Dark Shines
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Passing by you light up my darkest skies
You'll take only seconds to draw me in
So be mine and your innocence I will consume

Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good

Hold your hands up to your eyes again
Hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears
So be mine and your innocence I will consume

Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
You're dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good

Dark shines
Bringing me down




Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Muse's song Darkshines are complex and poetic. The main theme seems to be about the darkness of the human soul and how it can both consume and attract others. The first verse describes how the subject of the song has the power to "light up my darkest skies" and "draw me in" within seconds of passing by. This mysterious person is both captivating and dangerous, as demonstrated by the second verse where the subject is encouraged to "hide from the scary scenes" and "suppress your fears". The lyrics are a warning to the listener that this attraction to darkness can be harmful and all-consuming.


The chorus of the song further emphasizes the power of the dark: "Dark shines, bringing me down, making my heart feel sore, because it's good". This line is both fascinating and frightening, as it suggests that the darkness has a seductive quality that can both harm and entice. The final line of the chorus, "Because it's good", is a nod to the idea that we all have a fascination with the darker aspects of life, even though it may cause us harm.


Overall, Muse's Darkshines is a complex and thought-provoking song that touches on the human fascination with darkness and the dangers of being consumed by it.

Passing by you light up my darkest skies
You take only seconds to draw me in
So be mine
And your innocence I will consume
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good
Hold your hands up to your eyes again
Hide from the scary scenes
Suppress your fears
So be mine
And your innocence I will consume
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good
Your dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good
Dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
'Cause it's good
