"Chocolate" is a song by Northern Irish–Scottish alternative rock band Snow Patrol, released on 12 April 2004 as the third single of their third album, Final Straw (2003).

The implication here is that darkness and death will descend when the last grains of sand have fallen through the bottleneck to the bottom.

After the lyrics finish lead singer Gary Lightbody walks up and inverts the hourglass.

He wrote the song was true to its title, as it was "warm" and "anthemic", making comparisons to bands like Coldplay and Starsailor.

He did not feel it was strong enough to match up to "Starfighter Pilot", which he called "a prime-time Snow Patrol number".
