Dark Dayz
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say down in Califony that the sun always shine
But I'm here to tell you bout a little place called the bass line
Coke snorters, dope smokers and pills
And if you got a couple bucks you can get your thrills
From a long black beauty at the bottom of the hill

She'll get you up
Get you down
Get You all around
She'll get you up
Get you down
Get You all around

I cant tell you it'll be alright
(okay)
I can't tell you it'll be ok
(alright)
I can't tell you that its all gonna be how you like
(welcome to the base line)

Dark Dayz and darker nights
Come get your kicks under the neon lights
Dark Dayz and darker nights
I said it's gonna be a long long ride
And we're gonna be up all night

I need a little more what you got for me
She said I got some of those and a bottle of these
Let's take a little walk down by the sea
I'll be the devil on you shoulder if you follow me
Follow me into the dark
She said got what you need if you got what I want

She'll get you up
Get you down
Get you all around
She'll get you up
Get you down
Get you all around

I can't tell you it'll be alright
(okay)
I can't tell you it'll be ok
(alright)
I can't tell you that its all gonna be how
You like
(welcome to the base line)

Dark Dayz and darker nights
Come get your kicks under the neon lights kicks
Dark Dayz and darker nights
I said it's going to be a long long ride
And we're gonna be up all night

We go on and on yeah

What if I told you that we may not make it back
Would you still roll if it was all I had to ask
My love I'm cold just keep on holding on

Dark Dayz and darker nights
Come get your fix under the neon lights
Dark Dayz and darker nights




Said its going to be a long long ride
And we're gonna be up all night

Overall Meaning

The song "Dark Dayz" by Unwritten Law depicts a place known as the "bass line" where drug addicts and dealers congregate. It talks about a woman who has access to various drugs, and how she can get one high and low, up and down, and all around. The lyrics also mention that the singer cannot guarantee that everything will be okay or how they prefer it to be. However, they invite the audience to welcome themselves to the bass line. The chorus mentions the dark days and nights, but also promises a long ride with endless kicks under the neon lights.


The song seems to highlight the dangers and allure of drug addiction. The "dark dayz" and "darker nights" could serve as a metaphor for the consequences of drug abuse, such as plunging into a dark abyss of addiction or experiencing dark and difficult times as a result of it. The chorus offers somewhat of a warning, implying that the "long ride" can be both exciting and dangerous. By using metaphors, the song suggests that the singer himself may feel lost in their journey.
