Moby - This Wild Darkness Lyrics






Apportioned like madness in season
Bracing all like a breaking of reason
With every night lost, and every day torn
With a drama feeling calmer it's a comma in the storm
Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain
I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wire
And night, I'll never be free

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stand on my own anymore
I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
I can't break what I held and it never was true
In the mirror what I said was I lied to you
And me and everything I see and everything I could
I tried so hard to be good
For myself, for you, for the hidden and divine
For everything but I can fail just so many times

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

I can't stop when I feel like stopping
At 5 A.M. just cry, shoot, copping
The perfect life was enough for you
But never enough to see me through
For all the lies that were spoken in ways
And the way we lived as an affront to the days
It was an affront to the things that we cared about
Was an affront to everything that we cared about

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

Ooh, in this darkness
Please light my way
Light my way

    Maybe someone can help me out. Very late to enjoying Moby, I was extremely busy with work & family during his early career. I recall seeing a video from the 90's or 00's.... Moby entered a surreal bar where everyone is drinking milk. He orders what looks like a normal alcoholic drink, and the patrons become an angry mob, holding him down and forcing him to drink milk. Sound familiar anyone? I could have it completely botched, but thanks for reading through.

  4. D.... I....

    man keep doing what you do best and that is music.keep the quality do what you like i like your music because you don't do it for the money you don't copy what sells you do music that you like.this is what all artists should do music that you feel not music with the thought of getting rich and sell many records

  24. T.... D....

    i listen to a bit of everything, from fast to slow, from slipknot to pavarotti, but many i have to hear several times to like, but with Moby, there's so many i love from the first time i hear them. some artists play the same type of tune and are quickly forgotten. so Moby, you have the secret.....and eminem, bow down to your superior. nobody listens to what???? your noise was ok temporarily, but Moby left you in the gutter.

  25. M.... M....

    When the woman does the loud solo, wow! Goosebumps!

    i love you buddy, your sensitivity comes through the few notes you whisper, the words you soeak and the images you show , they tell so much ..... feelin tears in my eyes and watchin this video, reminded me ,why i started to love you back in the day.....cause you carry on being one of us, a normal man , who has thoughts and doubts, fears and demons, like we all have, and you don t show a super hero image made from plastic..... your world is lights and darkness, it comes out of the music, and that s what we all are..... thanx for another amazing song

    [verse 1]
    apportioned like madness in season
    bracing all like a breaking of reason
    with every night lost and every day torn
    with a drama feeling calmer, it's a comma in the storm
    speakers are crying like a forest in the rain
    i was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
    and the darkness closed like a mouth on a wire
    and night, i'll never be free


    [chorus]
    ooh, in this darkness
    please light my way
    light my way


    ooh, in this darkness
    please light my way
    light my way


    [verse 2]
    i can't stand on my own anymore
    i can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
    i can't break what i held and it never was true
    in the mirror what i said was a lie to you
    and me and everything i see and everything i could

    What a deep song !!! rare to find a treasure like this

  51. S.... M....

    The media and Natalie Portman can keep talking trash and I WILL STILL LOVE MOBY no matter what. He's been honest about all his hardships in life, why would he lie about dating someone? Especially post "me too" movement. He's not a careless person and still has nothing but good things to say of Natalie even as she throws him under the bus by calling him a "creep". Shows his character. Also reveals hers.

  52. T.... N....

    I love it..

  53. d.... l....

    Utterly beautiful

  54. L.... S....

    Moby, congrats on your sobriety! If you can do it... You are an inspiration!

    "The animal agriculture is the second leading cause of climate change. That 75%of antibiotic resistance...the plague that awaits us all is result of animal agriculture. Because the animals on factory farms are treated so badly and they're so sick that the only thing keeping in them alive are mega doses of antibiotics"
    Quoting Richard(Moby) from his Teds talks

  59. L.... K....

    Moby writes, "the world is a baffling place, full of confusion and darkness, and ‘this wild darkness’ is essentially an existential dialog between me and the gospel choir. me talking about my confusion, the choir answering with longing and hope."

    The Lyrics

    Apportioned like madness in season,
    Bracing all like a breaking of reason,
    With every night lost and every day torn
    ,
    With a drama feeling calmer,
    and it's a comma in the storm
    .
    Speakers are crying like a forest in the rain
    ,
    I was so alone with my thoughts and my pain
    ,
    And the darkness closed like a mouth on a wild night,
    I'll never be free.

    Oh, In this Darkness,
    Please light my way
    Please light my way.

    I can't stand on my own anymore
    .
    I can't stand in the stain of the broken and poor
    .
    I can't break what I held and it never was true
    ,
    In the middle what I said was a lie to you
    And me and everything I see and everything I could
    .
    Tried so hard to be good
    For myself, for you, for the hidden and Divine
    For everything but I can fail just so many times.

    Oh, In this Darkness,
    Please light my way
    Please light my way.

    I can't stop when I feel like stopping
    .
    At 5 A.M. just cry, shoot, coughing.
    The perfect life was enough for You,
    And ever enough to see me through.
    For all the lies that were spoken in ways,
    And the way we lived as an affront to the days,
    was an affront to the things that we cared about;
    was an affront to everything that we cared about.

    Oh, In this Darkness,
    Please light my way
    Please light my way.



    [This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. The Apostle John]

    Por eso me gustan sus canciones

  99. K.... ....

    a hand was grasping my heart while i listened and wept.... i totally understand Moby's despair, sorrow and need to hold on to a hope... humanity avalanches to it's extinction destroying everything in it's path. He sees it, i do, many of us do....
