With keen pop sensibilities, a skewed sense of humour and a willingness to draw inspiration from diverse sources (notably punk rock), Therapy? came to attention in the early 1990s rise of alternative rock, but have endured for more than a decade since; Critic Johnny Loftus writes, "After a ten-plus year career that has seen them outlast competitors and outwit industry attempts at categorization, Therapy? are still headbangers with their thinking caps screwed on tight."

Walk Through Darkness
Therapy? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get worn away
Seen many nights
And not enough days
I let it go
I cared less
The years to come
Bad ideas on bad drugs
Good intentions all destroyed
At the bottom of a barrel
Staring at a void
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
I walk through darkness
You came along
At the right time
Now your anchor holds
Me in this life
Things that I left buried
In my vacant years of shame
Only help me figure out
Time I can't regain
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
I walk through darkness
Things that I left buried
In my wasted years of shame
Only help me figure out
Time I can't regain
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
Just to carry you home
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
And I walk through darkness
Just to carry you home

Line by Line Meaning
I let it all
I allowed everything to just slip away, without putting in any effort to keep things together
Get worn away
Everything deteriorated over time, and became less and less important
Seen many nights
I've experienced a lot of darkness, hopelessness and despair in my life
And not enough days
I haven't had enough time to experience happiness, success or joy
I let it go
I stopped caring about everything, and began to accept that life is dark and meaningless
I cared less
I became emotionless and apathetic about everything in my life
The years to come
Looking ahead into the future, it felt like it was going to be bleak and unbearable
Seemed wasted breath
All hope felt lost, as if everything I did was pointless and meaningless
Bad ideas on bad drugs
I made poor decisions while using drugs and it only led to pain and destruction
Good intentions all destroyed
Even when I meant well, things never turned out the way I wanted them to
At the bottom of a barrel
I hit rock bottom, feeling trapped and hopeless in my life
Staring at a void
I was lost in my darkness, not knowing where to turn or how to pull myself out of it
You came along
Someone came into my life and changed everything for the better
At the right time
This person came into my life exactly when I needed them the most
Now your anchor holds
This person is like an anchor that keeps me stable and safe
Me in this life
This person is the reason that I am living and surviving
Things that I left buried
There were things that I had hidden and never dealt with in my life
In my vacant years of shame
During my darkest times in life, I was filled with shame and regret
Only help me figure out
Dealing with those buried things has helped me understand more about myself and my life
Time I can't regain
I can never go back and change what has happened, but I can learn from it and move forward
Just to carry you home
I would do anything, even walk through darkness, to make sure that the person I care about is safe and protected

For me ONE CURE FITS ALL is the best Therapy Album. The Lyrics, the melodies, the rhythms, the sound of production. And i know every Therapy Album. I know, many dont think so. Sorry for my bad english.
