The Dark
T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel the darkness smiling
Every note is dying
Silence is refining
Every thought in his heart

Still the fates are weaving
Every note that's bleeding
As he sits there seething
All alone in the dark
Alone in the dark
Alone in the...

But in the night
The darkness breathes
If he wills it to be

Before his eyes
The music dies
But he will always hear me

He sits alone
The cards are shown
As he embraces the dark

The only sound
That he will hear
Is there in his heart

Someone is whispering softly to me
Shadows of things that no one can see
They are there for you if you want them to be
You want them to be
You want them to...

But in the night
The darkness breathes
If he wills it to be

Before his eyes
The music dies
But he will always hear me

He sits alone
The cards are shown
As he embraces the dark

The only sound




That he will hear
Is there in his heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to T's song "The Dark" present a dark and introspective perspective on the power of music to shape and reflect the emotions of those who create and consume it. The opening verse describes a feeling of contentment in the darkness, as every note seems to fade away and leave behind a sense of quiet refinement. However, the darker implications of this mood quickly emerge as the singer describes the fates weaving and bleeding notes, suggesting a deeper sense of frustration or pain behind the creation of music. The image of the singer sitting alone and seething in the dark reinforces this sense of isolation and alienation, as if the only true companionship they can find is in their own music.


The second verse introduces a new layer of complexity to the song's emotions, as the singer suggests that the darkness itself has its own power and will, breathing and dying alongside the music. This creates a sense of symbiosis between the creator and the darkness, suggesting that the very act of creating music is bound up with the emotions and environment in which it is made. The chorus reiterates this connection, emphasising that the singer will always hear the music, even as it fades away before his eyes. The bridge introduces a new presence in the song, as someone whispers softly to the singer, encouraging them to embrace the shadows and hidden depths of their own music. The song ends on this ambiguous note, leaving the listener to ponder the nature of creativity and darkness together.


In summary, "The Dark" by T is a song that explores the relationship between darkness, music and emotion, presenting a haunting and introspective mood that resonates with the listener. The singer's isolation and frustration in the first verse gives way to a more complex and symbiotic relationship with the darkness and the music they create, ending with a tantalising invitation to explore the shadows of one's own art.
