Dark Room
Foreign Figures Lyrics

There is no knowing
The singer acknowledges that they don't have full understanding of the situation

No showing
There is no clear indication of what is happening

Your fragile side
The vulnerable part of the singer is at risk

Want to be perfect
The artist desires to have no flaws

Untouchable like the sky
They want to be immune to criticism (like the sky is unattainable and untouchable)

It's so misleading
The singer expresses that not everything appears to be as it actually is

Believing
The singer states that they are believing something

That fear inside
The emotion of fear is present within the artist

Don't let the light in
The artist tells themselves to keep their emotions hidden and not let anyone see the true extent of their pain

They'll see in
Others may see through the artist's defenses if they let their guard down

Behind your eyes
The singer's true emotions are hidden inside them

Way down we go
The artist describes the deep emotional descent they are experiencing

To the dark room
The singer is descending into a metaphorical 'dark room' where their emotions will greet them

Where your pain's the only one to greet you
The singer will only find their own emotional torment in this 'dark room'

Down we go
The deep emotional descent continues

To the mind that
The artist describes the emotional state that they are entering

Will deceive you
The artist warns that their own mind may be deceitful and cause them harm

Only out to get you
Emotional pain seems to be the only end result for the singer in this 'dark room'

To the bottom
The singer is reaching the deepest depths of their emotional pain

Now there's only
The artist expresses that they are alone in their pain

Yourself to count on
The artist acknowledges that they must rely on themselves in this moment

Can you get through all the pain inside you?
The artist challenges themselves to overcome the emotional pain they are experiencing

You're stuck replaying
The singer describes the cyclical nature of their thoughts and emotions

And gaining traumatic times
The artist is experiencing new traumatic events in addition to reliving old ones

Want to be stronger
The singer expresses a desire to be emotionally stronger

The story of your whole life
The singer implies that their life is full of the same emotional pain and trauma

This kind of reckless
The singer acknowledges that the emotional pain they are experiencing is harmful and dangerous

Seems endless
The artist feels that the emotional pain will never end

It comes to fight
Emotional pain is a battle that the artist must fight against

Till you're not breathing
The emotional pain is so intense that it may suffocate the singer and take their breath away

Just bleeding
The singer feels that they are emotionally bleeding out and can't stop the pain
