Dark On Me
Starset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no hate
There's no love
Only dark skies that hang above
I call your name as I walk alone
Send a signal to guide me home

Light the night up, you're my dark star
And now you're falling away

But I found in you what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

You're the cause
The antidote
The sinking ship that I could not let go
You led my way then disappeared
How could you just walk away and leave me here?

Light the night up, you're my dark star
And now you're falling away

But I found in you what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

Blinded, I can't do this on my own
You are all I've got to guide me home

I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

Dark on me, dark on me
Dark on me, dark on me
Dark on me

I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

"With the growth and development of these giant eyes
The exploration of space has swept outwards in great waves
Today we explore with a telescope of 100 inches
It has the light gathering power of more than 200,000 human eyes
We observe a volume of space so vast
That it may be a fair sample of the universe itself
The explorations fall into three phases
The first phase led long ago to a picture




Of the solar system, the Sun with its family of planets
Including the earth, isolated and lonely in space"

Line by Line Meaning

There's no hate
There's no animosity between us


There's no love
There's no affection or strong bond between us


Only dark skies that hang above
We exist in a bleak and gloomy state


I call your name as I walk alone
I'm searching for you and hoping you'll hear me


Send a signal to guide me home
Give me a sign that will lead me to you


Light the night up, you're my dark star
You're the bright spot in my darkness


And now you're falling away
You're drifting away from me


But I found in you what was lost in me
You brought something valuable into my life


In a world so cold and empty
Life can be harsh and unforgiving


I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
Simply being near you gives me comfort and peace


In the dead of night, you went dark on me
You disappeared when I needed you most


You're the cause
You are the reason for my feelings and actions


The antidote
You also have the power to alleviate my pain


The sinking ship that I could not let go
You're something I can't bear to lose


You led my way then disappeared
You guided me through tough times but then vanished


How could you just walk away and leave me here?
I feel abandoned and betrayed by your departure


Blinded, I can't do this on my own
I'm lost and helpless without you


You are all I've got to guide me home
You're my only hope to find my way back to happiness


Dark on me, dark on me
Your absence has cast a shadow over everything


I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
Even just seeing you brings me comfort and joy


In the dead of night, you went dark on me
You left me alone in a time of need, when I needed you most

My best friend sent me this song a few years ago. I had just recently moved away, and we were going to go to different highschools for our freshman year. At the time, we sent each other songs every so often (he did more than I did). I think this was one of the first songs he sent me, and for some reason, one of the most memorable.

Tbh, I could always remember the band name but not the actual title. I used to think that Starset was the name of this song lol

It’s been a long while since I’ve listened to this song, but I’ll think about it every now and again. I was always too lazy to find the song again and listen to it until recently, when a new friend I made mentioned that Starset was one of his favorite music artists.

This song brings back so many amazing memories for me, and it reminds me of my best friend... who I haven’t really heard from recently.

I’ll be thinking of him though. If he’s reading this, I miss ya! ^^

There's no hate, there's no love
Only dark skies, that hang above
I call your name as I walk alone
Send a signal to guide me home

Light the night
You're my dark star
And now you're falling away

But I found in you, what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake, just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

You're the cause the antidote
The sinking ship, that I could not let go
You let my way, then disappear
How could you just walk away and leave me here

Light the night
You're my dark star
And now you're falling away

But I found in you, what was lost in me
In a world so cold and empty
I could lie awake
Just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

Why did I can do this on my own
You're all I got to guide me home

I could lie awake
Just to watch you breathe
In the dead of night, you went dark on me

Dark on me
Dark on me
Dark on me
Dark on me
Dark on me

I could lie awake
Just to watch you breathe

There's no hate
そこに憎しみはない
There's no love
そこに愛はない
Only dark skies that hang above
真っ暗な空だけが広がっている
I call your name as I walk alone
一人で歩きながら君の名前を呼ぶ
Send a signal to guide me home
家に帰るために 合図を送ってくれ
Light the night up, you're my dark star
夜を照らしてくれる 君は俺の暗闇の中で輝く星
And now you're falling away
そして今 君は落ちていく

But I found in you what was lost in me
しかし 俺は君の中に 失った自分を見つけたんだ
In a world so cold and empty
とても冷たくて空虚な世界で
I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
君の呼吸を見る為だけに 眠らずに横たわっていたんだ
In the dead of night you went dark on me
真夜中に 君は俺を置いてどこかに消えた

You're the cause
君のせいだ
The antidote
解毒剤
The sinking ship that I could not let go
それは手放せなかった沈没船だ
You led my way, then disappeared
君は先導してくれたけど そのあと消えてしまった
How could you just walk away and leave me here?
どうして俺を置き去りにしたんだ?
Light the night up, you're my dark star
夜を照らしてくれる 君は俺の暗闇の中で輝く星
And now you're falling away
そして今 君は落ちていく

But I found in you what was lost in me
しかし 俺は君の中に 失った自分を見つけたんだ
In a world so cold and empty
とても冷たくて空虚な世界で
I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
君の呼吸を見る為だけに 眠らずに横たわっていたんだ
In the dead of night you went dark on me
真夜中に 君は俺を置いてどこかに消えた

Blinded I can't do this on my own
盲目の俺は 自分では何もできない
You are all I've got to guide me home
君だけが 俺を帰る場所へと連れて行ってくれる

I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
君の呼吸を見る為だけに 眠らずに横たわっていたんだ
In the dead of night you went dark on me
真夜中に 君は俺を置いてどこかに消えた

Dark on me, dark on me...
君は俺を置いてどこかに消えた

Dark on me
君は俺を置いてどこかに消えた

I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
君の呼吸を見る為だけに 眠らずに横たわっていたんだ
In the dead of night you went dark on me
真夜中に 君は俺を置いてどこかに消えた

With the growth and development of these giant eyes,
この巨大な目の成長と発展に伴い
The exploration of space has swept outwards in great waves.
宇宙の探検は大きな波に乗って 外へと出て行きました
Today we explore with a telescope of 100 inches…
今日 私たちは100インチの望遠鏡で探査を行っています
It has the light gathering power of more than 200,000 human eyes…
それは 20万個以上の人間の目に匹敵する集光力を持っています
The explorations fall into three phases.
探査は3つのフェーズに分かれています
The first phase led long ago to a picture of the solar system-
第一段階では遥か昔の太陽系が描かれています
The sun with its family of planets, including the earth,
地球を含む太陽系の惑星が
Isolated and lonely in space.
宇宙空間の中で孤独に佇んでいました
