The Dark
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fucking creation of dark damnation
This is the power that changes me
In my throat i feel mad suffocation
In my head - dark essence
Can't hear my voice no more
It is the evil faceless
This is a daemon who wants to break out
From my soul that tumbledown
I'm trying to change all somehow
But the evil is stronger now
Get away, get away from me
Fucking creation of dark damnation
This is the power that changes me
In my throat I feel mad suffocation
I feel the end is near
My actions lead to nowhere
The suppression is almost over
BREAKDOWN
I feel the evil
I feel the cold
I see a lot of madness
In my inner world
If I had a little chances
I would take them all
But it's only empty words
No more
The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song "The Dark" depict a sense of desperation and turmoil within the singer. The opening lines, "Get away, get away from me / Fucking creation of dark damnation," express a desire for escape from a negative force or influence that has consumed the singer. This force is described as a powerful entity that has the ability to transform and suffocate the singer's very being.
The following lines, "In my head - dark essence / Can't hear my voice no more / It is the evil faceless / That spreads within your core," suggest that the singer feels overwhelmed and powerless as this darkness takes hold. The "dark essence" has silenced the singer's voice, leaving him unable to express himself. The lyrics also allude to the insidious nature of this darkness, as it infiltrates and spreads within the core of others.
The lyrics continue to explore the internal struggle of the singer, stating, "This is a daemon who wants to break out / From my soul that tumbledown / I'm trying to change all somehow / But the evil is stronger now." The use of the word "daemon" implies a malevolent force within the singer's soul that yearns to escape. Despite the singer's efforts to bring about change, the evil force grows stronger, indicating a feeling of inevitability and powerlessness.
The repetition of the line "Get away, get away from me / Fucking creation of dark damnation / This is the power that changes me / In my throat, I feel mad suffocation" reinforces the singer's overwhelming desire to escape the clutches of this darkness. The sense of suffocation implies that the singer feels trapped and overwhelmed by the influence of this evil force.
In the final stanza, the lyrics take a reflective turn, with the singer expressing a sense of impending doom: "I feel the end is near / My actions lead to nowhere / The suppression is almost over." This suggests that the consequences of the singer's actions, possibly driven by the influence of the dark force, have brought him to the brink of a dire outcome. The breakdown section further emphasizes the singer's feelings of evil, coldness, and madness within his inner world.
The lyrics conclude with a sense of resignation and futility: "If I had a little chances / I would take them all / But it's only empty words / No more." The singer seems to acknowledge that any potential opportunities for change or escape are now beyond his reach. These lines suggest a sense of despair and acceptance of his current state.
In summary, the lyrics of "The Dark" delve into the inner turmoil and struggle of the singer as he grapples with the influence of a dark force that consumes his being. They evoke a sense of desperation, powerlessness, and impending doom, ultimately settling into a state of resignation and acceptance of his seemingly inescapable fate.

Get away, get away from me
Please distance yourself from me
Fucking creation of dark damnation
A curse that brings forth a sinister presence
This is the power that changes me
It possesses the ability to alter my being
In my throat I feel mad suffocation
I experience intense asphyxiation in my throat
In my head - dark essence
Within my mind resides a sinister energy
Can't hear my voice no more
I am unable to hear the sound of my own voice
It is the evil faceless
It is an unseen evil presence
That spreads within your core
It permeates and infects your innermost self
This is a daemon who wants to break out
A malevolent force yearning to escape
From my soul that tumbledown
Originating from my shattered and fragmented soul
I'm trying to change all somehow
I am making efforts to alter everything in some way
But the evil is stronger now
However, the malevolence has grown more powerful
I feel the end is near
I sense that the culmination is approaching
My actions lead to nowhere
My endeavors and choices yield no meaningful results
The suppression is almost over
The state of subjugation is nearly coming to an end
BREAKDOWN
A point of collapse or disintegration
I feel the evil
I am aware of the malevolent presence
I feel the cold
I experience a chilling sensation
I see a lot of madness
I witness a great deal of insanity
In my inner world
Within the depths of my psyche
If I had a little chances
If I were granted a few opportunities
I would take them all
I would seize each and every one
But it's only empty words
Unfortunately, they are mere hollow promises
No more
There are no longer any possibilities

@kicuout
it's pouring
A black sky is falling
It's cold tonight
You gave me your answer
Goodbye
Now I'm all on my own tonight
And when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win
We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
And when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win
We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky
[x4:]
(I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me)
