Breaking Free from Deception: UNI.T's 'Dark News'
UNI.T's song 'Dark News' delves into the emotional turmoil and liberation that comes with breaking free from a deceptive relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and the subsequent realization of self-worth. The opening lines, 'And begged pardon for the lies.. and swore to god / You didn't realize.. and you seek to get unblind..,' suggest a partner's attempt to apologize and seek forgiveness for their dishonesty. However, the narrator sees through these empty apologies, recognizing that they are not the 'flavour' their partner seeks, indicating a mismatch in desires and values.
The recurring theme of misunderstanding is evident in the lines, 'What if in that paper.. where I wrote I was a fool for you.. / misunderstood the message.. you thought I did belong to you.. but that wasn't right.' Here, the narrator reflects on how their expressions of love were misinterpreted as a sign of ownership by their partner. This miscommunication highlights the imbalance in the relationship, where one party assumed control over the other. The narrator's firm stance against this notion is clear in the repeated assertion, 'don't belong to you, don't belong to you.'
The song's chorus, 'Take your choice and make a link.. take your baggage's and your magazines.. if you are leaving, leave, be gone.. but don't come back again with sorries.. with your damn I'm so sorry,' emphasizes the narrator's resolve to move on. They are tired of the insincere apologies and are ready to sever ties completely. The final lines, 'wasn't just a crime to believe in us, wasn't a waste of time / but, don't belong to you, don't belong to you,' encapsulate the bittersweet realization that while the relationship had its moments, it ultimately wasn't meant to be. The narrator acknowledges the value of their experience but firmly asserts their independence and self-worth.
