In This Darkness

Clara La San's 'In This Darkness' is a poignant exploration of loneliness and the yearning for a past relationship. The song features a collaboration with Red Bandit, adding depth to the emotional landscape of the track. Clara La San, known for her soulful voice and electronic R&B style, delves into the feelings of being left in the dark after a significant other's departure. The recurring theme of darkness in the song serves as a metaphor for the confusion, sadness, and isolation that often accompany the end of a relationship.

The lyrics express a deep sense of longing, as the artist reflects on the absence of her partner and the impact it has on her emotional state. Phrases like 'I get lonely when you're not here' and 'this darkness appears, leaving me stranded' convey the profound emptiness felt when one is left alone. The darkness is not just a physical absence of light but represents the overwhelming emotional void that can't be easily filled. The repetition of 'And I keep falling in this darkness' emphasizes the continuous struggle and the inability to escape the emotional turmoil.

The song also touches on the theme of regret and the desire to return to better times, as indicated by the lines 'Wanna take it back to when we had it just like that, had it right on track.' This nostalgia for the past is a common sentiment following a breakup, where one reminisces about the happier moments and wishes to reclaim them. The artist's admission that there were 'a million things I could say' but the partner 'never really knew I felt this way' suggests a communication breakdown and unexpressed feelings that might have contributed to the relationship's demise. Overall, 'In This Darkness' is a heartfelt ballad that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a loved one and the struggle to find light in the ensuing darkness.
