Darkness
U.S. Bastards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have i done
Running on empty - i got nowhere to run
Can't get an answer
Can't get it right
Just try to make it
'till the end of the night
Is there a way to avoid doing wrong
Lead me away from the darkness
Light up my day show me where i belong
Please don't leave me all alone in the darkness
Far in the distance
There is night, there is day
Sounds are waving nets of dismay
Sometimes i'm stuck in a shocking delay
Like in a slow motion movie
I'm reaching out for something to hold
Life slips away in the cold - in the cold
My heart is so cold - my heart is so cold
Why was i turned down
What's going on
I wish there was something that could have been done
How can i get there
Where is the light
How can i make it
'till the end of the night
How can i turn darkness to light
Leaving my fear in the darkness
Is there a way how can i overcome
My restless night's and my fear - and my fear
In the darkness - in the darkness - in the darkness
The lyrics in "Darkness," by U.S. Bastards, can be interpreted as a plea for guidance and acceptance. The first few lines express feelings of confusion and despair, away from the light and with no clear path to follow. The singer seems to be searching for answers as they run blindly into the unknown, making mistakes they don't understand.
The chorus seeks deliverance from this state of being, asking for someone to lead them out of the darkness and into the light. The third verse paints a picture of a vast, unknown territory filled with both day and night, and filled with things that can bring sorrow and confusion. The singer seems to be trapped in time, experiencing life in slow motion but unable to gain any foothold to grasp onto.
The final verse again seeks hope, as the singer tries to avoid making the same mistakes again. They hope to overcome their fears and restless nights and become free from darkness. The song can be seen as a symbol for the overall message of the band's music, which is to find hope and deliverance from the darkness of everyday life.
