Darkness

[Kains D]

It may be obvious to point out how important Darkness is for Katatonia. but I want to point out that it's more like a person, an entity that is like a mother that nurtures yet binds.

hmn, for me darkness is everything thats dark...

 

[Melancholia]

for me the word "darkness" is mostly associated with the feeling of darkness,the feeling that one is lost,that the "light" of life is gone, and less with the real abscence of light....

 

[LoboUivante]

darkness... thats what i cherish... what contains me... where i regain my strenght... Melancholia summed that pretty well

 

[_Transparent_]

nothing grows in darkness, and decays...which ties in with the BMD/sounds of decay album images and lyrics...

I hate the dark, but she loves me.

But check out how Darkness is representated in the lyrics of A Darkness Coming, Tonight's Decision, and In Death, A Song. It's different each time.

 

[falling bird]

for me darkness makes everything deeper. Things get more meaning and so do thoughts and feelings. In the dark i can focus my thoughts on things/feelings that really move me. There exists a silence just like someone killed every noise there was before.
Silence combined with darkness can really be a powerful unit giving you strength.
Talking of the other darkness,the one that is within us, for me darkness is the whole of every depressive/sad feeling like emptiness and fear, feeling lost, drifting.

 

[Wanderer]

Darkness..You can not know what it contains.it hides it's nature.Darkness is incomprehensible,mystery,unknowable (these are what we fear from)

 

[Kains D]

I agree with falling bird, I find my senses acute in the dark, and I feel like I can reach beyond matter onto spirit.
But I don't fear darkness, even the one that dwells inside me. For it's my strength and a part of me.
