Keep in the Dark Lyrics

Keep in the Dark to stay out of the light
Keep in the dark to stay out of the light
Just hang the sunshine

Turn off your light, let's step into the dark
Slip away like 'into her
Save your face and get behind, it's firmly pressed into earth
I feel relief when I talk, eventually comes
Talk of our dreams, you surely have one
Mind your head and keep your hands firmly pressed into earth

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
A shameful display, sung in some other place
To keep in the dark

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
I come with a string to recover the world
She sings in the night and never grows on

Night falling, save the grace with wondering eyes
Drawn to a beauty left to lay in the light
'only precious white wine full of worth

Dressed in all, safe from the dark
But dressed in a body let stranger to pass
Flashing my attempt to calling an all showing girl
Your true words

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
A shameful display, sung in some other place
To keep in the dark

Dream on and sleep won't save you from the night
Drink a bottle, rest in wine
I come with a string to recover the world
She sings in the night and never grows on

Keep in the Dark Song Chart

This is a track from Sun Structures, the debut studio album by the English psychedelic rock band Temples. The group adopted a DIY approach to language in order to concoct their own, mystical vernacular for the album. "We use words as sounds in a way which almost creates your own language," vocalist James Bagshaw explained to NME. "If an English teacher read the lyrics, there will be mistakes everywhere and probably some words that might not even be words. But it's more important that the word sounds right in order to serve the melody, which I guess is quite similar to what Tyrannosaurus Rex used to do. The meaning might be a bit little skewed, but it's music – it's not a book of poems."

Bassist Tom Warmsley explained the use of autoharp on this song to NME: "It has a very percussive, bright, glissando quality to it and you almost use it like a rhythm guitar," he said. "It has this really unique, bright tone that adds another layer to the track."

Don't be fooled by the name - an autoharp is not a harp at all, but is basically a chorded zither.
