Dadadada da
There is no light
No light outside
There is no light
No light outside
I think I'm gonna lose control
'Cause I'm finding the will
This machine could kill, kill, kill
Just a little bit more
Just a little bit an inch of it more
'Cause I'm beginning to tear
At the seams from the sun goes all over here
Da da da da
Dadadada da
There is no light
No light outside
There is no light
No light outside
There is no light
No light outside
There is no light
No light outside
There is no light
No light outside
There is no light
No light outside
The lyrics to The Naked and Famous’ “Dadada” are simple but powerful. The repetition of “Da da da da, Dadadada da” creates a sense of urgency and almost desperation. The first verse describes a lack of light, both literal and metaphorical. There seems to be no hope, no warmth, no guiding force. In the chorus, the singer admits to feeling like they are going to “blow” and lose control. They are finding the will to fight back against whatever darkness is engulfing them, but they know that there is a risk that this fight could be deadly.
The second verse continues this theme of desperation and the struggle to hold on. The singer is tearing at the seams, unable to handle the weight of the darkness that surrounds them. They need just a little bit more, an inch more of something, anything, to hold onto. By the end of the song, it becomes clear that the darkness is still present. The repetition of “There is no light, no light outside” hammers home the idea that the fight goes on, and the outcome is uncertain.
