Children of the dark
Lola Angst Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on, jump to right side
[x2]

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on down to my side

Hey, mister judge
You're my enemy now, so wonder what
You can fuck me in your psycho prison
I'll find a way out of here, just listen
All my friends will come and take me out
And I'll win this race, there's no doubt
Because I belong to the right side
We are gothics and we won't stop to fight

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on, jump to right side

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on, jump to my side

Hey, Mahatma, we don't have the same ideas
Hey, mama, I'm not a stupid farmer
There's no place for the man I always wanted to be
So I cut my life in two pieces [??]

Let's kill that *beep*
I have no need for that joke
[x2]

Let's kill the *beep*
I have no need for that joke
[x2]

*beep beep*

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on, jump to my side
[x2]

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on down to my side

We are the children of the darkest light [x2]

We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight
You are the children of the bright light
So come on, jump to my side
We are the children of the darkest light
We will never have to fight

Overall Meaning

The song "Children of the Dark" by Lola Angst is a rebellious, anti-establishment anthem for the gothic subculture. The first verse refers to the gothics as "children of the darkest light," signifying their affinity for the darker side of life. They are portrayed as non-confrontational and non-violent, unlike the "children of the bright light" who are presumably part of mainstream culture and are expected to fight for their beliefs. The repetition of this verse emphasizes the unity and solidarity of the gothic subculture, inviting others to "jump to the right side."


The second verse is a direct challenge to authority figures, specifically the "mister judge." The gothics are rebelling against the norms and values of society and are confident in their ability to break free from any constraints put on them. They are not afraid to fight for what they believe in, and they know that they have the support of their fellow goths.


The chorus is a call to arms for all goths to join forces and stand together. The repeated refrain of "we will never have to fight" reinforces the message that goths are not a violent or aggressive subculture. Rather than fighting physically, they fight for their right to express themselves and be who they are.
