The Dark Is Who I Am
Calabrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And led into fire
No way around
Me
Don't
Don't change a thing
Oh, an innocent girl in your horrible world
Here with me
Yeah, the killers and the demons and the holy ghost
It's what I am
With a devil making home in my terrible heart
It's who I am
The lyrics of Calabrese's song "The Dark Is Who I Am" convey a sense of acceptance of one's dark side. The first two lines, "Seduced into wrong and led into fire," imply a temptation that cannot be resisted. The singer acknowledges that there is "No way around me," suggesting that they have fully embraced their dark tendencies. The next line, "Don't change a thing," reinforces the idea that the singer is content with who they are, even if it is not socially acceptable. The line "Oh, an innocent girl in your horrible world, here with me" implies that the singer may have a counterpart who is more innocent but chooses to be with someone who has a darker side.
The chorus of the song, "Yeah, the killers and the demons and the holy ghost, It's what I am, with a devil making home in my terrible heart, It's who I am," reinforces the idea that the singer has fully embraced their darkness. The use of "the killers and the demons and the holy ghost" as descriptors for the singer's identity reinforces the notion of moral ambiguity. The final line of the chorus, "It's who I am," says it all: the singer cannot change who they are, nor do they want to.
Line by Line Meaning
Seduced into wrong
I was led astray, tempted by forbidden things
And led into fire
I was enticed towards danger, towards destruction and chaos
No way around
There's no escape, no turning back from my fate
Me
I am the one who is trapped, who is consumed by darkness
Don't
Please don't try to change me, to fix me
Don't change a thing
I am who I am, broken and damaged
Oh, an innocent girl in your horrible world
In this cruel, dangerous world, I am the only innocent one
Here with me
I am alone, with only my demons for company
Yeah, the killers and the demons and the holy ghost
Death, evil, and even religion are all a part of me
It's what I am
I am made up of all these terrible things, it defines me
With a devil making home in my terrible heart
My heart is dark and twisted, and the devil has made it his home
It's who I am
I am the darkness itself, it's who I was meant to be
