The Darkest Night
Matthew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speak into these eager eyes, words of peace and healing
Shower me forever with you
We don't know we are...cut deep and bleeding
We'll crash like falling stars, to deepest dark...
And rolling over mind...waves to weaken
For years they told me it was me...innundate with fear
Is it broken?...does it bleed?
We don't know who we are...cut deep and bleeding
We'll sink within our hearts...to deepest dark...
And rolling over mind...will you reach me?
Dance, you tell me, into paradise...but holding on is all I feel I do
You are everything to me
We don't know who we are...but there is peace
We'll shine among the stars...there'll be no dark
Consumed within your fire...
We'll blaze with no restraints...in love...alive
The lyrics of Matthew's song The Darkest Night convey a feeling of helplessness and desperation, as the singer seeks comfort and solace from someone they trust amidst their inner turmoil. The opening line, "Hold me through this darkest night," sets the tone for the entire song, signaling that the singer is going through significant emotional hardship. They hear voices that scream and seek someone to speak life into their "eager eyes" with words of peace and healing.
The chorus, "We don't know who we are...cut deep and bleeding," highlights the singer's sense of confusion and pain. They feel lost and broken, unsure of who they are or how to heal their wounds. They fear that they will crash and sink into the depths of darkness, and they wonder whether their mind will ever be able to cope with the pain. The song's bridge gives a glimmer of hope as the singer is encouraged to dance into paradise, but they express their fear of letting go and holding on to those close to them. The closing line, "We'll blaze with no restraints...in love...alive," suggests that love can help the singer overcome their pain and find a sense of purpose in life.
