==Description==
Darkshines is a bit Latin during the verses. The bass line is one of Muse's more difficult. It is powerful and has a wah-wah effect. Solos use a guitar trumpet effect, and the song features powerful distortion and chaos piano in the chorus.
==Matthew Bellamy definition of Darkshines==
"It's just about some hot girl, a chance meeting someone who you have a connection with. There's something a little bit dark about her, and it's asking why we're so desperately attracted to something of a dark nature." <ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref>


==Composition==
Part of the [[Simulation Theory Tour | Simulation Theory World Tour]].  
Darkshines is an alternative rock song, with elements of Spanish music. It's written in D minor and moves at a moderate tempo of 110 bpm. During the Leeds 2011 performance, the song was performed a half-step lower, playing in C# minor.


Bellamy's vocal range spans from E3 to F5.
== Information ==


==Additional information==
Announced on 11th February 2019, due to overwhelming demand, Muse have added a second show in Mexico City which took place on 2nd October. Tickets were available 13 February.
'''Probable meaning''' - Darkshines is about a tempting (especially for [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]]) girl who is entirely dark and moody. She appears to hide a dark secret, making her even more desirable (see [[Gothic Looking Women Fetish]]). The line 'your innocence, I will consume' indicates that the song is about a young girl, and gives the song a romantic connotation.


'''Alternative meaning''' - Darkshines is about depression. Dark Shines is a personification of depression, in the same way that the character Jack Frost is a personification of winter. Bellamy seems to sing the verses from Darkshines' point of view and the chorus from his own. In this interpretation, the lyrical theme is similar to that of [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]].
On a special video to MusersOfMuse (a Mexican fanbase) Dom said they would "definitely play [[Showbiz (song) | Showbiz]]" <ref>https://twitter.com/MusersOfMuse/status/1095021550447808512</ref>. It was not played on this first night, but the promise was held and they finally played Showbiz on the second night.


==Live==
First time Muse played a full set with the stage set-up similar to the [[Austin Circuit of the Americas 2019 (gig) | Austin]] one.


Debuted as "Dark Skies" and "Dark Shines" varying depending on the date, Darkshines was performed very often throughout May and early June 2000. Despite this, after Glastonbury Festival 2000, the band decided to stop performing Darkshines for the time being. It's entirely possible they thought they needed to rework the song's composition to make it a better song, or they were just tired of performing the song already (this is the less likely scenario). There are quite a few early Darkshines performances thankfully, with the majority of performances being audio recorded.
