Darkness Falls
Kraków Loves Adana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darkness at the edge of town
Follows when you're not around
Park that car, drop your phone
Make some memories on your own

Darkness falls wherever I go
Embraces me and says hello
Cause you have left a while ago
Remembered me to take it slow

Parked my car, dropped that phone
Made some memories on my own
Standing right next to you
Pretending that I don't know you

Darkness taught me to be alone
Gave me comfort in the unknown
Cause you have left a while ago
Remembered me to take it slow

Parked my car, dropped that phone
Made some memories on my own
Standing right next to you
Pretending that I don't know you

And you don't ever wanna come back home
A home you traded for a thunderstorm
It's in your bones

And you don't ever wanna trust your heart
A heart you traded for a taste of blood
Without a thought




With no room left to hide
Oh it messes with your mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kraków Loves Adana's song "Darkness Falls" discuss the feeling of being alone and the acceptance and comfort that comes with it. The repeated line of "Darkness falls wherever I go" represents how the feeling of loneliness is always present, but it is something that one can learn to embrace and use as a source of strength. The opening lines of "Darkness at the edge of town / Follows when you're not around" signifies the feeling of being left behind and the loneliness that comes with it.


The next lines, "Park that car, drop your phone / Make some memories on your own" suggest that the best way to combat loneliness is to create your own memories and experiences. The chorus lines "Cause you have left a while ago / Remembered me to take it slow" means that although the person may have left, their absence has taught the singer to slow down and appreciate life. The following verse, "Standing right next to you / Pretending that I don't know you" suggests that the singer is close to someone, but still feels alone and disconnected from them.


The verse "Darkness taught me to be alone / Gave me comfort in the unknown" signifies that the feeling of loneliness can be comforting and teach one to be self-reliant. The bridge "And you don't ever wanna come back home / A home you traded for a thunderstorm / It's in your bones" indicates that the person has left a comfortable home behind for something more turbulent and exciting, but they cannot forget the feeling of home. The final lines "And you don't ever wanna trust your heart / A heart you traded for a taste of blood / Without a thought / With no room left to hide / Oh it messes with your mind" reveals the inner turmoil of the person and how they have made choices that have left them feeling lost and unsure about themselves.
