"I Have A Darkness" is a haunting song by Norwegian singers Jenny Hval and Susanna. The lyrics describe a deep sense of inner struggles and the desire to be submerged in them. The darkness symbolizes the pain and discomfort that lies within all of us, and the singers invite listeners to embrace it and allow it to consume them fully. The opening lines "Come on and be swallowed, Come on in and you'll drown" suggest surrendering to this darkness and allowing oneself to be overwhelmed by it. The song acknowledges that these feelings can be overwhelming and difficult to handle, but encourages the listener to face them head-on instead of avoiding them. The second verse talks about finding solace in nature, represented by "days out on the hills" where "sparks do find us." The imagery of "honey dew" suggests a desire for sweetness and comfort amidst the darkness. Overall, "I Have A Darkness" is a raw and introspective exploration of the complexities of the human psyche, and a reminder that sometimes, the only way out is through.
