Darkness Lyrics

This song creates such a sad but beautiful atmosphere around me everytime I listen to it!

At first, it sounds as if it was just describing the feelings of someone who's suffering from a depression at the moment. However, with the lines "I could be replaced by any bright star" and "Instead of worrying about my clothes ..." they make it very clear that it's about the dark sides of being famous.

I also love the line "Life was easy when it was boring" - this is somehow true, I often thought the same during the more exciting but also exhausting periods in my life.
