Darker Days
little world Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your mouth is moving not making any sound
We're moving through some darker days
We're moving through some darker days
Now who is that man moving in next door?
"You know they don't look like you or me anymore"
So in god we trust
& The rest pay cash
"Cause the good old days are gone now
& They aint comin back"
We're moving through some darker days
No flower power no purple haze
We're moving through some darker days
Darker days
Now we see where we are coming from
Past to guide us to a different tune
Watching & waiting, fortunes to wager, no one is coming
To save us from ourselves
When the worst of us is at the helm
What else can you do but raise a little hell
We're moving through some darker days
No flower power no purple haze
We're moving through some darker days

The song 'Darker Days' by Little World touches upon various aspects of the society we live in. The lyrics of the song primarily talk about the hardships that people are facing in today's times. It starts with the lines "When black is white & up is down, When your mouth is moving not making any sound," which signifies the confusion and bewilderment people are experiencing in today's world where everything seems to be contradictory and uncertain. The references to racial discrimination and the line "they don't look like you or me anymore" highlight the growing distance between people and the rise in prejudices in society.
The chorus of the song "We're moving through some darker days, No flower power no purple haze, Darker days" emphasize the sense of despair and hopelessness that people have in the present times, with no end to the struggles in sight. The line "In god we trust & The rest pay cash" commentary on the prevailing culture of materialism, where money has become the primary driving force, and people have lost faith in the system. The third verse of the song "Watching & waiting, fortunes to wager, no one is coming, To save us from ourselves" very aptly describes the current scenario, where everyone is waiting and watching, but no one seems to be willing to take action to change things for the better.
In short, the song 'Darker Days' is about the social, political, and economic issues that people are grappling with in today's world, and it highlights the need for individuals to stand together and raise their voices against the injustices prevailing in the society.
