Join Mackenzie Nicole as she explains the story and meaning behind the lyrics first "Mystic" single release, "Heart of Darkness".
This song was inspired by Mackenzie's favorite piece of literature, Joseph Conrad's 20th Century Novella, "Heart of Darkness". The novel centers around the colonization of the Congo during the 1980's. While Mackenzie does not consider her process to be anywhere close to that degree of evil, she found connection within the concept of a foreign power coming into her life and devastating it.
The word "colonize" fully embodies the alien invasion that completely changes your way of life. Your living scape. Your mind state. Your livelihood. There is this violent ravaging of your entire self when the darkness and the negativity reaches you.
"Run, run run! It's too late for you to run and hide." Innocence is stolen. Corrupted. Taken advantage of. Killed. And by the time you realize what's at stake, it's too late. This is the story of "Heart of Darkness".

"Heart of Darkness" Lyrics:
All the thoughts that colonize my mind and make my heartbeat fall out of time... Empty casings and their bloody footprints on the ground… See her rise above the smoke cloud just to shoot her down. I smile pretty like ivory - that's why they had to take my smile from me. When it all was said and done, they said I was the killer, and they sold it down the river to the highest bidder.
You can't run, and you can't hide
in the Heart of Darkness.
You can't run, and you can't hide
in the Heart of Darkness.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
'The horror! The horror!"
I screamed it out almost as if to warn her of the things that they will do if they get ahold of you. They made a hellscape of a paradise. Now, I'm nothing but a pair of eyes. I knew right then and there that I never stood a chance when I saw them shoot her down when she just raised her hands.
You can't run, and you can't hide
in the Heart of Darkness.
You can't run, and you can't hide
in the Heart of Darkness.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
Run, run, run!
It’s too late for you
to run and hide.
