Ballad Of Black And White
Darlia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come fly with me
Come fly with me 'cos I'm ready
We'll fly away
We'll fly away
We'll fly away 'cos I'm ready
And I dare you
And I dare you
And I dare you
To come fly with me
We'll fly away
I dare you
Nine nine nine as I pray to my enemies
Nine nine nine as I pray to somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Rise like a feather
The shady ache is automatic over me
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away
You look a little worse for wear
I don't mind, I don't care
All I ever had was a little written fairy tale
I don't cry, I don't tear
I told a lie again
Nine nine nine as I pray to somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Sp rise like a feather
The shady ache is automatic over me
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Found your way around
But lost yourself again
She said you've gotta go away
But it's not up to me
Wings aren't things you need to test again
She asked me "why why why?"
So I said "Nine nine nine" and I prayed to somebody
Somebody
Somebody
Anybody?
Rise like a feather
The shady ache is automatic over me
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away
The lyrics to "Ballad Of Black And White" by Darlia suggest a desire to escape reality and take flight. The repetition of "come fly with me" emphasizes a yearning for something more or for a different experience. The chorus, "we'll fly away 'cause I'm ready," conveys an urgency in wanting to depart from the current situation. The dares in the song, "and I dare you" and "I dare you," could represent a challenge to take a chance and try something new, go on an adventure, or even take risks in life.
The section that repeats "nine nine nine as I pray to somebody" is interesting and could have several interpretations. In numerology, 999 represents the end of a cycle and the start of a new one. It could suggest a need for change or signal that something significant is coming to an end. The repeated use of "somebody" could represent a longing for guidance or answers. The line "all I ever had was a little written fairy tale" might indicate a dissatisfaction with reality and a yearning for something more fantastical.
The repeated use of "rise like a feather" is a powerful image that could symbolize overcoming obstacles or pain. The "shady ache" that is "automatic over me" suggests a persistent discomfort or emotional pain. The line "found your way around but lost yourself again" could mean that despite trying to navigate through life, one can still feel lost and uncertain. The song ends with a plea for guidance with the repeated question "Somebody? Anybody?" Overall, the song paints a picture of the desire to take flight and escape pain or dissatisfaction with life.

Come fly with me
Join me on a journey
We'll fly away
We'll leave our troubles behind
And I dare you
I challenge you
To come fly with me
To come with me
Nine nine nine as I pray to my enemies
I pray for those who oppose me
Rise like a feather
Rise effortlessly
The shady ache is automatic over me
I feel pain without knowing why
Until it goes away
Until the pain subsides
You look a little worse for wear
You don't look your best
I don't mind, I don't care
Your appearance doesn't matter to me
All I ever had was a little written fairy tale
I only had a dream
I don't cry, I don't tear
I'm resilient
I told a lie again
I deceived once more
Found your way around
You figured things out
But lost yourself again
But you're lost once more
She said you've gotta go away
She said you have to leave
But it's not up to me
I have no control over the situation
Wings aren't things you need to test again
Don't doubt yourself
She asked me "why why why?"
She asked me why
Anybody?
Is anyone listening?

I made this because I love Darlia like you guys who've watched this do also and when I tried to search up the lyrics on the inter-webs, there were none. So for you guys I'll try my best to listen in on what they're saying.

Night (x3)
It's a place to my enemies
Night (x3)
It's a place to sing our love
Sing our love (x3)
Rise like a feather
Shake inside I might become a myth
So rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)
You look a little worse for worse
And I don't mind I don't care
All I ever had was a little ripped in hotel
I don't cry I don't tell
I told a lie again
Night (x3)
It's a place to sing our love
Sing our love (x2)
So rise like a feather
Shake inside I mgiht become a myth
So rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)
So rise like a feather
Till it goes away
Find your way round and loose yourself again
She you gotta go away
But it's not up to me
These are thing that I need to test again
She asked me why why why
So I said night night night
And I prayed to sing my way
Sing my way (x2)
(Tell no body)
Rise like a feather
Shake inside I might become a myth
Rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)
So rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)

Wings aren't things you need to test again
She asked me "why why why?"
So I said "Nine nine nine" and I prayed to somebody
