not dark yet
Severa Gjurin Lyrics

Shadows are falling
The shadows of the day are waning and darkness is approaching.

And I've been here all day
The singer has been in the same place all day, perhaps feeling stuck.

It's too hot to sleep
The heat is making it difficult to sleep, so the singer is awake and alert.

And time is running away
The artist feels like time is slipping away and they can't get it back.

Feel like my soul has
The artist's soul is experiencing

Turned into steel
Emotionally, the singer feels hardened and unfeeling.

I've still got the scars
The pain from past hurt is still present in the singer's life.

That the sun didn't heal
Even the healing power of the sun couldn't erase the pain entirely.

There's not even room enough
The artist feels constrained, like there's not enough space.

To be anywhere
The artist doesn't feel like they have a place to be, like they're not truly at home.

It's not dark yet
Although sadness and pain are present, things haven't hit rock bottom yet.

But it's getting there
Life's circumstances are gradually worsening and heading towards a breaking point.

Well, my sense of humanity
The singer's belief in the inherent goodness of humanity is fading.

Has gone down the drain
The singer feels like this belief has been lost and can't be found again.

Behind every beautiful thing
There is often great pain and struggle required to create it.

There's been some kind of pain
Beauty is not effortless, and often comes with a cost.

She wrote me a letter
The artist received a message from someone important to them.

And she wrote it so kind
The message was written in a gentle and caring way.

She put down in writing
The message was communicated through a letter.

What was in her mind
The message conveyed the thoughts and emotions of the sender.

I just don't see why I should even care
The artist is apathetic and doesn't feel like the message is worth their emotional investment.

Well, I've been to London
The artist has traveled and seen the world.

And I've been to gay Paris
The singer has visited exciting and culturally rich cities.

I've followed the river
The artist has explored nature and followed a winding river to the sea.

And I got to the sea
The singer arrived at the ocean and saw its vastness and beauty.

I've been down on the bottom
The singer has had moments of great pain and despair.

Of a world full of lies
The singer feels that the world is full of deceit and falsehood.

I ain't looking for nothing
The artist isn't searching for anything meaningful in life anymore.

In anyone's eyes
The artist isn't trying to impress or please anyone else.

Sometimes my burden
The singer carries a heavy emotional burden.

Is more than I can bear
Sometimes, the pain feels like too much to handle.

I was born here, and I'll die here
The artist feels tied to their birthplace and expects to die there.

Against my will
The artist doesn't necessarily want to stay, but feels compelled to.

I know it looks like I'm moving
Others may perceive the artist as making progress or changing, but they don't feel it themselves.

But I'm standing still
In reality, the singer feels stagnant and stuck.

Every nerve in my body
The artist feels emotionally drained and overwhelmed.

Is so vacant and numb
The singer feels empty and detached from their emotions.

I can't even remember what it was
The singer can't recall the initial reason that brought them to their current place.

I came here to get away from
There was something at their previous location that the singer was trying to escape.

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
The artist feels alone and isolated from any spiritual or emotional comfort.

It's not dark yet
Despite all of the pain and struggle, there is still a glimmer of hope.

But it's getting there
However, the future looks uncertain and the darkness is looming.
