Exploring themes of betrayal and emotional turmoil, the lyrics delve into the protagonist's struggle with a deceptive relationship. The repeated imagery of darkness symbolizes the confusion and pain caused by loving someone who lies, highlighting a sense of isolation and despair. The refrain "I've been left in the dark" metaphorically underscores being uninformed and misled, while "standing cold in the night" evokes a feeling of vulnerability. The song poignantly captures the internal conflict between surrendering to love's allure and recognizing its potentially destructive nature. This duality is further emphasized through questions like "am I going under?" suggesting an inner battle between succumbing to despair or striving for emotional liberation.
In The Dark
Lyrics
I got lost in the wilderness
I thought I was surely falling apart
The pain you caused cut so deep
Truly was a work of art
I don't care what they say, I'm gonna do it anyway (oh, oh)
It's the only thing I see, always staring back at me (oh)
I've been left in the dark, standing cold in the night
Memories of your taste, I've been holding on tight
Falling apart and I'm living a lie
All of this time I've been loving a liar
Pulled me in with your words so sweet
Every time I ignore the sign
Redemption's mine on the day I leave
Falling for you was my only crime
I don't care what they say, I'm gonna do it anyway (oh, oh)
It's the only thing I see, always staring back at me (oh)
I've been left in the dark, standing cold in the night
Memories of your taste, I've been holding on tight
Falling apart and I'm living a lie
All of this time I've been loving a liar
Ooh-ooh, am I going under?
Ooh-ooh, should my heart surrender?
Ooh-ooh, am I going under?
Ooh-ooh, should my heart surrender?
(Am I going under?)
(Should this heart surrender?)
Ooh-ooh, am I going under?
Ooh-ooh
I've been left in the dark, standing cold in the night
Memories of your taste, I've been holding on tight
Falling apart and I'm living a lie
All of this time I've been loving a liar
Ooh-ooh, am I going under?
Ooh-ooh, should my heart surrender?
Ooh-ooh, am I going under? (oh)
Ooh-ooh, should my heart surrender?
