Annotations and Meaning.
[Chorus]
The chorus of Darkest Lullaby captures the essence of the song's emotional weight, expressing the pain of love and the confusion of not knowing one's direction. The "darkest lullaby" symbolizes a desire to return to a comforting, albeit melancholic, state.[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the lyrics describe the highs and lows of a tumultuous relationship. The imagery of being "down in the doldrums" and the conflicting feelings on the dance floor highlight the instability and passion that characterize this love.[Chorus]
Reiterating the intense feelings from the first chorus, the protagonist struggles with the torment of love and the yearning to restart from a simpler beginning.[Verse 2]
The second verse delves into the aftermath of the relationship, where the protagonist is left feeling like a ghost under the spell of their former lover. The repeated lines "so glad I met ya, so sad I can't forget you" emphasize the bittersweet nature of their connection.[Chorus]
Once more, the chorus reinforces the emotional upheaval experienced by the protagonist, ending on the haunting note of the "darkest lullaby."[Outro]
The outro echoes the chorus, emphasizing the heartache and the persistent impact of the love that tears the protagonist apart. Serge Pizzorno has noted that Darkest Lullaby is inspired by a fictional 1970s film that never existed, with the music video serving as a trailer for this imagined movie. This adds a layer of nostalgic and cinematic depth to the song's narrative, blending the lines between reality and fantasy.Darkest Lullaby by Kasabian
Oh, my love tears me apart
Oh, I don't know where I'm going now
Can we get back to the darkest lullaby?
[Verse 1]
I was afraid we'd gotten so high
Down in the doldrums and hearing your lie
Always complaining and never the same, aw
And out on the dance floor, the lighting down low
Passion for danger, I'm feeling your flow
And for a moment forgetting the pain
[Chorus]
Oh, my love tears me apart
Oh, I don't know where I'm going now
Can we get back to the start?
Inside my mind, I try to find
Oh, I don't know where I'm going now
When you sing me your darkest lullaby
[Verse 2]
You tell me it's over, I'm wishing you well
I'm just a ghost living under your spell
Keeping your secrets, it's all in the game, aw
So glad, so glad I met ya
So glad, so glad I met ya
So sad I can't forget you now
[Chorus]
Oh, my love tears me apart
Oh, I don't know where I'm going now
Can we go back to the start?
Inside my mind, I try to find
Oh, I don't know where I'm going now
When you sing me your darkest lullaby
[Outro]
Tears me apart
Oh, my love tears me apart
