Dark Dark Dark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under the tree, we sat till sunrise
Hoping that we would never part
Holding your hand, I looked in your eyes
Knowing that I would break your heart

I know, I know it's all my fault
Be still, be still my broken heart
I know, we never should have part
And now, I'll never have a chance

Beside the tree, I gaze upon it
Leafless and still beneath the moon
Violently ill, I lay around it
Hoping the pain will be over soon

I know, I know it's all my fault
Be still, be still my broken heart




I know, we never should have part
And now, I'll never have a chance

Line by Line Meaning

Can't you see the world's last sunrise
Realize the end of the world is imminent


Can't you see the tears in my eyes
I am grieving the destruction of the world


Can't you see the bloodred sunrise
The sunrise is indicative of the destruction of nature


If life is a dream be afraid to wake up
Life may be easier to live in ignorance


You would wish to sleep again
If you were to wake up, you would be unhappy


Shameful destruction of natural beauty
The world's natural beauty is being destroyed


Senseless exploitation - reasons for dying
The reckless use of natural resources is leading to the world's end


What will you breathe
There will be no clean air left


When all trees are dead
Losing all trees is a tragedy


Where will you go
There will be no ideal place to be


When our world is black
The end means darkness


Clear the wounds,
Fix the damage


The earth is suffering from
The planet is hurt


Even when you can't renew
Even though you can't bring back extinct species


What you once destroyed
To what you annihilated


So tear out this poisoned thorn
Stop damaging the world


And ease the pain you caused
Restore what you ruined


Stop to torture the nature
Stop ruining nature


Oh can't you see the bloodred sunrise
The bloody sunrise is a warning


Oh can't you see the fear in my eyes
I fear for the future


I cannot understand
I can't comprehend


What you've done to the world
How you destroyed everything is inexplicable


Why you've done this to our world
What was the purpose of all this destruction?


If you don't change your point of view
If you fail to alter the way you think


Judgement day will be
The end will come


Just a question of time
Only a matter of time
