Darkest
TOKiMONSTA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give it time, let my words sink in like wine
Make a better way, can't act like I'll stay
Pick a little song, help me carry on
I know, I know, I know
That it's the fire in your eyes
And it's the dream I hope to find
And it's the weight down in your soul
And it's the little whisper tone
And it's being okay alone
If I can just pretend
That something happens when
My eyes are closed, I'm safe alone
In my darkest dim
Oooooo, Oooooooo
If I can just pretend
That something happens when
My eyes are closed, I'm safe alone
In my darkest dim
Peace in the darkness, peace in the darkness
Peace in the dark, peace in the dark
Peace in the dark, peace in the dark
If I can just pretend
That something happens when
My eyes are closed, I'm safe alone
In my darkest dim
In TOKiMONSTA's song "Darkest," the lyrics speak to the struggles of change, uncertainty, and finding peace within oneself. The opening verses convey acceptance of change and the need to move forward, but also the desire for companionship and a sense of belonging. The lyrics, "Give it time, let my words sink in like wine" suggest the singer is trying to ease into the changes and find a way to manage the situation. The words "Make a better way, can't act like I'll stay" indicate that the singer is actively searching for an exit or resolution to their current predicament. In searching for a way out, the singer turns to music and hopes that a small song can help them carry on.
The chorus of the song speaks to the conflicting emotions one can feel during difficult times. The lyrics "And it's the fire in your eyes, And it's the dream I hope to find" reveal the hope and optimism the singer feels. However, the following line "And it's the weight down in your soul, And it's the strength to carry on" reflects the despair and weight of the situation. The lyrics "And it's the little whisper tone, And it's being okay alone" reveal the duality of one's emotions and the desire for companionship while also being content with being alone.
The song's overall message is that during difficult times, one can find peace within themselves by pretending that something magical can happen when they close their eyes. They must find serenity in their "darkest dim" and believe that peace lies within regardless of any external circumstances. Despite the uncertainty and changes, the singer must find hope within themselves and believe that things will get better.
