Dark The Suns was founded as Mikko's solo project in 2005 in Valkeakoski. The first demo, The Sleeping Beauty, was recorded later that year and it was demo of the month in Inferno-Magazine #34. In the beginning of 2006 Dark The Suns settled to Jyväskylä and Mikko's one-man project grew to a full band when Juha, Markus and Inka joined Dark The Suns.
In August 2006 Dark The Suns entered studio for their second demo and soon in the end of October 2006, Dark The Suns was signed to Firebox Records for two albums. Their debut album, In Darkness Comes Beauty, was released in autumn 2007. Followed by All Ends in Silence released in 2009 and Sleepwalking in a Nightmare a year later.
An official announcement was made in early 2013 saying that the band is no longer active.
After almost 10 years of hiatus the band released a teaser for the upcoming single "Suru Raivosi Sydämeni Pimeydessä" which is set to be released on May 21st 2020 by Inverse Records. This is the first single from the upcoming fourth album which is set to be released later in 2020.
Sleepless Angels
Dark the Suns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this beauty the world seems to sleep
The sleepless angels,
they sing their songs, the songs of sorrow
like birds in the end
In the sleepless nights
Beneath the thousands stars
I don’t want to be alone
I’m still awake, listening the night...
Don’t want to be...
no more alone
The sleepless angels,
I hear them sing the songs of grief,
the songs of the end
The lyrics to Dark the Suns's song Sleepless Angels paint a melancholic picture of a world in quietness and slumber as darkness falls, but with the presence of restless, sleepless angels who sing songs of sorrow and grief. The singer, alone and awake in these silent nights, doesn't want to be alone anymore and longs for companionship. The sleepless angels are likened to birds, singing their mournful songs as if heralding the end of something.
The theme of loneliness and the desire for connection is a common one in music, and Sleepless Angels is no exception. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation and desperation, with the singer reaching out to the ethereal presence of the sleepless angels for comfort. The use of birds as a metaphor is interesting, as birds are often associated with freedom and flight, yet here they are used to convey a sense of sadness and finality.
Overall, Sleepless Angels is a somber and reflective song that speaks to the universal human experience of loneliness and the search for meaning and connection in a seemingly indifferent world.
