Darkness
The Devils Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blood soaked revelations
Showing where seeds of destruction lie
Suicidal desperation
Feeding off the fires in the sky
The horror of the unknown
Drives good men to become bad
The darkness inside swallows whole
The good, the ugly, and the mad
This inferno burns
A hole inside
Where your truest self
Can no longer hide
The quest for utopia brings darkness to the fore
Appeasing the tyrant unleashes waves of gore
The all seeing divine eye turns out to be blind
The heaven that you're looking for is the hell you will find
The power of the myth
Full of hatred and disdain
Is ruled by hearts as black as coal
May they forever reign
There is a madness in truth
Sanity is just a veil
A ship alone in open seas
Adrift without a sail
This inferno burns
A hole inside
Where your truest self
Can no longer hide
The quest for utopia brings darkness to the fore
Appeasing the tyrant unleashes waves of gore




The all seeing divine eye turns out to be blind
The heaven that you're looking for is the hell you will find

Overall Meaning

The Devil's song Darkness is a hauntingly beautiful yet sad song that talks about the emotions of regret and heartbreak. The singer is asking to be left alone in their pain as they don't want to face the awkwardness and pain of the situation. They have just had a conversation where they confessed that they don't love the person they are talking to, and this has caused tears to fall from their lover's eyes. The singer is now dealing with the aftermath of their decision, and an overflow of regret has taken over them.


This song captures the essence of the emotional weight of making hard decisions and living with the consequences of those decisions. It is an admission of heartbreak and the realization that sometimes, the hardest choice is the right one. The song beautifully conveys the intense emotions of loss and regret, which is accompanied by the haunting melody and vocals.


Line by Line Meaning

Leave me here
I prefer to remain in this state


I want to stay
This is where I belong right now


I don't want this awkwardness
I am uncomfortable with the situation


This pain
The emotions are causing me discomfort


Just leave me here
Do not try to fix or change anything


Face to face, I told you
In person, I shared my thoughts with you


I had to
It was necessary for me to do so


I don't love you
My feelings for you are not romantic


An overflow of regret crushes me
I am burdened with great remorse


I must go on
I have no choice but to move forward


I made tears fall from your eyes down your face
My actions caused you to cry

My hopes is that MAPPA does this part of the manga justice. I think it would be so cool if the episodes had weird 4th wall break moments like the manga.

Yesss

BeThomsen

@Matias Sure , but still cant remember anything

Matias

@BeThomsen Because it was more subtle than in your face. If you saw the video or even a few comments above you would know this already.

Cant remember a single wall break

As long as chainsaw is not rush for greed like aot and the animators are fine and not force to do too many projects then this scene will be amazing, but anything can happen especially when greed involved like with aot.

i noticed during this video that, through the manga before this thing appears, you would typically think of "THE Gun Devil"
but it's called "SOME Gun Devil" when comparing it to the Primal Fears
which might be a small thing, but i think it's a particularly scary detail, straight up saying "that monster that kills Millions in just a few seconds is quite simply NOTHING near a Devil like this" and that really sells the power and eldritch nature of the Primal Fear Devils
GOD i cannot wait for Chainsaw Man to come back, and maybe see more of these horrific, all-powerful beings

@kek Irrelevance, having your life and suffering not matter in any possible sense, the arbitrary nature of consequence, existential terror, loss, the concept of cessation. There are a number of directions things could go. Its even possible the original devil wasn't of anything particularly impressive but its consumed all the right, or wrong, concepts over the ages and there isn't any satisfying answer.

@yellowpig 10 Pretty sure he isnt the destruction devil, more like the fear of being forgotten or never remembered ever again by anyone
