Darker Still is the third single and title track from Parkway Drive’s seventh release, Darker Still.
The song tackles the emotion of the end of the world, where everything is seemingly becoming worst. Vocalist Winston McCall says through the new issue of Metal Hammer;
Things like like they’re real...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I’m buying acres in the sky
And building stairs with every lie
With every step I make her cry
Until I die, until I die
[Verse 2]
I’m swinging hard for all my life
Reaching across this great divide
Until I see the other side
Until I die, until I die
[Chorus]
And the night grows darker still
And the night grows darker still
And the night grows dark, darker still
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I’m swimming deep into her eyes
I’m swimming strong, but won’t survive
The dark, the blue, I cannot fight
Until I die, until I die
[Verse 4]
I’m wishing hard upon the night
With every wish, a new star dies
But bright, the light behind her eyes
Until I die, until I die
[Chorus]
And the night grows darker still
And the night grows darker still
And the night grows dark
[Instrumental Break]
Darker still!
[Bridge]
Until I die, until I die!
(And the night grows darker still)
Until I die, until I die!
(And the night grows darker still)
Until I die, until I die! (Ohhhhhh)
(And the night grows darker still)
(And the night grows dark)
[Outro]
And the night grows darker still
And the night grows darker still
And the night grows dark
