Darkest Days is a concept album consisting of four acts, with each portraying a different emotional phase gone through after a break-up. The first act (tracks 1-4) is about sabotaging the relationship. The second act (tracks 5-9) is about lust, hope, and longing. The third act (tracks 10-12) is about hitting rock bottom after it is all over. The fourth act (tracks 13-16) is about recovery and self-respect.
