I think this song is about losing someone very close to you, as Matt was thinking about his dog, Miyuki, when writing this.
“I never told anyone this, but “the darkness of my mind” was written about Miyuki when I thought I was losing her at the time of diabetes.”
-Matt Heafy on an instagram post
[Verse 1]
A wreath built of withered roses
How long till it decomposes
I don't think I can make it through this life
Without you
Of all the storms I've had to weather
You were my guiding light
In our last moments spent together
I tried to help you fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I plead with sorrow
(As it swallows me down)
I'm sinking in misery
(Won't you finally let me drown?)
[Chorus]
The darkness of my mind
Where life and death divide
The ending of mankind
Demise is our design
(A wreath built of withered roses)
[Verse 2]
I curse the heavens for their thievery
You robbed me of my light
Faith is rewarded with your treachery
I've lost my will to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I plead with sorrow
(As it swallows me down)
I'm sinking in misery
(Won't you finally let me drown?)
[Chorus]
The darkness of my mind
Where life and death divide
The ending of mankind
Demise is our design
The darkness of my mind
I seek, what will I find?
There's nothing when we die
Fear leave me behind
[Bridge]
How much longer must I face
A world imploding, falling grace?
How much longer must I face
My self-exploding, I'm erased
[Interlude]
Light becomes darkness
Light becomes darkness
[Guitar Solo]
Light becomes darkness
Light becomes darkness
(A world imploding, falling grace)
[Chorus]
The darkness of my mind
Where life and death divide
The ending of mankind
Demise is our design
The darkness of my mind
I seek, what will I find?
There's nothing when we die
Fear leave me behind
