Between day and night: “Dark As A Dungeon” mixes cheeky beats with dark lyrics.
The latest coup by “My Own Money” from Canada, the song “Dark As A Dungeon”, is a fascinating combination of synth and electro pop that is both energetic and provocative. The track comes from the EP “Disco Asbestos” and impresses with its catchy dark bass beat, which sets the musical theme right from the start.
When the vocals kick in, you are inevitably reminded of “Ladytron”, while the bright synthesiser sounds in the chorus perfectly complement and brighten up the minimalist bass beat. This mixture of sounds is also reminiscent of “Miss FD”, whereby “Dark As A Dungeon” surprises with a bridge that further increases the tension with a hint of 80s new beat.
I thought you were my purpose in life
but you’re just a distraction
I gave you all my days and my nights
and you gave me destruction
Lyrics of “Dark As A Dungeon” by “My Own Money”
Lyrically, the song offers a profound examination of deception and disappointment in interpersonal relationships. Lines like “I thought you were my purpose in life but you’re just a distraction” illustrate the painful realisation that not everything that shines really does bring light.
I’ve listened to the older songs on the My Own Money Bandcamp channel and I have to honestly admit that these quite commercial/indie rock/pop songs aren’t my cup of tea. The song “Dark As A Dungeon” is a completely different calibre and I hope that the band continues to develop in a more electronic direction, even if this is a selfish wish.

Lyrics of “My Own Money – Dark As A Dungeon”
I thought you were my purpose in life
but you’re just a distraction
I gave you all my days and my nights
and you gave me destruction
I thought you’d always be mine
but you’re a missed connection
I thought you were my giver of light
but you’re as dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
I hung around i was the fool
That couldn’t see the fault in you
Although the warning signs were there
Drew me back into your darkness
It’s cool – I’m your fool
Be kind – don’t take my light
I thought you were my purpose in life
but you’re just a distraction
I gave you all my days and my nights
and you gave me destruction
I thought you’d always be mine
but you’re a missed connection
I thought you were my giver of light
but you’re as dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
I thought of love as someone you
something hidden something true
secret spaces in between
the distances of dreams unseen
it’s cool I’m your fool
be kind don’t take my light
I thought you were my purpose in life
but you’re just a distraction
I gave you all my days and my nights
and you gave me destruction
I thought you’d always be mine
but you’re a missed connection
I thought you were my giver of light
but you’re as dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
Dark as a dungeon
