"Into the Darkness" has left the nest—fly, little one, fly!
Celebrating release day for "Into the Darkness"
Some backstory on "Into the Darkness" and how it came to be
Each of the first four verses explores a strategy as old as Eden for avoiding suffering: distraction via decadence, works righteousness, pedestalizing creativity, and the quest to eliminate mystery. When we reach the end of these dead-ends, life often drags us, kicking and screaming, into the darkness.
Then the fifth verse presents another way—not a way out, but a way through.
