Be, the standout track from Darker Lighter’s self-titled album, is a deeply personal and evocative indie rock piece by multi-instrumentalist Salar Rajabnik. Layered with heavy guitar riffs and soaring strings, it explores themes of alienation, bicultural identity, and the struggle to stay true to oneself. Rajabnik’s poignant lyrics—“you’re on your own, you should have known” and “living in a house won’t make it home”—capture the emotional cost of authenticity.
Be is a haunting reflection on belonging and the price we pay for who we choose to be.
