‘Darkside of the Sun’ is a song by the rock band Tokio Hotel and it was part of the 2009 album ‘Humanoid’.
A lot of Tokio Hotel songs have futuristic vibes to them, like the track ‘Automatic’ had robots developing intelligence. Humanoid album also had a sci-fi touch to it and was quite futuristic in nature.
The Darkside of the Sun depicted Bill wearing an outfit which had an alien/robotic look to it. So, it kind of gives off a vibe of aliens and robots with artificial intelligence alike.
So, not much is said about what the song is about in general. However, this is my opinion on it. The song depicts a scenario which might take place in the future. Its on the news, TV, internet; people seem to be talking about how A.I might take over.
People feel scared because the robots might pose a threat to their existence and there have been instances where robots with A.I have mentioned terminating the human race.
However, the band looks at it from an optimistic perspective. Its about reassuring people that the end is not near as we might think as we are still alive and we are going to thrive in the future.

This review of “Darkside of the Sun” by Tokio Hotel is a fascinating analysis of the song’s meaning and message. It’s always interesting to dive deeper into the lyrics and uncover the underlying themes.
Yeah, this was a pretty cool song by the band at the time.
Personally, I depicted the meaning of the song to reflect their journey in the industry. Back in the peak of their career, they were in the media and a lot of controversy and criticism was constantly said about them, hence ‘radio hysteria’. The name Darkside of the Sun is a play on words for darkside of the moon and to me sounds like they’re saying there is bitterness and darkness even in the sun/spotlight and fame. the song also mainly uses ‘we’ and is written in the collective which could be Bill referring to the collective struggle of the band. 🙂
Thats a good way to look at it honestly. Thanks for your opinion.
