E
Shadows are falling
A
and I've been here all
E
day
It's too hot to sleep and
A
time is running
E
away
B
Feel like my
B/A
soul has
G#m
turned
F#
into
E
steel
C#m
I've still got the s
B
cars that the s
A
un didn't h
E
eal
B
There's not even
B/A
room enough to
G#m
be any
F#
where
  
E

C#m
It's not dark
B
yet, but i
A
t's getting
E
there

E
Well my sense of humani
A
ty is going down the
E
drain
E
Behind every beautiful thing,
A
there's been some kind of
E
pain
B
She wrote me a
B/A
letter and she
G#m
wrote it
F#
so ki
E
nd
C#m
She put down in
B
writin' what was
A
in her
E
mind
B
I just don't see
B/A
why I
G#m
should even
F#m
care
  
E

C#m
It's not dark y
B
et, but it's g
A
etting
E
there

E
Well I been to London
A
and I been to gay
E
Paris
E
I followed the river
A
and I got to the
E
sea
B
I've been down to the
B/A
bottom of a
G#m
world full
F#
of lies
C#m
I ain't lookin for
B
nothin' in
A
anyone's
E
eyes
B
Sometimes my
B/A
burden is
G#m
more than
F#
I can
E
bear

C#m
It's not dark y
B
et, but i
A
t's getting
E
there

E
I was born here and I'll die here,
A
against my
E
will
E
I know it looks like I'm movin'
A
but I'm standin'
E
still
B
Every nerve in my
B/A
body is so n
G#m
aked a
F#
nd nu
E
mb
C#m
I can't even remember what it
B
was I came here to
A
get away from
  
E
B
Don't even
B/A
hear the
G#m
murmur of
F#
a pra

C#m
It's not dark

Du même artiste :

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désespoir et de lassitude face aux épreuves de la vie. L’artiste ressent une pesanteur, comme si son âme avait été altérée par un poids insupportable, et il partage l’idée que derrière chaque beauté se cache une souffrance. Il traverse des lieux emblématiques, cherchant peut-être une échappatoire, mais se sent finalement bloqué dans une stagnation douloureuse, n’arrivant même plus à prêter attention à une prière muette. Le message central est celui d'une lutte contre l'obscurité, même si elle s'installe lentement.
