There's a very interesting concept to this song and that is actually Dementia. ….ikr Holy darkness dementia is a widely used term in churches mainly. The writer is trying to convey this disease through the lyrics of the song. "How long have I been away" the diseased has felt like they have been gone for ages which is a common feeling when someone is having a episode, some feel like they are reliving month worth of memories but have only 'blacked out' for an hour. This is the darkness that he is describing and although its only been a short while he comes back changed from the feeling, something is no longer right in his bones... dementia has got him (the darkness) and he is lost in his own woods of fears, isolation and confusion. He expresses the disease with his mind 'fucked with forces that our eyes cant see' he sees his struggle as a war against himself. Filled with torment and strange occurrences that he can no longer explain 'the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams' Towards the end of the song, with the echoes of the chorus it represents a almost fading sense...of sadly saying goodbye 'goodbye to who I was' and his constant fight in his mind even though others around him cant hear/see it 'don't look back those days are gone' trying to reinforce to himself to prevent the darkness/disease, trying to talk his mind out of causing a almost flashback black out. Woods can be seen as a dark, lonely place which hides dark secrets and memories...fears. The writer uses the feeling of 'woods' to convey the isolation that the diseased feel in the darkness...also representing with 'meet me in the woods tonight', a plea that he don't want to be alone anymore with his betraying mind...he needs a guide but also proof of what he is going through which no one not in the situation could ever understand...he wants to show them. Anyways quite a sad song if you re-listen with this perspective.. |

| Flora Cash – The Bad Boys Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
This song is all about a relationship and how they compare themselves with other couples they know or have heard of. When they state 'you and I have been here and countless others' they are expressing that although they are not working, arguing and obviously other issues...that many have also been where they are and all have worked out fine "They have broken through". They see it as a stage of every relationship, but now they are starting to realise its gone on for longer than expected or seen in other couples.. their efforts and sacrifices to make it work have started to 'blister' and it leaves the question of how long is to long to try? Which they believe...Is when its truly gone...when what they had in the start is 'truly' unreachable again that's the time to give up. Now Badboys in every movie are cool, unique they usually have some dark tormented past that led them to who they are..different then the entire nation of good boys. They see other couples as the good ones... they follow the normal trend of a relationship, they got out of that stage they didn't get stuck so they have decided they must be the bad boys as they got stuck in the torment of the past, never forgiving but always trying... the only thing is...the bad boys never win and they express that by their harsh comparison of themselves with 'yellow' to 'gold'... they use extended metaphors through out of getting old....not themselves but the relationship and as we know the 'golds' can last years and years. Sadly they are not the same..yellow will rust and decay...they will never be as powerful in love as the good ones. |
