Darkness
Looptroop Rockers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darkness is my only friend on the run from the boys in blue once again
My city is hostile, its soul sold to the highest bidder, kids burn it with a hot style, it's too cold! Gotta survive the caution fences, motion sensors and now they banned the bums from the benches, is that the kind of world we wanna live in? We change the face of the city or face the consequences, gotta work in the shadows - silhuettes on the pavement. Behind enemy lines is the playpen so when the sun goes down the hoodie goes up! Move carefully to stay most up light footed - watching every single step, silence, all I hear is heartbeats in my chest we've been to places you never knew existed with people you never knew was this gifted
Yes, I remember the writings on the wall that's the only way I can find my way home, not afraid of the dark
Darkness is my only friend on the run from the boys in blue once again
Yes, I remember the writings on the wall that's the only way I can find my way home, not afraid of the dark
Darkness is my only friend on the run from the boys in blue once again
Once again there's sirens, who's firing, who's doing the dying, many lose direction out there no lying a lot of snakes a lot of rats a few lions when the kings of the jungle move unseen some of the kids made a quick bundle of cash i hear 'em speeding down my street know one thing live fast die young, hard facts but who am I to judge my brother I see your situation. It's what we teach you to do so you keep an eye out my brother. Be safe I'm just running the night like you.
In the air tonight, in the air tonight, in the air tonight if you feel it put your hands in the air tonight!
Yes, I remember the writings on the wall that's the only way I can find my way home, not afraid of the dark
Darkness is my only friend on the run from the boys in blue once again
The Looptroop Rockers' song "Darkness" is a portrayal of life in a hostile city where one has to survive the many challenges including being on the run from the police. The lyrics show the artist reminiscing about the familiarity that darkness brings, making it a friend despite the danger it may come with. They describe the hostilities in their city, with the soul of the city being sold to the highest bidder. The challenges include motion sensors, caution fences, and banned benches, among others, making it harder for people to survive. The artist speaks about the need for changes to occur to avoid the consequences of maintaining the status quo. They acknowledge the gifted individuals in the city and how they navigate through the shadows every day.
The artist also talks about the anticipation of the unknown, the electricity, and the confidence that come with moving through the city’s dark corners, experiencing what life has to offer. The song also talks about the loss of direction and the consequences of living in a fast-paced, high-risk city. Despite the challenges, the artist doesn't judge those who engage in dangerous activities, emphasizing the need to stay safe in a world full of uncertainties.

The graffiti on the walls of the city is the only way I can navigate back home through the dark, and I am not scared of the darkness.

I rely on the darkness to hide from law enforcement and it feels like my only ally.

The city is dangerous and unfriendly, corrupted by capitalism and greed. The youth are rebellious and artistic, yet we must be cautious due to security measures and the elimination of homeless people. We must decide whether to take action and change the city or face the consequences. We move carefully in the shadows, staying quiet and alert, always aware of our surroundings. At night, we wear our hoods and tread softly, listening to our own heartbeats. We have seen and experienced things you could never imagine with people who carry amazing talents and abilities unknown to the world.
All of my senses can feel the suspense, it's something in the air tonight it's in my belly, in my bags and the clothes that I wear tonight. I can't explain, it's something in the air tonight. I step out, breathe in the fresh air tonight, darkness I ain't scared tonight, anticipation's in the air tonight, never been here before but I'm here tonight. Electricity in the air tonight, I can feel the smell of trains in the air tonight, confidence in the air tonight, if you feel it put your hands in the air tonight!
I can feel an unexplainable sense of excitement and tension in the air, affecting my whole being and everything I carry. Stepping outside, I breathe in the fresh air and feel neither fear nor anxiety. There is a strong anticipation in the air, as though something significant is about to happen. Even though I am unfamiliar with this place, I am present and alive. The air is electric with the scent of trains and I feel confident. If you also feel this energy, put your hands in the air and celebrate with me.
Once again there's sirens, who's firing, who's doing the dying, many lose direction out there no lying a lot of snakes a lot of rats a few lions when the kings of the jungle move unseen some of the kids made a quick bundle of cash i hear 'em speeding down my street know one thing live fast die young, hard facts but who am I to judge my brother I see your situation. It's what we teach you to do so you keep an eye out my brother. Be safe I'm just running the night like you.
The sound of sirens echoes through the city again, indicating violence and death. Many people out there are lost and vulnerable, and there are those who take advantage of them. Those who rise to power do so without being seen, and some kids have found a way to profit quickly. While it is a harsh reality that living fast may cause a young death, I do not judge my brother who is in this situation. It is what we have been brought up to do, so we must be cautious and take care of ourselves. I am running through the night just like you, so stay safe, my brother.
In the air tonight, in the air tonight, in the air tonight if you feel it put your hands in the air tonight!
This energy is still present in the air and if you feel it, join me in celebrating its power by raising your hands in the air.
