Darkness in Our Hearts
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna make it clear
And really say it all
Well it just keeps swirling 'round
Inside our crystal ball
Trick or treat then vanish with my stolen goods
There's a darkness in our hearts
And my smile hides an aching heart
Although we're close, we're miles apart
Don't let this darkness fill our hearts
Hey I'm not like everybody else
You're not like everybody else
Face the facts
Mirror thoughts keep bouncing up and down my spine
Well I hypnotize myself that everything is fine
Expressing what I'm feeling though it hurts to say
When the novelty wears off and we just drift away
There's a darkness in our hearts
And my smile hides an aching heart
Although we're close, we're miles apart
Don't let this darkness fill our hearts
I'm not like everybody else
You're not like everybody else
Darkness in our hearts
And my smile hides an aching heart
Although we're close, we're miles apart
Don't let this darkness fill our hearts
Gotta be, gotta be ready for it [x16]
The song "Darkness in Our Hearts" by Miles Kane is a reflection on the struggles that come with relationships, specifically the struggles that arise when a couple is on the verge of drifting apart. The lyrics talk about the feeling of being lost and the darkness that fills our hearts when that happens. The song begins with the repetition of "gotta be, gotta be ready for it," indicating a sense of urgency and anticipation for the end of a relationship. Kane then talks about being open and honest with his feelings, although it hurts to say how he feels. The line "my smile hides an aching heart" indicates the facade that people can put up to hide their true emotions, even from those closest to them. Kane wants to express himself and confront the issues in the relationship before they are too late.
The song also highlights the uniqueness of individuals and the fact that not everyone is the same. The line "Hey I'm not like everybody else, You're not like everybody else" emphasizes that everyone has their own struggles and battles that they are facing. The use of the mirror in the lyrics highlights the introspective nature of the song and the importance of self-reflection.
Overall, "Darkness in Our Hearts" is a poignant song that reflects on the complexities of relationships and the difficult emotions that arise when they are on the verge of ending.

Wanna make it clear
I want to express myself clearly
And really say it all
I want to say everything I'm feeling
Well it just keeps swirling 'round
These thoughts keep spinning in my head
Inside our crystal ball
We can see our future, but it's not clear
Trick or treat then vanish with my stolen goods
I feel lost and like I'm always giving but not getting back
I find myself all lost inside my neighbourhood
I feel lost even in the familiar places I know
There's a darkness in our hearts
We have negative feelings inside us
And my smile hides an aching heart
I'm pretending to be happy when I'm really hurting inside
Although we're close, we're miles apart
We may be physically close, but emotionally distant
Don't let this darkness fill our hearts
We need to fight against our negative feelings
Hey I'm not like everybody else
I'm unique and different
You're not like everybody else
My audience is unique and different too
Face the facts
We need to confront the truth of our situation
Mirror thoughts keep bouncing up and down my spine
I keep reflecting on myself and my issues
Well I hypnotize myself that everything is fine
I try to convince myself that I'm okay, even when I'm not
Expressing what I'm feeling though it hurts to say
It's difficult to openly share my emotions
When the novelty wears off and we just drift away
Our connection may fade over time, as the excitement dies down
Gotta be, gotta be ready for it
We have to prepare ourselves for the difficulties ahead
