Dark Times
BottleKids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Police outside the door and all the neighbours know
(Yeah yeah yeah) I've been so misunderstood
Haven't felt this jaded since that day in Underwood
(Yeah yeah yeah) I'm not feeling like I should
Haven't felt this jaded since that day in Underwood
So bored of everything, so high that you can't see
24/7 411 on the TV
Haven't felt this jaded since that day in Underwood
(Yeah yeah yeah) I'm not feeling like I should
Haven't felt this jaded since that day in Underwood
The lyrics of BottleKids's song "Dark Times" convey a sense of desolation, disillusionment, and despair. The first line, "Can't see the floor for broken radios", suggests that the singer's world is cluttered with broken and useless things, perhaps symbolizing a broken life. The second line, "Police outside the door and all the neighbours know", implies that the singer is in trouble with the law and has lost the support and respect of those around them. The repeated lines of "Yeah yeah yeah" emphasize the singer's sense of being misunderstood and unheard.
The third and fourth lines, "Haven't felt this jaded since that day in Underwood", reveal that the singer is plagued by a sense of exhaustion and disappointment, perhaps related to a past traumatic event. The fifth and sixth lines, "So bored of everything, so high that you can't see", suggest that the singer has turned to drugs or other substances to numb their pain and escape reality. The seventh and eighth lines, "24/7 411 on the TV", suggest that the only source of information or entertainment in the singer's life is the television.
