The second track off ‘The Peruvian Project". Dark Times takes the listener on Jakob’s journey on reflecting about his past year and how he’s been struggling with relationships, friendships, drinking, smoking and where he’s at mentally. He incorporates his Machu Picchu hike as this is where most of t...
Intro:
Late last year was when things got really bad, like really really bad
I didn’t know who I was, what I wanted, or if I really wanted anything then I went to Peru and the people I met there really helped me out. Thank you thank you. Now I got family all around the world. Let’s get it
Verse 1:
Alright, last year was the first time that I felt different
Felt insignificant and the old me I was missing him
Had some personal troubles drinking increased by the double
All I saw was darkness, no light at the end of my tunnel
Only puzzle in my life that I couldn’t solve
Said you’d help me but I got no answer when I called
Smoking my emotions away so I no longer feel pain
Overthinking everything putting strain on my brain
Why am I this way? Why am I this guy?
But I guess I got to go through dark times if I wanna shine
Fuck that! They don’t end, we are no longer friends
I can’t pretend man I’ll just say it again
Going to all these locations are helping me with all my problems I’m facing
Solved the equation, time I’m not wasting, also remember that I am not Caucasian
Blazing my trail cuz I am a trend setter
Made it out the basement, now I just got wine cellars
Chorus:
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
You weren’t there for me before but now I’m doing just fine
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
Hope you make it through yours like I did with mine
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
You weren’t there for me before but now I’m doing just fine
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
Solving all of mine through each and every rhyme
Verse 2:
2015 to 2016 outta sight no self-esteem
Or confidence, really anything about me
Too deep in my own thoughts, swore I was drowning
Judgement hella cloudy, creating my own storm
Uphill battle, nah more like a fucking mountain
But Salkantay 4 nights and 5 days that trip was the illest
Not cuz I was actually sick but I survived my illness
Gotta shoutout my other half Max Renier
Him and I Indo Americano teammates
After the hike Loki Hostel gorillas in the mist we celebrate
So high off the altitude, coulda swore we levitate
Lost off all the ye, drinks all night we didn't hesistate
Finally got myself peace, didn’t need to meditate
Now its songs I create, life picture freeze frame
Now my time is money, have to win it like a sweepstakes
Or pay in advance, now that’s what I call prepaid
Chorus:
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
You weren’t there for me before but now I’m doing just fine
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
Hope you make it through yours like I did with mine
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
You weren’t there for me before but now I’m doing just fine
Dark times, dark times, we all got our dark times
Solving all of mine through each and every rhyme
Outro:
We all got dark times, some worse than others
Some have had their worst and others haven’t had shit yet
It’ll come, not to scare you, but only to prepare you
I was blindsided but then got reminded
That everything works out, If it seems like it isn’t working out, give it time, cuz in the end, you’ll be fine. Stay strong
