Twilight
suicide file Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I realized what a grotesque thing a rose is
I've been grasping at a light that seems just out of reach
But just close enough to blind me
It's getting fucking dark
It's getting fucking dark
It's getting fucking dark
It's getting fucking dark
'Cause I've never noticed that this sand isn't turning into gold
It's all just decadence for the sake of decadence
For the sake of carelessness
And everybody who wears it so well
And we won't see them again
And we won't see them again
It's getting fucking dark
It's getting fucking dark
The lyrics of Suicide File's "Twilight" seem to convey a sense of disillusionment and despair about the world. The first two lines of the song talk about seeing two eyes staring down from a valley of ashes, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling like everything around you is falling apart. The next line describes a realization about the grotesqueness of a rose, which could suggest that beauty is fleeting or that there is a darker side to things that often goes unnoticed.
The next lines describe the singer's struggle to find meaning or direction in life. They talk about grasping at a light that is just out of reach, but close enough to blind them. This could represent an ambition or a goal that they can't quite reach, but that is still affecting them in negative ways. The repetition of "It's getting fucking dark" suggests a growing sense of hopelessness or a feeling that things are getting worse.
The final stanza seems to suggest that the world is full of decadence and carelessness, and that people are playing their part in perpetuating it. The line "And we won't see them again" suggests a sense of finality or the idea that once people become caught up in this way of life, it's hard to break free. The overall impression of the song is one of darkness and despair, with a sense of resignation that things will not get better.
