Walking Through The Darkness
Tekitha Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been so long
Since he had a true friend
True friends are sure hard to come by

But then again
His loyalties lie within
Always kept his head to the sky
And they can't see, no, no, no

They can't see him walking through the darkness, no, no, no, no
They can't see him walking through the darkness
No, no, no, no, no
They can't see him walking through the darkness
No, no
They can't see him walking through, walking through

Day after day
And night after night
He's hustling just to get it right
There's no honor from thieves
No war without peace

The noose is tight, he'll still survive
Because they can't see, no
They can't see him walking through the darkness
No, no
They can't see him walking through the darkness
No, no
They can't see him walking through the darkness
They can't see him walking through, walking through

No, in the end
Fate had it's place
On his road to become, becoming

They chased and gave haste
With zeal to a lemonade
Challenge instead of grace
And sealed his fate

They can't see him walking through the darkness
No, no
They can't see him walking through, walking through
No
They can't see him walking through, walking through
Walking through

Walking through the darkness

Walking through the darkness
Walking through the darkness

The lyrics go on to say that people cannot see him walking through the darkness, and he's been surviving even when the noose is tight.

Furthermore, the lyrics depict how the main character has been chased down for something that he did not do, and his fate is sealed even when he deserved grace, not challenge, which indicates that he has been through an unjust situation. The song highlights how the main character, despite the challenges he's faced, has kept his head held high and has been striving to make his way in the world, even though he's been alone on this journey.

Line by Line Meaning

It's been so long
It has been a long time

Since he had a true friend
Since he found someone who truly supports him

True friends are sure hard to come by
It is difficult to find genuine friends

But then again
However, on the other hand

His loyalties lie within
He remains committed to himself

Always kept his head to the sky
He remains optimistic despite the challenges he faces

And they can't see, no, no, no
They are incapable of noticing

They can't see him walking through the darkness, no, no, no, no
They are unaware of his struggles

Day after day
Every day

And night after night
Every night

He's hustling just to get it right
He is working tirelessly to succeed

There's no honor from thieves
There is no respect from those who steal from him

No war without peace
Peace must precede a state of war

The noose is tight, he'll still survive
Despite the tight situation, he remains strong

Because they can't see, no
Due to their inability to observe

No, in the end
Ultimately

Fate had it's place
Destiny played a role

On his road to become, becoming
On his path to success

They chased and gave haste
They pursued and rushed him

With zeal to a lemonade
With excitement like a child's for lemonade

Challenge instead of grace
They presented difficulties instead of help

And sealed his fate
Their actions determined his destiny

Walking through the darkness
Enduring difficult times
