Dark Times
Skilla O.P. Lyrics

In "Dark Times," Skilla O.P. opens up about the challenges he has faced and the impact they have had on his life. He begins by expressing the title of the song, explaining that he refers to this period as dark times because it is difficult to move forward when past experiences continue to haunt him. He feels weighed down by these memories, as if they are trapped in his mind and will stay with him indefinitely.

Skilla O.P. wishes that he could find a way to lessen the impact of these memories, imagining a scenario where they only occupy a portion of his life rather than overshadowing everything. He reflects on the possibility of returning to a previous time in his life when he felt at his best, longing for the chance to regain that sense of prime and success.

Throughout the song's introduction, he searches for the perfect rhyme while hoping that this album will be his opportunity to shine. He is determined to find out who he truly is without resorting to any criminal behavior, indicating a desire to transcend his dark experiences and discover his true self.

Skilla O.P. maintains a constant feeling that his life is covered in grime, suggesting that his past has left a bitter taste similar to that of a sour lime. Acknowledging this, he concludes that the only choice left is to face these difficult circumstances head-on, as if embracing the concept of enduring hard times. He alludes to the end of the song, suggesting that afterwards, the listener will have entered a peaceful and restful state, perhaps feeling a sense of relief or closure after experiencing and reflecting on his dark times.
