Decks Dark Lyrics

Then in your life, there comes the darkness
There's a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
And are we trapped? Rag-doll, cloth people
We are helpless to resist
Into our darkest hour

But it was just a laugh, just a laugh
Just a laugh, just a laugh
Even at this angle
And so we crumble
A ten ton head, made of wet sand
This dread circumference
You gotta be kidding me
The grass grows over me
Your face in the glass, in the glass
It was just a laugh, just a laugh
It's whatever you say it is
Split infinity

Then into your life, there comes a darkness
And a spacecraft blocking out the sky
And there's nowhere to hide
You run to the back and you cover your ears
But it's the loudest sound you've ever heard
Into your darkest hour

When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling

When you've had enough of me
When you've had enough of me
Sweet darling
Sweet darling
Sweet darling
Sweet darling

What is the Meaning of Decks Dark?

When the extraterrestrial metaphor meets existential dread, you know you're in Radiohead territory. "Decks Dark" is a cosmic ride through the human psyche's shadowy corridors. The spacecraft symbolises an overpowering force - perhaps depression, anxiety or any life-altering event that blocks out happiness (the sky). Despite attempts to escape (running back and covering ears), it's unignorable - the loudest sound ever heard. Yet, amidst this darkness, there's a hint of self-deprecating humor ("just a laugh") and acceptance ("it's whatever you say it is"). It ends with a plea for release from emotional burdens ("when you've had enough of me"). So buckle up, folks! This tune is your spaceship to introspection. #ExistentialRock #RadioheadRealityCheck #SpacecraftOfTheMind
