Loudspeaker Alliance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
by your dark tongue.
Images of happy times
are all gone!
And so now here I am
in the calm delusion.
Oh, the damaged brains my friend,
Close your eyes now everything
is possible.
Feel the wind rushing through your skin
it's so cold.
Clipping in the walls,
dusty old shows.
You can turn your head around,
but there's nothing left there to be found.
The lyrics to Loudspeaker Alliance's song "Black" seem to be about a relationship that has turned sour. The first two lines suggest that the speaker's partner has been saying hurtful, negative things that have painted everything in a dark light. "Images of happy times are all gone" implies that the speaker remembers a time when things were good, but that those memories have been tainted by their partner's words. The second stanza seems to suggest that the speaker has tried to escape this situation, perhaps by retreating into their own mind ("in the calm delusion"). However, even there, they are haunted by the damage that has been done ("the damaged brains my friend, broken souls again").
The third stanza takes a turn towards the surreal, with a somewhat dreamlike description of feeling the wind rushing through one's skin. However, this sensation is juxtaposed with images of confinement ("clipping in the walls, dusty old shows"). The final line, "you can turn your head around, but there's nothing left there to be found," reinforces the sense of hopelessness and loss that permeates the song. It's possible that "Black" is a metaphor for the emotional state of the speaker - they have been plunged into darkness and are struggling to find their way out, even in their own mind.
