Darker My Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are all the seasons not for good?
Why can I feel if I should?

It's comin' down
I'm comin' down to run from a lie

Why can't answer questions that I bring?
Why mere loyals leave us in the sea?





It's comin' down
It's comin' down to run from a lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Opening" by Darker My Love speak to a sense of confusion and bewilderment in the face of life's uncertainties. The first two lines invite contemplation of the paradox that not all seasons can be good, despite being a natural aspect of life. The next two lines express a sense of intuition - the singer has an inner sense that something is not quite right, and they are looking for a way to escape from a lie. The repetition of "comin' down" adds to the feeling of tension and being trapped, as if the singer is descending into darkness despite their best efforts.


The second verse begins with another question, this time about the limitations of knowledge and understanding. Despite asking questions that they can't answer, the singer seems to have a sense of duty or responsibility to seek out the answers regardless. They then express frustration about the fickleness of friendship, wondering why some people are loyal while others abandon them. The repetition of "It's comin' down" at the end of the verse creates a sense of inevitability, as if the singer is being pulled towards an unknown outcome.


Overall, the lyrics in "Opening" convey a sense of existential dread and confusion, as well as a feeling of being trapped in a situation that is beyond your control. The repetition of certain phrases and the use of rhetorical questions creates a hypnotic effect that draws the listener in and encourages them to reflect on their own experiences of uncertainty and confusion.

One of my DML favorites. Wraps itself around my head like a cobra of suffocating sound.

A friend picked me up the other day and this album was playing in his truck. It was my introduction to Darker My Love. He's a good friend, has been for many years, and for a plethora of reasons...this is yet another.

These dudes definitely have something going on here 'cept, imho, they blew it on their third album...went in a totally different direction. I hope they return to form on their fourth.

totally agree. strange enough, allmusicguide rate that as the pick, lol. the 2nd album is awesome, haven't heard this one, like what I hear so far. amg said the sound changed due to a member leaving and the father of one of them passing. even for the sound they are going for I didn't like it
