Dark Times
Luvver Lyrics

The lyrics of Luvver's song "Dark Times" delve into themes of loneliness, longing, and the complexities of relationships. The first verse sets the tone with the singer admitting their loneliness, expressing a hidden hope that there may be a light that never goes out. However, they acknowledge that this hope may not be realized and that the light might fade away.

In the second verse, the songwriter portrays a sense of being stuck in someone else's dreams while the person they once loved has moved on. They realize that they need to break free from this situation, as it seems they are trapped in a state of longing and unfulfilled desires.

The chorus reveals the impact that this person had on the singer's life, describing how they were swept off their feet and how their presence has completely changed their perspective on life. The line "You can run, but you can't keep loving none" suggests that while the person they loved may have moved on, their love still persists. It implies that although one may try to escape or distance themselves, true love cannot simply be erased.

The final verse delves into the singer's struggle to navigate their emotions. They mention feeling like their inputs or desires are on hold, constantly being told what to do but never really listening. The term "happy melancholy" encapsulates the contradictory emotions they experience, as they are trying to find a balance between embracing their sadness and finding moments of happiness.

The closing lines refer to the singer trying to find a way to handle their emotions. They speak of adjusting their threshold to allow some feelings in, while compressing and limiting others. This demonstrates their attempt to cope with the complexity of their emotions. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing that despite attempts to distance themselves, the impact of their past love cannot be easily erased.
