Darkest Hour
Charlotte OC Lyrics

It wasn't meant to be like this
This situation was not what was intended or expected.

A life for someone else
Living a life that is not truly your own or does not align with your desires and passions.

There's a road to the righteous That doesn't lead through hell
There are ways to live a good and moral life that do not involve suffering or torment.

There's a drop on your eyelid That stays just for him
A tear that is shed in secret or for someone who will never know.

There's a scream in your silence That doesn't let anyone in
A pain or inner turmoil that is hidden from others, preventing them from offering support or understanding.

Now you don't understand why you stayed As you wake in the coffin he made you You're a stone that's been thrown in the lake Now you sink in, it sinks in
Realizing you have been trapped in a situation or relationship that is suffocating and has led to your demise.

In the top of the tower The devil he waits, the devil he waits for you
A metaphor for feeling trapped or powerless, with evil or negative forces looming over you.

In the darkest of hours We pray, pray for you I know you've been locked up there With no hope anywhere
A plea for redemption or salvation in times of extreme hardship, feeling lost or alone with no sign of relief.

Now you lay in the ashes Of the house you built Out of old books and matches But you lay there still
The feeling of failure or regret, when your efforts to build something meaningful have crumbled and left you feeling empty.

In the town of black magic And they're out to kill Here's my heart, you can have it And you always will
A sense of danger or being threatened by dark or unknown forces, yet remaining vulnerable and open to love and connection.

But go open your way
Encouragement to break free of limiting or harmful situations, and seek your own path to fulfillment and happiness.
