A Darkness to Drown In
Dark the Suns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Into the night we drown with Sun
The blaze of light is dying down
There are no birds to sing our songs

Sleep with me, see a dream
In this darkness we may stay
Far away from this world
These are silent goodbyes

Into the night I drown with Sun




Deep in the shades, fallen from light
I close my eyes to see you near

Overall Meaning

The verses paint a picture of darkness and despair. The singer is drowning, using the word as a metaphor for succumbing to the night, as the sun sets and light fades away. The line "There are no birds to sing our songs" gives a sense of emptiness and loneliness. It's as if the singer is looking for comfort, but finding none. The second verse continues with the theme of darkness, as the singer urges someone to "sleep with me, see a dream" - suggesting that dreams are one of the few ways to escape the bleakness of reality. The phrase "Far away from this world" is striking, as it implies a desire to escape not just the night but the entire world. The song ends on a poignant note with the line "I close my eyes to see you near," suggesting that the only solace to be found is in imagination.


Overall, the song is a meditation on loneliness, despair, and the need for escape. The lyrics are simple but effective in conveying a sense of darkness and hopelessness.


Line by Line Meaning

Into the night we drown with Sun
We descend into darkness with the fading light of the day.


The blaze of light is dying down
The brightness of the day is fading away into the night.


There are no birds to sing our songs
In this dark and quiet place, there are no birds to serenade us with their songs.


Sleep with me, see a dream
Lay with me and let us dream together in this surreal darkness.


In this darkness we may stay
Let us remain in this obscure place for a while to escape the world.


Far away from this world
We seek refuge from the chaos of the world in this dark realm.


These are silent goodbyes
Without words, we bid farewell to the day and welcome the night.


Into the night I drown with Sun
Once again, I enter the darkness as the sun sets.


Deep in the shades, fallen from light
I am submerged in the shadows, removed from the brightness of the day.


I close my eyes to see you near
I shut my eyes, envisioning your presence in this lonely darkness.
