Darkness Lyrics
Born a joneser
The cops pull out the radar
And shoot devious grins
Another day begins
I want someone to know me
Maybe tell me who I am
'Cause I've faced down my demons
And cried out to a god
A god I've never seen
Lights
And the world darkens around me
Strange friends all surround me
New ideas in my head start to burn
Dropped out of schools 'cause of things that I never learned
And the world darkens around me
World darkens around me, yeah
World darkens around me, yeah
I want you to love me
Like you did before you knew me
And I never thought there'd be any help for somebody like me
A vacancy
Say
'Cause the world darkens around me
Strange friends all surround me
New ideas in my head start to burn
Trust no one, that's the one thing that I've learned
'Cause the world darkens around me
World darkens around me, yeah
Bring me the sun 'cause I slide off the moon
Bring me the sun
Slide off the moon
Yeah you better get home soon
There's no hope for people like you and me
There's no hope for people
Slide off the moon
Bring me the sun 'cause I slide off the moon
Bring me the sun
Slide off the moon
This song is the exact way I feel about things. Life is so screwed up and you just want some simple, but so complicated things, and the whole world always seems to be darkening around you.
I agree completely with riskbreaker, this song (for me) epitomizes the shitty burnt out feeling you get after you've been down for a long time. It's like where you're at the point that you don't even feel sad or depressed, you just feel gone and nothing will bring you back.
wow so true, your just basically completely shattered and given up completely. darkness is your only friend sucks. to. be. completely. alone.

"I want you to love me Like you did before you knew me And I never thought there'd be any help for somebody like me A vacancy"
He wants her to love him the way they were initially; she didn't know him. She didn't know him, because he isn't anyone (or at least that's how he feels "a vacany" and he's asking for someone to "tell me who I am" because he doesn't know who he he is). She found something about him attractive-even if it was ephemeral and now is gone or the face he put on for everyone to hide his vacancy. He wants her love-even if she isn't seeing him for him. He doesn't think there would be any help or companionship for someone who is empty and has nothing to offer-"a vacancy"
Stephan said this song is inspired by the book "Jesus' Son". Not that ive read it....
I never read "Jesus' Son" but i saw the movie. Its about a Cocaine or heroin addict. And how he wants to be clean but he cant. I dont know how it totally links to that... But i think in the there is a reference to darkness. Im pretty sure my friend showed me.
Tis most definately about the book "Jesus' Son"....read the book....you'll understand. The movie isn't an amazingly good depiction of the book
3eb never ceases to amaze me. i love this song.
my favorite line is, "i want someone to know me, maybe tell me who i am, cause i've faced down my demons and cried out to a god, a god i've never seen."
i don't know if this song has a religious aspect to it, however i do feel that it shows him reaching out through the darkness to find...relief?
Peace,
