Dark Side
Alan Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're not in love
We share no stories
Just something in your eyes
Don't be afraid
The shadows know me
Let's leave the world behind

Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
I see it, let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side
Fall into the dark side
Give into the dark side
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side

Beneath the sky
As black as diamonds
We're running out of time
Don't wait for truth
To come and blind us
Let's just believe their lies

Believe it, I see it
I know that you can feel it
No secrets worth keeping
So fool me like I'm dreaming

Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
I see it, let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side
Fall into the dark side
Give into the dark side
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side
(Dark side)

Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
I see it, let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless




Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alan Walker's song Dark Side is about two people who are attracted to each other, but they are not in love nor do they share any stories. The only thing that draws them to each other is something they see in each other's eyes. They are not afraid of the shadows because they know them too well. They want to leave the world behind and enter into a relationship of darkness, where they don't need the light. They want to feel alive, to be young and fearless, and to let go of the light and fall into the dark side. The sky is as black as diamonds, and time is running out, but they don't want to wait for the truth to come and blind them. They would rather believe in lies and fool themselves that they are dreaming so that they can enjoy the moment and experience the thrill of the dark side.

We're not in love
We share no stories
Just something in your eyes
Don't be afraid

Let's leave the world behind

[Chorus: Tomine Harket]
Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
I see it, let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side
Fall into the dark side
Give into the dark side
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side

[Verse 2 - Au/Ra]
Beneath the sky
As black as diamonds
We're running out of time
Don't wait for truth
To come and blind us
Let's just believe their lies
[Pre-Chorus - Au/Ra]
Believe it, I see it
I know that you can feel it
No secrets worth keeping
So fool me like I'm dreaming

[Chorus]
Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
I see it, let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side
Fall into the dark side
Give into the dark side
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side

[Chorus]
Take me through the night
Fall into the dark side
We don't need the light
We'll live on the dark side
I see it, let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side

My Name Is LILY
I'm FADED
I'm ALONE
I'm TIRED
I've LOST CONTROL
So, SING ME TO SLEEP
When it ALL FALLS DOWN
Into the DARKSIDE
With the FORCE of SKY
A ROUTINES to IGNITE
THE SPECTRE of unbreakable
DIAMOND HEART
And I'M ON THE WAY in the
DIFFERENT WORLD

Let's feel it
While we're still young and fearless
Let go of the light
Fall into the dark side
