A Darkness Coming

The acoustics in this are neat

Making a synthesis of what the lyrics express, you get that someone is perceiving a situation that brings up a heavy feeling and from some unknown source a phenomenon starts to produce a dark atmosphere.

Noone but the subject that perceived the upcoming scenery the knows the causes of the consequences related to the sequence of events in that lapse of time.

Though, the passive subject that observes the development of facts stays still and just accept the circumstances as they are intended to be.

This is exactly how things seem to run at Donnie Darko's movie.

If you watched the movie (or not) you must remember (or be now introduced) to the very idea of the plot in which "On October 2, 1988, in the small town of Middlesex, Virginia, troubled teenager Donnie Darko sleepwalks outside led by a mysterious voice. Once outside, he meets a figure in a monstrous rabbit costume who introduces himself as Frank and tells Donnie that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds." (more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko)

The scenery that lyrics may describe seems to fit exactly to the moment when Donnie stops beside his car that is in front of his house, puts his left hand at his stomach and sees a dark cloud formation above his house - exactly above his room, where the airplane's turbine will fall).

That could be a true interpretation of the lyrics if the movie would have been released previously than Katatonia's Tonight's Decision album.

While Tonight's Decision it's said to be released at August 31st, 1999 (see https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Katatonia/Tonight%27s_Decision/390), the Donnie Darko movie was released only almost two years after the releasement of the music album (January 19, 2001 (Sundance) October 26, 2001 (United States) - see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_ql_dt_2).

Listen to this song and watch ABC'S LOST and see if this would be an excellent theme song.
