Darkness
Lacrimosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
one word - and gone
to stay - i will
believe and pray
to see - to feel
to hear - to be and gone
how can i get close to you?
beauty can't be seen but only kissed
i have so much love to give
but where are you and how to be reached?
can i talk - can i speak?
and can i lay my head on you?
can i choose and can i say
i love you?
darkness surrounding me
my head hangs low
your arms are far
your breath takes me
besides - i am in love
i'm loving you - but you
so far from me - i'm holding out
your words - your face - your breath
your touch - your heart should cover me
but all you do is watching me
so i dismiss the grace of you
and far beyond the darkness grows
which leads me back to all my roots
the longing and the pain
in darkness and disgrace
beauty can't be seen but only kissed
i have so much love to give
but where are you and how to be reached?
The song "Darkness" by Lacrimosa is a melancholic ballad about the longing for love and the pain of being unable to connect with the object of one's affection. The lyrics speak of a deep desire to be close to someone, to see them, feel them, and hear them. However, the singer is unable to reach the one they love, and they are left alone in the darkness of their own emotions.
The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation as the singer asks if they can talk and speak, lay their head on their loved one's shoulder, and express their love. They are looking for reassurance that they are loved in return but are met with silence, which only adds to their despair.
The song's chorus speaks of the beauty that can only be felt through touch, and the singer has so much love to give, but they cannot find anyone to give it to. They are left standing in the darkness, with no light to guide them.
Overall, "Darkness" is a powerful expression of the pain of unrequited love and the despair that comes with the inability to connect with someone you deeply care for.

Saben? después de estar escuchando por más de 13 años esta canción, al principio, se dedicaba a un amor, ahora después teniendo 30 años.. me la dedico a mi misma.. "donde estas? para alcanzarte?" mi yo sin depresión diría eso. Vueltas da la vida.-
