Into the Dark
Gramary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no way I can break these walls
Yes I've whispered to my shadow
It's face smiles to my ruin
With drops of blood I fall
In the shades of beauty I crawl
In timeless shape of dark
It's quiet so I can hear myself bleed
The surface is rising
This silence is haunting me
As my whispers run through my head
I can't escape into my thoughts
The pain brings me back to my death
I will breathe my poison
And with every drop I die
And so darkness tests me
With it's every whisper
Blackness fills my chamber
I inhale my cold blood
I will vanish in darkness
Behind these stone walls I've built
I will fade into my whispers
Drown in my blood
Buried in the ashes of life
Forever in the darkness of mine
Called from the dead of the night
Spat to the stream of death
Chains break my arms as black room is filled with blood
The cold whispering thought I can feel it suffocating my lungs
Blood deepens this silence
Before this night is done
I shall be forgotten
In the dark
Let this life be gone now
Let me follow my whispers
Into the dark
The lyrics of Gramary's song "Into the Dark" convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The imagery painted is one that suggests the singer is in a deep state of depression, where they feel like there is no way out. The first verse reveals that everything is dark and the singer's body is filled with scars. They feel trapped, and there is no way they can break the walls that are surrounding them. They have whispered to their shadow, but it seems that even that gives them no comfort.
The second verse reveals that the singer has cut themselves several times, and they keep doing it repeatedly. They can hear themselves bleeding and feel the surface rising. They are haunted by the silence around them, and their whispers run through their head, leaving them feeling like they can't escape their thoughts. The pain they feel is bringing them back to death, and they will breathe their poison until they die.
The chorus reveals that the darkness is testing them, and it's filling their chamber, making them inhale their cold blood. They will vanish eventually behind the stone walls they've built, and they will fade into their whispers and drown in their blood, buried in the ashes of life. They will follow their whispers into the darkness and let this life be gone.
