Foregone
Darkher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who stole the night from day
As the seers were washed away
God feared in whos arms i′m sleeping
And when the storm it came
And the light was vanishing
Grew cold until there was no feeling
It's foregone
All foregone
The River′s rising
Be still until the dawn
As the darkness shades you from
And dream of when the sky was bleeding
Be not the fallen wings
Be not the withering
Don't fear anybody's listening
It′s foregone
All foregone
The River′s rising
It's foregone




All foregone
The Wind is crying

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darkher's song "Foregone" depict a sense of loss and foreboding. The opening line, "Who stole the night from day," speaks to a disruption or theft of balance and harmony. The following line, "As the seers were washed away," implies that those with foresight or wisdom have been taken or eliminated. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the loss of insight or intuition in a world that is increasingly disconnected from its natural rhythms and spiritual guidance.


The mention of God fearing in whose arms the singer is sleeping suggests a surrender to a higher power or seeking protection in the face of chaos. However, as the storm comes and the light fades, the singer describes growing cold until there is no feeling left. This could represent a sense of numbness or detachment from the world, possibly a result of the overwhelming darkness and uncertainty.


The chorus repeats the phrase "It's foregone, all foregone," emphasizing the inevitability and irreversible nature of the events unfolding. The rising river and crying wind further amplify the looming danger and desperation in the atmosphere. The final lines encourage the listener to not lose hope, to resist becoming fallen and withered, and to find solace in the memory of a time when the sky bled, perhaps symbolizing a time of passion, intensity, or emotional depth that has been lost.


Overall, "Foregone" is a haunting reflection on the erosion of stability, inner turmoil, and the search for resilience and meaning in a world that seems to be slipping away.
