How Did We Get So Dark?
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the shadow on the wall
You started running
When everything turned cold
How did I become a lookalike
Of someone you used to love?
Someone you used to love
How did something so sweet tear us apart?
Oh, on a sinking ship with a heavy heart
Oh
How did we get so dark?
Nobody warned you
The tables would turn
And I could have told you
Everything you've learnt
Would burn to dust
Now there's no one you can trust
Just someone you used to love
Someone you used to love
So dark
How did something so sweet tear us apart?
Oh, on a sinking ship with a heavy heart
Oh
How did we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
The lyrics to Royal Blood's "How Did We Get So Dark?" speak to the feelings of confusion and betrayal that can come in the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer saw the signs that something was wrong before everything fell apart, but their partner was already running away when it all turned cold. The singer can't help but wonder how they came to resemble someone else, someone their partner used to love, and how that resemblance played a part in their undoing.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of darkness and bitterness towards how things ended. The sweetness of the relationship is contrasted with the sinking feeling of heartbreak, and the lyrics paint a picture of a world where trust has been shattered and everything that was once solid has turned to ash. The overall question of "How did we get so dark?" is one that can resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they lost something they thought would last forever.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw it coming
I knew this was going to happen
Like the shadow on the wall
It was as predictable as the shadow cast by something against a wall
You started running
You began to panic and try to escape
When everything turned cold
When everything suddenly went wrong
How did I become a lookalike
How did I become so similar to someone you used to love
Of someone you used to love?
Like the person you used to love, you have caused us to fall apart
So dark
This situation is incredibly bleak
How did something so sweet tear us apart?
How did such a lovely relationship end up causing such destruction
Oh, on a sinking ship with a heavy heart
We've found ourselves in a desperate and hopeless situation
Oh
Expressing despair and frustration
How did we get so dark?
How did we end up in such a bleak and tragic state?
Nobody warned you
No one gave you a heads up about what was to come
The tables would turn
The situation would change drastically
And I could have told you
I knew this would happen but didn't warn you
Everything you've learnt
Everything you thought you knew
Would burn to dust
All of your knowledge and experiences would become useless
Now there's no one you can trust
You have no one to rely on or believe in
Just someone you used to love
Just me, the person you used to love
