The Darkness
The Giving Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things are going in my head all the time
am I gonna die tonight?
Yesterday we saw the light,
but our dreams were out of sight
If you can tell me how,
then I will be around for now.
She said I'm the only one.
and I don't know what's gonna be done
you are like a gun to me.
I can feel anxiety.
My body is right with me
Although I'm feeling numb from what has begun and Oh,
Wait, I wanna fall down
to the ground.
Take the things that make a sound
to be found,
to fall.
She said I'm the only one
I'm a little tired and I don't know what's gonna be done.
You are like a gun to me.
I can feel anxiety.
My body is right with me
Although I'm feeling numb from what has begun and Oh,
Wait, I wanna fall down
to the ground.
Take the things that make a sound
to be found,
to fall.
Wait, I wanna fall down
to the ground.
Take the things that make a sound
to be found,
to fall.
The Giving Moon's song "The Darkness" is a song about the overwhelming feeling of paranoia and anxiety that plagues the singer's mind. The lyrics "Paranoia is in my mind, things are going in my head all the time" express the constant internal turmoil the person feels. They question their mortality with the line "am I gonna die tonight?" and reflect on their unrealized dreams with "yesterday we saw the light, but our dreams were out of sight."
The singer seeks solace from someone who reassures them that they are not alone. "She said I'm the only one" provides a comforting message. However, even in the presence of another, the singer still feels anxious and exhausted: "I'm a little tired, and I don't know what's gonna be done, you are like a gun to me. I can feel anxiety."
The repetition of the line "wait, I wanna fall down to the ground" indicates a desire to rest, to let go of the constant mental strain. The song ends with a reflection on the body's physical presence, even if the mind feels numb and overwhelmed.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of fragility and uncertainty, but also a desire for connection and comfort.
