"Dark Matter" Lyrics (Official)

"DARK MATTER"

Steal the light from our eyes
Drain the blood from our hearts
In all of this dark matter
Take the breath from our chest
Break the thoughts in our mind
We're losing time, dark matter

Denounce the demigods
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law

It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake

Eroding away
We're pulling apart
In all of this dark matter
I once heard it said
And it stuck in my head
Arrested the press
No one knows what happened next

Renounce the demagogues
King diamond to discard
Deploy the dialogue
Your word against the law

It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake

No tolerance for intolerance or
No patience left for impatience no more
No love lost for
Lost loves
No sorrow for
The unaccountable

It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake
This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake

(Thanks, LizJ.)

Denounce the demagogues
Came down to destroy...

Your word against the law

No love lost for lost love

Your word against the law?

Your word against the Lord?

JR86440 · February 13

Denounce the demigods / king diamond to discard / deploy the dialog / your word against the law,” he sings before the chorus, which carries the repeated couplet “it’s strange these days, when everybody else pays for someone else’s mistake / this blame takes shape, still everybody else pays for someone else’s mistake.”

JR86440 · February 13

No tolerance for intolerance or / no patience left for impatience no more / no love lost for lost loves / no sorrow for the unaccountable.” A

There we go, I couldn't figure that out, but this sounds right

Spunkie · February 13

Maybe something along the lines of

How much should I fear
... hell

In those 2 missing verses?

Spunkie · February 13

That first stanza missing word mainline?

For someone elses duh stay

No pull in a park

And all of there is is

Dark Matter

No waste uh duh stair

And a stick on my head

A wrist uh duh prezz

Noone knows uh what happened next

Renounce the demi god

Nice job on the lyrics. I think they are pretty close.

We are so close to each other in length. Are you sure he's not pissed off at some stick on his head tho?

I think you might have stumbled onto the lyrics to "Yellow Ledbetter."

Nice job on the lyrics. I think they are pretty close.

A few more things to work out, but I don't want to overplay this song just yet. I'll revisit it tomorrow (or hopefully someone else will figure it out before then).

EDIT: Also, when you have something to say-- which this song clearly does-- a lyric video would have been welcome.

2nd half of the 2nd verse:

I once had a sin
stuck in my head
Arrested the press
no one knows what happened next

I'm hearing "There's blame to share still everybody else pays for someone else's mistake."

Court46 · February 13

I literally just posted my take on Reddit, and I didn't get anywhere near as close as you guys.

Gonna put a link here.

We're pulling apart
In all of this dark matter

Everyone is depressed. No one knows whats happening next

Everybody loves pears, they're hidden under the stairs.....is my wife and kids take

Force Of Nature · February 13

Take the blood from my chest
Take the thoughts from my mind?

Khuntza · February 13

My take... made a few edits.

Steal the life from our eyes

Take my blood from my heart

We're in all of this dark matter

Take the breaths from my chest

With the thoughts in my mind

We're losing time, dark matter

Denounce the demigods

Came down and to destroy

Deploy the dialogue

Your word against the law

It's strange these days

When everybody else pays

For someone else's mistake

Displayin' distaste

'Til everybody else pays

For someone else's mistake

You're running away

You're pulling apart

In all of this dark matter

I want you to sit

And sit with my hand

Or is it the press

No one knows what happens next

Renounce the demigods

Came down and to destroy

Deploy the dialogue

Your word against the law

It's strange these days

When everybody else pays

For someone else's mistake

Displayin' distaste

'Til everybody else pays

For someone else's mistake

No tolerance for intolerance or

No patience left for impatience no more

No love lost for lost loves

No sorrowing for the unaccountable

It's strange these days

When everybody else pays

For someone else's mistake

Displayin' distaste

'Til everybody else pays

For someone else's shame

i swear to god he says cannibal in there somewhere

wolfamongwolves · February 13

I definitely hear "Deplore the dialogue" and "display distaste". Which seem to match each other thematically.

bk159954 · February 13

This blame takes chase
til everybody else pays

I'm questioning myself now....
I think it might be "There's blame to shame".

I'm also not hearing the s in "happens" so I think that it might be "No one knows what happened next". And so that indecipherable verse might be in the past tense. Because to me, it sounds like it started "I once... "

EH14457 · February 13

I think that middle line of the chorus might be “Display cliches”. It fits thematically, and if I listen with that in mind I literally can’t hear anything else. 🤷🏻‍♂️

BSully · February 13

Nice job on figuring some of these out.
