Deafcult Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

even though you are alone,
Darkness lies awake for you
and sees you through until dawn
begins to shine.
Even though you are afraid,
Morning comes to save you and sees
you through
until fear begins again
we all count for days.
we shout all for nights
and when you fall asleep
we dance, dance, dance




in your dreams until the
dawn begins to shine

Overall Meaning

Despite being alone, the darkness remains active for you, seeing you through the night until the dawn begins to shine. Even in moments of fear and doubt, morning comes to save and protect you until the cycle begins again. The line "we all count for days" emphasizes the feeling of monotony and repetition that can come with being alone and the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of darkness and fear.


The chorus provides an interesting contrast to the verses. While the night may be full of shouting and fear, when the person falls asleep, the darkness is replaced by dreams filled with dancing. The line "we dance, dance, dance in your dreams until the dawn begins to shine" provides a sense of hope and redemption, even in the darkest moments.


Overall, AKIRA by Deafcult provides a poignant reflection on the reality of loneliness and the repetitive cycle of darkness and fear that can come with it. However, it also offers a glimmer of hope and redemption through the release of dreams and the light of dawn.


Line by Line Meaning

even though you are alone,
Although you may feel isolated and solitary,


Darkness lies awake for you
The darkness seems to taunt and haunt you


and sees you through until dawn
But it stays with you until morning comes


begins to shine.
And the light starts to shine in the sky


Even though you are afraid,
Even though fear grips your heart


Morning comes to save you and sees
The arrival of daylight gives you hope and sees


you through
You through your fear and anxiety


until fear begins again
Until the next wave of fear hits you once more


we all count for days.
We all wait and count the passing of time


we shout all for nights
We scream and cry out during the long nights


and when you fall asleep
And when you finally doze off


we dance, dance, dance
We celebrate and revel in joy


in your dreams until the
In your dreamworld until the


dawn begins to shine
Sunrise brings us all back to reality
