This Wild Darkness
Moby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A portion like madness in season
Bracing all like a breaking of reason
With every night lost and every day torn
With the drama feeling calmer and it's calmer in the storm
Speakers are crying like a forrest in the rain
I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night
I'll never be free

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore
I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
I can't break what I held and it never was true
In the mirror what I said was I lied to you
And me and everything I see and everything I could
Tried so hard to be good
For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
For everything but I can fail just so many times

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stop when I feel like stopping
At five A.M. just cry, shoot, copping
The perfect life was enough for you
And ever enough to see me through
For all the lies that were spoken in waves
And the way we lived as an affront to the days
Was an affront to the things that we cared about
Was an affront to everything that we cared about

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way, oh

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way (light my way)
Light my way (light my way)

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way (out of the darkness)

Ooh, in this darkness




Please light my way
Light my way (light my way)

Overall Meaning

The song “This Wild Darkness” by Moby is a haunting representation of the turmoil and pain that the artist is going through. The lyrics are open to interpretation but it’s clear that there is a deep sense of darkness and hopelessness. The song opens with the lines, "A portion like madness in season, bracing all like a breaking of reason". These lines suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed by his emotions, they are all-consuming and he can’t escape them. He has been torn apart both during the night and day and now a storm of drama is building inside him. The feeling is suffocating and intense.


Throughout the song, the artist begs for someone to “light his way” out of this deep darkness he feels. His cry for help is poignant and raw. He feels lost and unable to navigate his own thoughts and emotions, and he needs someone to hold his hand and guide him through the darkness. The lines, "And me and everything I see and everything I could, tried so hard to be good" suggest that even though he tried to be positive and good, life is too overwhelming and too hard for him to bear.


In conclusion, Moby’s This Wild Darkness expresses a deep sense of hopelessness and pain. The artist is overwhelmed by his emotions, and he can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. The recurring plea for light indicates that the artist is in desperate need of help to get through this trying time.


Line by Line Meaning

A portion like madness in season
Intensity that is heightened and erratic like a crazy period of time


Bracing all like a breaking of reason
Overwhelming everyone and everything, causing them to lose their sense of logic and rationale


With every night lost and every day torn
Feeling like things are slipping away and deteriorating with every passing moment


With the drama feeling calmer and it's calmer in the storm
The heightened tension and chaos actually feels more serene compared to the feelings of emptiness and confusion


Speakers are crying like a forrest in the rain
The sound and intensity of the music is like a natural phenomenon, intense and cathartic


I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
Feeling isolated with intense inner turmoil and emotional suffering


And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night
The negative emotions and circumstances felt overwhelming and suffocating


I'll never be free
The feeling of being trapped in a perpetual cycle of despair and darkness


Ooh, in this darkness
Expressing a plea for help and guidance


Please light my way
Asking for something or someone to provide clarity and hope


I can't stand on my own anymore
Feeling unable to cope or manage alone


I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
Unable to tolerate the feeling of hopelessness and brokenness


I can't break what I held and it never was true
Struggling to let go of something that was never real or genuine


In the mirror what I said was I lied to you
Realizing that the things said previously were not sincere or honest


And me and everything I see and everything I could
Feeling like everything is tainted and problematic, including oneself


Tried so hard to be good
Putting in great effort to do the right thing despite difficulties


For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
Doing things for oneself, others, and for a greater purpose


For everything but I can fail just so many times
Trying for many things and yet still finding failure


I can't stop when I feel like stopping
Not being able to halt or pause when one feels like giving up


At five A.M. just cry, shoot, copping
Being unable to cope and resorting to negative and harmful behaviors


The perfect life was enough for you
Imagining that others have it easier or better compared to their own struggles


And ever enough to see me through
And this perception causes difficulty in getting through personal difficulties


For all the lies that were spoken in waves
Being overwhelmed by all the falsehoods that were communicated


And the way we lived as an affront to the days
Our way of life being a negative response to everyday circumstances


Was an affront to the things that we cared about
This negative response goes against the personal values and beliefs


Ooh, in this darkness
Once again, expressing a plea for help and guidance


Please light my way
Asking for something or someone to provide clarity and hope


Light my way (out of the darkness)
Asking for something to help block out negativity and create a better future


Ooh, in this darkness
Expressing a plea for help and guidance


Please light my way
Asking for something or someone to provide clarity and hope


Light my way (light my way)
Repeating the request to emphasize the need for it to happen

