Dark Room
Valley's Eve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Together with the dust of time
The lie - your heart desires
Gives you wings
The only one who wants it
To return one day
In a dark room we watch alone
In a dark room we watch alone
You and I
In a world of sin we die
Gain back everything by force
Give a part of it to me
And think about nothing
The deep fall will be my pain
My past will be my future
I have to leave it behind me
Submerged in time
With the burning fire of yesterday
If the believe will die
You'll be a human without a heart
Then truth has no sense any longer
In a dark room we watch alone
In a world of sin and pain
In a dark room we watch alone
You and I
In a world of sin we die
The lyrics of Valley's Eve's song "Dark Room" depict someone who is grappling with their inner demons in the darkness of their own soul. They are haunted by painful memories that they can't escape from, and are seeking refuge in a lie that they have convinced themselves is their heart's desire. This lie gives them the strength to keep going, but they are acutely aware that they are the only one who wants it. They long to return to a time when things were simpler, when they didn't have to carry the weight of their past on their shoulders.
The theme of the dark room appears throughout the song, and it's clear that this is where the singer goes when they want to confront their pain head-on. In this room, they are alone with their thoughts and their memories, and they watch as the world goes on without them. They are trapped in a cycle of sin and pain, and they know that they will eventually succumb to its grip.
The final verse speaks to the idea that the truth is essential to living an authentic life. If you lose your belief in what is true and right, you become "a human without a heart." Truth is what gives life meaning and purpose, and without it, everything falls apart. The song is a powerful reflection on the human experience of grappling with pain and loss, and the ways in which we try to cope with and overcome these challenges.
