In a Darkened Room Lyrics

In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed
And the innocence of a child is bought and sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left silent and cold

Forgive me please for I know not what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true

Well tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room

All the precious times have been put to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust
And watch it crystallize
While my salvation it crumbles to dust

Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore

Tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room

What is the Meaning of In a Darkened Room?

This melancholic melody from Skid Row is a raw exploration of the human soul, swathed in shadows and grappling with guilt. It's like an anguished confession in the confessional box of a dimly lit cathedral, where one seeks redemption but is haunted by past sins. The lyrics delve into the dichotomy of love and betrayal, innocence lost, and the struggle to find light amidst darkness. They talk about a kiss that morphs into a lie, suggesting deception in close relationships. The song also alludes to futile attempts at navigating life's stormy seas. So basically, it's about life kicking you in the shins while you're trying to figure out which way is up!
