Asked about his lyrics by Uncut, Underworld's Karl Hyde told the magazine they are "mapped journeys." He explained: "They start at a point in a city and I go to another point and I document the things I see, hear, smell, interjected with things they invoke in me." "'Dark & Long' was written in Minnesota on the prairies, with thunder clouds coming in."
The Dark Train mix of this song appears in a scene of the 1996 film Trainspotting, when Mark Renton is going through withdrawal.
