Dark Places
Quinn Archer Lyrics

Cold winter falls
A metaphorical phrase indicating a state of loneliness and isolation.

Inside my head
Referring to the feeling of being trapped inside one's own thoughts and emotions.

I'm building walls
The singer is putting up emotional barriers to protect themselves from being hurt.

When you bring me down
The singer is easily affected by negative comments or actions from others.

The silence breaks
The quietness of their thoughts is interrupted by the pain they feel.

My heart to lead
Their emotions are controlling their thoughts and actions.

I'm sinking
They feel like they are progressively drowning in negative emotions.

So far In the ground
Metaphorically, they feel like they have hit rock bottom emotionally.

Another day A sleepless night
They can't stop thinking about the person who is causing them emotional distress.

With you on my mind
They are consumed by thoughts of the person causing their pain.

Just take another sip from the bottle
Referring to drinking alcohol as a means of coping with emotional pain.

Makes you feel you're braver than me
The singer is acknowledging that drinking alcohol is not a healthy coping mechanism.

Icy words that cut When they're swallowed
Negative comments or actions from others that are hurtful.

I can give just as easily
The singer is capable of hurting others just the same as they have been hurt.

I can't waste anymore time Shed any more tears For your thoughts of dying
The singer cannot continue to emotionally invest in a person who wants to cause them harm, even if it means letting go of the relationship.

If I leave you here in the dark It's just another fear That we'll never make it
The singer is afraid that leaving the toxic relationship will cause it to end completely.

You gotta kiss of death I need to break it
The relationship is causing emotional harm to the singer and they need to end it.

Here in this place so dark Our dark places...
Referring to the unhealthy emotional state the singer is in and the pain they are going through.

Heavy heart Angry mind Constantly, I'm spinning
The singer is experiencing intense emotional pain and confusion.

In whispered words I hear you lie Just so I'm pulled in again
The person causing the emotional distress is using manipulative tactics to keep the singer invested in the relationship.

Help me breath now Gotta get control On the edge... And I don't know if... I can walk alone... ...Alone...
The singer is struggling to take control of their emotions and must learn how to let go of the toxic relationship.
