Gripping tight on my rosary
I ain’t ever get to meet my Rosemary
Shit, I am in places I ain’t suppose to be
Close your eyes cause
We in a place we ain’t suppose to see
It's first to the third degree but
The government is hurtin' me
I don’t think it’s real but
They got fish full of mercury
Shit!
Fuck, I can’t even get it but I get it going
Money on my side so
I am sitting while the flowers throwing
Its a toast to reed
It doesn’t matter cause I know it’s me
I like being here cause it’s just very calming
Its quiet…
Its kinda same stuff everyday
People are like what is Dark World and
Like i say in all my songs
Stop asking me what dark world is because
I literally just don’t know.
We grew up in western mass
Where there are a lot of ill punk bands and
There is this whole DIY scene
You don’t have the resources immediately
You’re just gonna figure out a way to do it yourself, so
The way that we do things,
Its just figuring out how to make music.
I dropped out of high school when I was 16
I was never a school kid
I couldn’t do that
I always wanted to be an artist in some way
I’d rather learn from my peers
Then a teacher in class
I started making some beats and
Lukas heard some of them
He’s like “Dude these are really sick” and
I was like alright cool
you want them?
like…
Lets do this, lets make some songs
Cause I wouldn’t be making beats now
If he hadn’t been like, these are fire
Ghost got some crazy beats
I don’t know where he gets his influences from
DJ Lucas makes the farm boy Massachusetts shit and
Just crazy, just out of this fucking world and
You got Sweat Enzo making the soft music
You got Chris Warlock you see him downstairs doing the guitar
He got his own little thing
I make more like the street shit but
Prolly the hardest to understand would be
Prolly God’s Wisdom for a lot of people
Just cause he’s so strange
Everybody is just different but it works for some reason
When we started Dark World
It is was pretty abrasive in general
It's just a lot of like in your face stuff
First time we hung out and
Started making music, it was 14 of us or something and
We were all just like this is crazy
We’re making ridiculous music
We were just punks, early Dark World,
We just came together we were just trying to fuck shit up
Play crazy shows, I mean at first
I think people were just like
What the hell is this at shows
I don’t know if they necessarily related to any of it but
The energy has always been there, ya know?
Our music is inspired by and about
Just our day to day lives and
The way we present it to the public is
For lack of a better word, like it’s raw
We're making music probably because we grew up here
I don’t know if we would be making the same music if we were anywhere else
We're very lucky
We have been given the time to make this music
I don’t have to be working a full time job
So I am able to do this, which is awesome
Dark world’s music if you don’t get it right off the bat
If you invest time into it, it will grow on you 100%
We wouldn’t be close to how far we are right now
Without the music videos so I think most people
Fall in love with dark world from the music videos
And then they get the music
You kinda need to view it, you kinda need to see it
Like we keep in the weird parts
We keep in the b-rolls that you would cut out
But like the weird little funny parts
You know what I am saying?
It’s not polished
I think honesty is a big part of
Just dark world in general, I mean
Thats only become something that I’ve thought about lately or
I think all of us have thought about it in the last..
Cause we’re always like “why do people like this?”
But I don’t know it just felt right
It feels wrong to lie, ya know?
There are times when it’s like
Everything gets on top of you
You know there is not money coming in regularly
I know for a fact that like
I don’t wanna be making music all the time, forever
What would make me happiest was if I was like Reed’s manager
He makes life sound fun, even when it not
I sell a lot of clothes, Dark World clothes, hats, ballerina hats
And the patch stuff and then shows
God’s Wisdom is a pizza delivery driver
Just for right now, ya know, I’ve had mad jobs
I’m gonna quit that job
The only next step I really hope for is that
We are able to make enough money to just
Have the time to do this shit all the time
We have been doing Dark World for so long
That I think none of us actually thought
It was gonna get to a point where we had a public
I probably would just be very uncomfortable
If I were in this situation with anyone else honestly
If whats connecting with people is the honesty and
That everyone is just being their freaky self
Then why would you wanna be anywhere else
