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.
Additional information
Probable meaning - Darkshines is about a tempting (especially for 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.
Lyrics
Passing by, you light up my darkest skies You'll take only seconds to draw me in So be mine and your innocence I will consume Dark shines Bringing me down Making my heart feel sore 'Cause it's good Hold your hands up to your eyes again Hide from the scary scenes Suppress your fears So be mine and your innocence I will consume Dark shines Bringing me down Making my heart feel sore 'Cause it's good Your dark shines Bringing me down Making my heart feel sore 'Cause it's good Your dark shines Bringing me down Making my heart feel sore 'Cause it's good
Early live versions
An early live version had the following different second verse:
I don't know what ? It all seems so meaningless I hope you know it So be mine and your innocence I will consume