Take ten deep, slow breaths.
From the Mayo Clinic:
>>But when stressors are always present and you constantly feel under attack, that fight-or-flight reaction stays turned on.
>>The long-term activation of the stress response system and the overexposure to cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone] and other stress hormones that follow *can disrupt almost all your body's processes.* This puts you at increased risk of many health problems, including:
>>Anxiety, Depression, Digestive problems, Headaches, Muscle tension and pain, Heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke, Sleep problems, Weight gain, Memory and concentration impairment

Peer reviewed article from *Nature*:
>>Prolonged, elevated cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone] levels in animals are also shown to cause atrophy [Weakening] in the hippocampus [The Brain's Memory Center]and hypertrophy [Growth] in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], largely through changes in dendritic remodeling[Parts Of Brain Cells That Catch Messages From Other Brain Cells]. These structural changes may contribute to deficits in appropriate feedback onto the HPA axis. [The Part Of Your Brain That Keeps You Calm]

Results from Berkely Study:
>>Activity in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], suggests that quick breathing rates may trigger feelings like anxiety, anger, or fear. Other studies have shown that we tend to be more attuned to fear when we're breathing quickly. Conversely, it may be possible to reduce fear and anxiety by slowing down our breath.

Results from MSU study:
>>Deep breathing causes the vagus nerve [Immune System And Heart Rate Control] to signal your nervous system to lower your heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone]. Taking just ten deep breaths can assist with relaxation and provide a sense of calm.

A potion like madness and season
Bracing all like a breaking of reason
But every night lost and every day torn
The drama feeling calmer, it's a calmer in the storm
Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain

And the darkness closed like a mouth on a [?]
I'll never be free

Ooh, in this darkness

Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness

I can't break what I held and it never was true

And me and everything I see and everything I could
Tried so hard to be good
For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
For everything but I can fail just so many times

D'Arcy Glad

"This Wild Darkness"

Apportioned like madness in season
Bracing all like a breaking of reason
With every night lost, and every day torn
With a drama feeling calmer it's a comma in the storm
Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain
I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wire
And night, I'll never be free

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore
I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
I can't break what I held and it never was true
In the mirror what I said was I lied to you
And me and everything I see and everything I could
I tried so hard to be good
For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
For everything but I can fail just so many times

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stop when I feel like stopping
At 5 A.M. just cry, shoot, copping
The perfect life was enough for you
But never enough to see me through
For all the lies that were spoken in ways
And the way we lived as an affront to the days
It was an affront to the things that we cared about
Was an affront to everything that we cared about

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

У меня нет слов, как прекрасна эта песня

Difference of Moby..

SuperCharlybrown1

It's an honor for me to write you, Moby, although you may never see this comment.
I´ve been listening your songs since I was a child. I don´t know how you can create those beautiful songs, with them I can yearn for the past, I remember with hope. Your music has something very special that I can´t describe. I only know that it reminds me of loved ones, special moments of my life, and I think that all this has helped me to be a better person. Thank you Moby.

>>Anxiety, Depression, Digestive problems, Headaches, Muscle tension and pain, Heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke, Sleep problems, Weight gain, Memory and concentration impairment

Peer reviewed article from *Nature*:
>>Prolonged, elevated cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone] levels in animals are also shown to cause atrophy [Weakening] in the hippocampus [The Brain's Memory Center]and hypertrophy [Growth] in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], largely through changes in dendritic remodeling[Parts Of Brain Cells That Catch Messages From Other Brain Cells]. These structural changes may contribute to deficits in appropriate feedback onto the HPA axis. [The Part Of Your Brain That Keeps You Calm]

Results from Berkely Study:
>>Activity in the amygdala [The Brain's Fear Center], suggests that quick breathing rates may trigger feelings like anxiety, anger, or fear. Other studies have shown that we tend to be more attuned to fear when we're breathing quickly. Conversely, it may be possible to reduce fear and anxiety by slowing down our breath.

Results from MSU study:
>>Deep breathing causes the vagus nerve [Immune System And Heart Rate Control] to signal your nervous system to lower your heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol [The Primary Stress Hormone]. Taking just ten deep breaths can assist with relaxation and provide a sense of calm.

A potion like madness and season
Bracing all like a breaking of reason
But every night lost and every day torn
The drama feeling calmer, it's a calmer in the storm
Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain
I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
And the darkness closed like a mouth on a [?]
I'll never be free

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore
I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
I can't break what I held and it never was true
In the mirror what I said was I lied to you
And me and everything I see and everything I could
Tried so hard to be good
For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
For everything but I can fail just so many times

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stop when I feel like stopping
At 5 A.M. just cry [?]
A perfect life was enough for you
And ever enough to see me through
For all my lies that were spoken and ways
And the way we lived as an affront to the days
Was an affront to the things that we cared about
Was an affront to everything that we cared about

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way
