Darling
The Stories Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling can you see something inside
Can't be denied it's the way that you feel
If you want it, you gotta try
Taking the best of the lesson you know

When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone
Where's the reason and the strength to carry on
Taking a chance and forgetting the reason
Come back, I can see you far behind
That I need you on my mind
Is there nothing in the world that takes the sound
Making the best of the season till now

For the more we can conceive the more we found
La la la la

I need the way that you make me feel
Darling can you feel it? I need your love
Taking the best of the lesson you know
Darling if you want it, you can be sure

There so many in the stars watching the sky
And you know somehow that most of them will die

Can't be denied it's the way that you feel
Darling can you see something inside
Taking the best of the lesson you know
If you want it, you gotta try





When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone
Where's the reason and the strength to carry on

Overall Meaning

The Stories’s song “Darling” seems to be about the ups and downs of a relationship, expressed through metaphors that are somewhat abstract. The song opens with the singer asking their lover if they can see “something inside.” This something probably refers to the emotional connection between them that they both feel but might not be able to articulate. The singer begs their partner to try and take the best out of the lessons they have learned from their love for each other.


The lyrics then turn slightly dark as the singer talks about disappearing when “the night has turned to dawn.” This line could symbolize that there might be a break or an end to the relationship, rather than just sleeping apart. With the questions of “where’s the reason and strength to carry on,” the singer wonders if their love is gone, or if the difficulties they’re going through are making it too hard for them to stay together.


In the latter part of the song, the singer asks their lover if they can feel what they feel, emphasizing how important their connection is to them. The lyrics, “taking the best of the lesson you know” and “if you want it, you gotta try,” further emphasize the means to overcoming the obstacles in their relationship.


Overall, “Darling” seems to be a plea from the singer to their partner, asking them to try harder in the relationship, despite its difficulties.

Darling, can you see it something inside
Can't be denied it's the way that you feel it
If you want it, you gotta try
Taking the best of the lesson

You know when the night has turned to dawn I will be gone
Where's the reason and the strength to carry on

Come back, I can see you far behind
Taking a chance and forgetting the reason
That I need you on my mind
Making the best of the season

For now is there nothing in the world that takes in sound
For the more we can conceive the more we found

Darling can you feel it? I need your love
I need the way that you make me feel
Darling if you want it, you can be sure
Taking the best of the lesson

You know there's so many in the stars watching the sky
And you know that somehow most of them will cry

To ακουσα αυτο το καλοκαιρι μετα απο 45 χρονια και ηταν χτυπημα βιαιο στο μυαλο και την ψυχη ,πλημμυρισα απο θυμισες , στιγμες της ζωης μου που θυμομουν και αλλες που ειχα ξεχασει ,ομορφες στιγμες που δεν θα εχω ποτε ξανα , και γεμισα θλιψη

@AnnaXGeneration

Verstehe ich gut. Ich habe es nach 20 Jahren wiedergefunden. Was für ein toller song!

@christosvironas1346

Χαρά να γεμίσεις που τα έζησες όχι θλίψη που τα θυμήθηκες..may the force be with you Darth ;)

@user-hj1gs9yc6s

Ομορφια

@user-en7wu5xm4f

Ωραία τα είπες μπράβο

@On_Dust

Ουαου, μαν. Αυτο ηταν πολυ ποιητικό. Πρόσφατα ανακάλυψα αυτό το συγκρότημα. Το πρώτο τραγούδι που άκουσα ήταν το brother Louie. Είναι απίστευτο πως μουσική τέτοιου είδους υπήρχε στα 70ς.

@boiwatchoutboi4382

Damnn it took a WHILE to find this song but was it worth it!

@evianagnostopoulou7480

Αυτό το τραγούδι με κάνει να θέλω να βάλω τα κλάματα. Νιώθω λες κ είμαι σε 70s ταινία, κάπου νέα Υόρκη, να βρέχει και να κλαις γι αυτόν που έχασες. Αριστούργημα

@costash457

When a song can be really a masterpice !
