Darker by Echoes of Nyx is a tale of internal conflict, self-loathing, and the difficulty of escaping toxic cycles, all wrapped in the oppressive weight of emotional darkness.
The lyrics tell a dark and introspective story about a person’s struggle with inner turmoil and a toxic relationship. She feels trapped in a cycle of self-hatred and despair, trying repeatedly to escape but constantly falling back into old, damaging patterns.
“Darker” becomes a familiar place and a known entity. Her self-hatred intensifies, dragging her deeper into this dark, destructive place, until she reaches the lowest point, symbolized by the haunting words, “you’re below.”

Lyrics
There’s a dream where I like to stay
Everything delivered on a tray
Tried to leave devoid of a snit
Kicked myself, back to shit
Going back to my existence
Feckless soul, isn’t that what you wanted
Find the place where I can be resisted
Wait it out until you’re not vaunted
Darker
I’m glowing from the inside
Darker
Two sides of the same coin
Darker
You make me hate myself
Darker’s the face of my life
I can’t breathe, so I better break free
The most difficult thing turning that key
I try so hard to exit this shit
Kicked myself, back to shit, back to my relationship
Going back to my subsistence
A reckless soul, isn’t that what I wanted
Find the place where I can be abandoned
Wait it out ‘til the end of existence
Darker
I’m glowing from the inside
Darker
Two sides of the same coin
Darker
You make me hate myself
Darker’s the face of my life
Darker, the place that I go
Darker, somebody we know
Darker, still my hate grows
‘til you’re below
Darker, the place that I go
Darker, somebody we know
Darker, still my hate grows
‘til you’re below
