Song Meaning of “The Blackness – Dub” by Tigerskin
The Blackness – Dub is a deep and despairing track that echoes the despair of many seeking out meaning in life. The electronic and ambient tracks swirls ponder the darkness that can engulf us, hinting at the deep, boundless unknown of the world.
The lyrics, though there are few, speak of a void further beyond life and death, a void of unknowable truth. They suggest that although we search for revelations in the mundane world, we must find them in the darkness – the deepest, darkest corners of ourselves.
The melody is haunting – moving slowly and growing dimmer with each repetition. It echoes the closing in of this overwhelming darkness, set to an accompaniment of murmuring, discordant soundscapes. It speaks to our relentless pursuit of stability and security; though we attempt to fill the emptiness of our lives with material things, we will inevitably be faced with a void that we cannot fill.
The Blackness – Dub urges us to embrace these moments of true darkness, free of material attachments and fully embraced in the presence of the unknown. It suggests that it is within these moments we will find the answers we seek and the true sense of purpose that has been so long elusive.
