Darkness
Mike Ault Christian De La Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time flies when I'm with you
Blooming below the sun
Holding me like a gun
Sweat and rain fall in a dream
Rest can wait, eternity
Follow me through the clouds
We're never coming down
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework, firework, firework
Like a...
Hand in hand under the moon
Day and night journey with you
Out of body far out
We're never coming down
down
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework, firework, firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework, firework, firework
Like a firework
If we're getting closer
(Then let me know)
If we're getting closer
(Then let me know)
If we're getting closer
(Then let me know)
If we're getting closer
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework, firework, firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework
Like a firework, firework, firework
Like a firework
The lyrics of "Darkness," a song by Mike Ault Christian De La Torre, express the overwhelming feeling of being lost in someone's love. The first two lines, "Closed eyes and body see through, Time flies when I'm with you," indicate that the persona feels a deep sense of connection with their significant other, where even with closed eyes and the absence of thought, the feeling of belongingness is still potent. The line "Blooming below the sun, Holding me like a gun," may mean that the persona feels vulnerable yet protected in their partner's embrace, as if their love is both beautiful and dangerous, captivating and intimidating. The lyrics "Sweat and rain fall in a dream, Rest can wait, eternity," suggest the persona's willingness to give herself entirely to her partner despite immediate physical discomfort. Thus, the idea of eternity here implies an infinite love that transcends the temporal and physical.
The following lines "Follow me through the clouds, We're never coming down" reiterate the idea of never-ending love, where the lovers are elevated to a higher plane beyond material reality. The repeated chorus "Like a firework" emphasizes the idea of a brief yet powerful explosion of emotions that leaves a lasting impression. The lines "Hand in hand under the moon, Day and night journey with you, Out of body far out, We're never coming down," further reiterate the idea of being lost in love and wholly consumed by the presence of the other. The plea "If we're getting closer, Then let me know" may mean that the persona is looking for confirmation of their connection to their partner, wishing for the assurance of their love and bond.
