*ckinā note, I read it back and then I trashed it
I donāt wanna be depressed, itās just a f*ckinā habit
Heart breaks every time I see her face now
Flipped this sh*t myself and now itās at a million plays, wow
Failing all my classes, teachers saw waste of potential
Couldāve been a doctor, but the music more essential
I remember all the days when I couldnāt feel my best
Now Iām fillinā up the bank cause I made it off of rap
But the sadness never changed, it donāt matter what I have
Itāll never go away, itāll never go away
When I fall asleep sometimes, Iām scared Iāll never wake up
When I fall asleep sometimes, Iāll pray I never wake up
End my life, tell the reaper Iām sorry
Suicidal thoughts in my head still haunt me
Wrote the f*ckinā note, I read it back and then I trashed it
I donāt wanna be depressed, itās just a f*ckinā habit
Got tattoos on my arms, so I canāt cut
Barely even stand my f*ckinā self, so I canāt love
Cut off all my friends, they ask me why Iām so heartless
I turn around and ask them why they leave me in the darkness
When I fall asleep sometimes,
Iām scared Iāll never wake up
When I fall asleep sometimes, Iāll pray I never wake up

If anyone can spit this, you can use these lyrics, because I wrote this on the spot and I myself can't spit.
End my life, tell the reaper I'm sorry
After all the shit that bitch did, she still want me
But I don't wanna hurt no more, I don't wanna feel no pain
Maybe I should of just put a bullet through my damn brain
I can't fucking cut cuz I don't wanna bleed out
this fucking hell loop, please God I need out
all this hurts and you wonder why I'm heartless
Its all because of you, you should of never left in the darkness
I put a smile on my face so no one sees my depression
I tend to lie a lot so there's no hostile tension
between me and my friends, bro please don't worry
there's officially nothing in this world now that can hurt me
I threw out my heart because all it does is suffer
I can't breathe right now I feel like I'm going under
No one see's the mental shit that I go through
No I'm not super, just sayin, I'm not Goku
I lost all my fight so its time to call it quits man
I got nothing left now why can't you understand, to
End my life, tell the reaper I'm sorry
After all the shit that bitch did, she still want me
But I don't wanna hurt no more, I don't wanna feel no pain
Maybe I should of just put a bullet through my damn brain
I can't fucking cut cuz I don't wanna bleed out
this fucking hell loop, please God I need out
all this hurts and you wonder why I'm heartless
Its all because of you, you should of never left in the darkness
My life is a nightmare, one that's inescapable
My dreams are a false hope and I'm incapable
Of coping like a man dude why does it all suck
I'm off the fuckin rails man I just don't even give a fuck
Fuck my life, fuck my heart, fuck my gotdamn soul too
If you tell me to man up then guess what bro, fuck you
If you could see the shit going on then maybe you'd see why
every day and every night man all I wanna do is fuckin die
but I got you people that I'm thinking of
please let me be and see the man above, and say
End my life, tell the reaper I'm sorry
After all the shit that bitch did, she still want me
But I don't wanna hurt no more, I don't wanna feel no pain
Maybe I should of just put a bullet through my damn brain
I can't fucking cut cuz I don't wanna bleed out
this fucking hell loop, please God I need out
all this hurts and you wonder why I'm heartless
Its all because of you, you should of never left in the darkness
