"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. Philip has written and preformed with several acts, the latest being a track from the forthcoming Trentemøller album. Ina Lindgreen has played with numerous bands for the past decade, among them the all girl ska band Favelachic, where she met Philip. "

Darkness Falls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ran to the lake to get a better space
Breath in really fast and go
and don’t be late
I need a time line now
Because I run for the race
Breath in really fast and go
and don’t be late

Ahh
Ahhh

The sun hits me in my eyes
I’m blind all over again
I need to go and take a break
But I feel kind of vain
Because I’m on time line now
and I run for the race
Breath in really fast and go
and don’t be late

I always run when I’m not supposed to
I always fall when I suppress what I should do
I always run when I’m not supposed to
I always fall when I suppress what I should do

I always run when I’m not supposed to
I always fall when I suppress what I should do

I always run when I’m not supposed to
I always fall when I suppress what I should do

Overall Meaning

The song "Timeline" by Darkness Falls depicts a person's race against time to achieve their goals. The lyrics describe someone who is determined to succeed, urging themselves to keep going regardless of the obstacles in their way. They run to the lake to escape the stresses of life and catch a breath, in order to continue their pursuit with renewed energy. The sun hits them in their eyes and temporarily blinds them, but they refuse to succumb to defeat. They acknowledge their need for a break, but feel a sense of guilt for taking one because they are on a strict timeline - perhaps one imposed by themselves or society.

The repetition of the lines "I always run when I'm not supposed to, I always fall when I suppress what I should do" provides insight into the psyche of the singer, revealing a pattern of self-sabotage and insecurity. Despite their drive to succeed, they are constantly second-guessing their decisions and actions, leading to a vicious cycle of running towards their goals but ultimately falling short.

Overall, "Timeline" is a reflective and introspective song about the challenges of achieving success and the pressure we put on ourselves to meet societal deadlines.

Line by Line Meaning

I ran to the lake to get a better space
I hurriedly went to the lake to secure a better position

Breath in really fast and go and don’t be late
Take a deep breath and rush without delay

I need a time line now Because I run for the race
I require a clear sequence of events as I compete

The sun hits me in my eyes I’m blind all over again
The sun's glare temporarily blinds me

I need to go and take a break But I feel kind of vain
Although I require rest, I feel guilty about it

Because I’m on time line now and I run for the race
I am obligated to complete the race on schedule

I always run when I’m not supposed to I always fall when I suppress what I should do
I tend to disobey rules and suffer the consequences
