Darkness Settles In
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics

Another sun sets down behind me, another day comes crashing in
The day is ending and a new one is starting, but with it comes a sense of chaos and uncertainty.

There's a whispering wind that's blowing, there's a storm that's closing in
The singer senses impending danger, as if a storm is approaching and chaos is about to be unleashed.

I can hear the trains they're rolling to a place I've never been
The singer is aware of the journey that others are taking, but they feel lost and disconnected from where they are headed.

And I can feel her breath beside me with an empty glass of gin
Despite being physically near someone, the singer feels alone, as if they are drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

As the darkness settles in, I can hear her voice again
The singer feels a sense of nostalgia and pain as the darkness envelops them, and they hear the voice of someone they miss.

Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
The singer feels helpless and abandoned, as if they are reaching out for help but no one is there to provide it.

Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
The singer wants to break free from their current situation, but they feel stuck and unable to make a change.

I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
The singer is trying to break free from their problems, but even their efforts seem futile and change is slow or nonexistent.

Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun
The singer wants their pain and struggles to end, but even in moments of hope or clarity, they are overwhelmed and cannot find their way forward.

All the ghosts that live inside me always waiting in the wind
The singer is haunted by their past and the struggles they've faced, and these ghosts continue to haunt them and leave them feeling lost or alone.

I can see through my reflection, what I've become and what I've been
The singer sees themselves in a negative light, and is able to see how their past experiences have shaped them, sometimes in ways that they don't like or understand.

You see, your Heaven doesn't want me and your Hell won't let me in
The singer feels like they don't belong or fit in anywhere, as even heaven and hell reject them.

It's like I'm holding all the aces but I know I'll never win
Despite feeling like they have an advantage or opportunity, the singer cannot seem to succeed or triumph over their struggles.

Taking up space, lost and I'm found
The singer feels like they are simply going through the motions of life, without purpose or direction, but they hold onto hope that they will eventually find their way.

I can hear the snakes they're winding, singing songs of pain and sin
The singer feels like they're surrounded by negativity and darkness, as if their struggles are amplified by those around them.

There's an anger overflowing from this empty glass of gin
The singer feels an overwhelming sense of anger and resentment, as if they are trying to drown their sorrows but cannot escape the pain.

(You can take it away) And the darkness settled in
The singer is calling out for help or relief from their struggles, but even as they call out, the darkness continues to consume them.
