Dark Side of Night
Foxboro Hot Tubs Lyrics

The lyrics of Foxboro Hot Tubs' "Dark Side of Night" are dark and mysterious, invoking a sense of fear and danger. The opening line "Bleeding me, though my heart is dry" suggests that the persona's emotions have been drained away, possibly as a result of enduring trauma, leaving them unable to feel anything. The metaphor of a knife as a symbol of the "dark side of night" is used to convey the danger and riskiness of the unknown, while also implying that the persona has experienced pain caused by external forces and may be guarded against them.

The second verse continues this theme, with the "killer on the run" wearing a "halo of lies." The image of angels flying overhead evokes a sense of judgment and accountability, as if those in the heavens are watching and waiting for the persona to be punished for their sins. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "the dark side of night," which is a reminder that evil and danger lurk in the shadows and can strike at any time.

The third verse suggests that the persona is a victim of some kind of emotional or mental trauma, with a "secret chasm" in their heart and a "fire raging on us burning like a scar." The final lines of the song suggest a sense of despair and isolation, with the persona feeling alone and plagued by "darkness nightmares."
