Darker Than The Light That Never Bleeds
Steve Aoki & Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm not coming down
The battlefields have left me only scars
And floating in the dark
I'm swimming in the sound
Of voices that should never been apart
Darker than the blood (Darker than the blood)
This is not the end (This is not the end)
You are not the only one (You are not the only one)
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Waiting for the light that never comes
Waiting for a light that never comes
The song Darker Than Blood by Steve Aoki Linkin Park is an introspective and emotional song that portrays the struggles of a person who has been through a lot of battles in life. The lyrics "Don't you hold your breath, 'cause I'm not coming down. The battlefields have left me only scars" reflect the singer's resilience and determination to not let his difficulties drag him down. He acknowledges that he has been through dark and painful moments but he is not going to give up, and he is victorious in that sense because he has not let his challenges overcome him. The line "I'm swimming in the sound of voices that should never be apart" could be interpreted to mean that the singer is surrounded by voices of loved ones who have passed away, and he feels their absence but he is still living and fighting.
In the chorus of the song, the singer continues to show his strong-willed character with the lyrics "Darker than the blood, higher than the sun, this is not the end, you are not the only one". The phrases "darker than the blood" and "higher than the sun" are contrasting images that represent the extremes of pain and hope, respectively. The singer wants to convey the message that hope is always there, even in the darkest of times, and he is not giving up because he knows others are in the same position as he is. The last verse is a repetition of the chorus with some new lines, where the singer is waiting for a light that never comes. This could refer to his expectation of something better or a sign from above, but it never arrived.
