Mörkare
slowgold Lyrics

At the beginning of the first verse of Slowgold's song Mörkare, the singer asks if the person she is addressing can "feel the weight of the chains" that she has bound to them. This is a metaphorical way of saying that the person is carrying a burden or responsibility that the singer has placed on them. The singer then wonders if the only time that they were able to find light was when they were younger, and suggests that now they are lost in darkness. She questions where her own darkness ends and the rest begins, implying a sense of confusion or loss of self. She acknowledges that to become accustomed to darkness, you need a lot of time. She then contrasts with the listener's view, saying that it isn't dark yet, and that it can get darker. The singer suggests that it is not necessarily easy, but it should have been easier when the person was with her.

In the second verse, the singer confronts the listener, suggesting that they have walked down this path many times before without ever stopping to talk. She is tired of waiting, and has told them this before. She is tired of dreaming, and is asking the listener to stop giving her false hope so they can move on with their lives. Despite the listener's view that it is already dark, the singer believes that things can get darker, and acknowledges that it won't be easy, but it should have been easier if the listener had stayed with her.
