Twilight
Dag Savage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the twilight is gone
When the twilight is gone, is gone
And no sunbirds are singing
Lord pray
When the twilight is gone
When the twilight is gone
Yo, the flow hold like the saban ackle
Let the magic grab you, send my magic at you
Send my clackers at you, snatch a niggas album sample
Im like fade out wit the flow, my niggas had to grapple
Too much coke was getting sold, my niggas had to smack you
From the soul dettach you, cause your heart is caved
We just sent from gold, now we bought the slaves
You can see the bullets graze up our fathers grave
Time is ticking motherf*cker, we in our final days
We in our final maze, time to strategize
Way deeper than the books that you analyze
Way deeper than the crooks that you glamorize
Its real life, we aint got no time to fantasize
To every man alive, lets set the foundation
Angels fall from the sky to surround satan
On a search for my soul that was found waiting
While the twilight is gone and the ground was shaking
When the twilight is gone
Yeah yet though I walk through the valey of the shadow of death
I use the lord as my guide and to shadow my steps
Yeah yet though I walk through the valey of the shadow of death
I press record as thy god is to chanel my breath
Yeah, wanna talk about a revolution?
First of all, lets talk tuki and his execution
Make a life, take a life, is that the real solution
And its worst for a black child
Its either rob or hit the block with a crack foul
And in the hood, thats like operation smackdown
Look around man, you hardly see a crack smile
And record labels want sex and violence
They turn around call us hoes like we don ...
Its kamikaze in the sky but they all pilots
Keep waiting by the water so allah will find us
Spend 5 million for a campaign
But cant find a cure for aids cause its man made
So people tell me what you waiting for
Cause first they hate, then they love you, then they hate you more
When the twilight is gone
Yeah yet though I walk through the valey of the shadow of death
I use the lord as my guide and to shadow my steps




Yeah yet though I walk through the valey of the shadow of death
I press record as thy god is to chanel my breath.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dag Savage's song "Twilight" reflect a sense of urgency and a call to action for individuals to take concrete steps towards creating a better society. The reference to twilight, a time of transition between day and night, implies that the current moment is a critical juncture that requires immediate attention. The opening lines, "When the twilight is gone, is gone, and no sunbirds are singing, Lord pray," creates a sense of foreboding, a bleak picture of the world deprived of light and sound, urging the listener to act before it's too late.


The lyrics then shift to a more personal narrative, with the rapper reflecting on his life experiences and the struggles he's faced in his community. He uses vivid metaphors such as "let the magic grab you" and "send my clackers at you," to express the power and strength of his words. The lyrics also address the issue of violence, poverty, and systemic oppression, with lines such as "we just sent from gold, now we bought the slaves" and "its either rob or hit the block with a crack foul."


Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a more spiritual and hopeful tone, calling for revolution and a better vision for the future. The repetitive chorus of "yeah, yet though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I use the lord as my guide and to shadow my steps," is a reference to the biblical verse of Psalm 23, which affirms faith in God's protection and guidance. The lyrics serve as a powerful call to action, urging individuals to take concrete steps towards creating a better society and standing up against injustice.
