"Darkness Falls create a dramatic atmospheric sound combining distorted twang guitars, haunting synths, gritty drums and striking vocals. Pop allure turns into noise only to revert back into harmony. Enticing lyrics collide with a drone like base, romance crashes into reality and hope and regret are equal on the scale. The tempo shifts, from sorrow to action, the girls are at the wheel and there is no rest for the wicked.
The sound of Darkness Falls is not easily pinned down, traditional rock influences merge with contemporary arrangements, creating a dynamic and varied soundscape. You can revisit Darkness Falls many times and return with different impressions each time. Darkness Falls and you turn to your imagination.
Josephine Phillip received international critical acclaim for her pop joint, JaConfetti, together with Ane Trolle.

Ina Lindgreen has played with numerous bands for the past decade, among them the all girl ska band Favelachic, where she met Philip. "
100 Meter Mind Dash
Darkness Falls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look ahead and tell a struggle, don't wanna miss
I don't think take another round of this
I'm swimmin' like a fish in a bowl
Go round and round... go round and round
A 100 meter mind dash, a knife slash on the vein
A 100 meter mind dash, like hiding from the slain
Oh yeah...
Or can I not compete, in my opinion miss my soul
I don't think I can take another round of this
I'm swimmin' like a fish in a bowl
A 100 meter mind dash, a knife slash on the vein
A 100 meter mind dash, like hiding from the slain
The lyrics to Darkness Falls's "100 Meter Mind Dash" are reflective of the feeling of being stuck in a never-ending cycle or routine. The opening lines of "the point of no return, that's all there is" set a tone of inevitability, as if there is no way out or no other path to take. The phrase "100 Meter Mind Dash" could be interpreted as a metaphor for a race or competition, perhaps representing the pressure to constantly perform and keep up with others in modern society. The line "I'm swimmin' like a fish in a bowl" further emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and going round in circles.
The lyrics suggest a sense of fatigue or exhaustion, with the repetition of "I don't think I can take another round of this." The knife slash on the vein and hiding from the slain may be interpreted as symbols of mental anguish or struggles, possibly alluding to depression or anxiety.

The "100 Meter Mind Dash" may serve as a reminder for individuals to slow down, prioritize self-care, and break out of the cycle of constantly pushing oneself beyond what is sustainable.
