Darkness Lyrics » Eminem
[Intro]
I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be alone in the darkness
I don’t wanna be alone in the darkness
I don’t wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
(
Hello, darkness, my old friend
)
[Verse 1]
Here I am, alone again
Can’t get out of this hole I’m in
It’s like the walls are closin’ in
You can’t help me, no one can
I can feel these curtains closin’
I go to open ’em
But something pulls ’em closed again
(
Hello, darkness, my old friend
)
Feels like I’m loathing in Las Vegas
Haven’t got the vaguest why I’m so lost
But I’d make you this small wager
If I bet you I’ll be in tomorrow’s paper
Who would the odds favor?
(
Hello, darkness, my old friend
)
I’m so much like my father, you would think that I knew him
I keep pacin’ this room, Valium, then chase it with booze
One little taste, it’ll do
Maybe I’ll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few
(
Hello, darkness, my old friend
)
Fuck the Colt 45, I’ma need somethin’ stronger
If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka
Round after round after round, I’m gettin’ loaded (Haha)
That’s a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)
(
Hello, darkness, my old friend
)

About Eminem’s Darkness from Music to Be Murdered By (2020)
“Darkness” is the lead single from Eminem’s surprise album,
Music to Be Murdered By
. It was released with its music video alongside the album.
It has become common for rappers to metaphorically compare the words they spit to weapons and their performances to murders. Here, Em both takes this convention to extremes and inverts it. While the beginning of the song might lead listeners to believe they are simply hearing an account of an artist’s pre-performance anxiety, à la
“Lose Yourself,”
it is eventually revealed that the narrator is
Stephen Paddock
, the murderer responsible for the
deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history
. As a result, a disturbing allegory is revealed that compares high-profile killings to an artist’s performance.
The song ends with a compilation of overlayed news clips from various shootings that have occurred in the United States in recent years, suggesting that Em is attempting to bring further awareness to America’s ongoing gun problems. He even has a quote on his website
that states
, “WHEN WILL THIS END? WHEN ENOUGH PEOPLE CARE.”

What did Eminem say about “Darkness”?
Royce da 5’9″ (producer) in an
interview with Billboard
:
You know with Em, I sent him the “Darkness” beat and he wrote to it at the house. He called me and was like, “Yo. I got something to that beat. Send me the stems.” Em is a way more seasoned producer than me. He added like a lot of instruments on top of it and once he did that, after he laid his vocals, then it started to really, really become a record.
