Passing by you light up my darkest skies
You'll take only seconds to draw me in
So be mine and your innocence I will consume
dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
hold your hands up to your eyes again
Hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears
So be mine and your innocence I will consume
dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good
You're dark shines
Bringing me down
Making my heart feel sore
Because it's good

I think that he is in a 'relationship' with a girl much younger. Say 15/16. He and this girl .... you know.... but this girl doesn't know what she's doing. He know's its wrong, but keeps pushing it to the back of his mind, trying to ignore the fact that he's taking away her innocence, cause it's 'good'.
But these conflicting emotions are slowly making him lose his mind.
I'm only 14, so sorry if this is all wrong!
Love this song though. It makes me cry
i think that whoever it was that said that this is about the person bringing about bellamy's darkest traits/qualities is right, she brings out the worst in him, and also that this is hinting that the girl is so wonderful that she lights up even the darkest of skies
you'll take only seconds to draw me in
'draw me in' implies action, that the person intentionally drew him in
so be mine and your innocence i will consume
in possessing and knowing whatever quality the girl has which makes bellamy giddy, he destroys it, he can never truly possess her innocence without destroying it, at least in his mind
dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
i think that this is about bellamy possessing/taking the girls innocence, and yet lamenting it at the same time
because it's good
not sure what he means by this... maybe hes ashamed of himself for enjoying taking the girls innocence
hold your hands up to your eyes again
hide from the scary scenes, suppress your fears
so be mine and your innocence i will consume
i think that this verse is about the girl coming to dislike bellamy, and his 'darkest skies' which she brings out in him
dark shines
i think that dark shines is about the metaphorical light which lights up bellamy's darkest skies, which is saying that while he loves this girl, he is at his worst around her
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
because it's good
you're dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
because it's good
overall i think that this song is about a girl which bellamy can never truly have/possess, because he sees her as being so amazing that disappointment is inevitable. Also, her innocence is what draws him in, and she will never be truly innocent in his mind while he has a relationship with her. On top of that, she brings out his worst traits, so he makes her afraid of him, and maybe she leaves him, so thats why hes 'sore'... maybe not.
in a grander sense, this song is about seeing/wanting something which you can never have, or, worse, having it, and in doing so, destroying its beauty, which you find out never existed.
Darkshines is about depression. Dark Shines is a personification of depression, in the same way that the character Jack Frost is a personification of winter. Bellamy seems to sing the verses from Darkshines' point of view and the chorus from his own.
But now I think it's about the whole promiscuous sex/groupie thing that has been mentioned.
Because, in the chorus;
'dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
because it's good'
I believe this is Matt, or whoever the song is about saying that sleeping with these (young, innocent) women is good, however, it's bringing him down emotionally because it makes his heart feel sore, perhaps because he desires something more, which may be love, a real relationship etc.
Love is within our heart, and this may be heartbreak.
I don't know, but that's how I feel about it.
