Dark Side
Amelia Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the other side
I am the touch of morphine
Lacing your dreams
I am the rude awakening
Rise from you screams
A am the space above your sleep
You're on the dark side
You're on my side
You're on the dark side
You're on my side
You're on the dark side
Back form your mind your fear and your pain
Leading you back to your dreams again
Under my dreams
I see the other side
I am the space of moonlight
Under you door
And when you come to meet me say you
Knew me befor
And when i'm lying by your head
You put your body into mine
You're on the dark side
You're on my side
You're on the dark side
You're on my side
You're on the dark side
You're on my side
You're on the dark side
You're on my side
Back form your mind your fear and your pain
Leading you back to your dreams again
The lyrics of Amelia Brightman's song Dark Side explore the concept of the subconscious mind and how it impacts one's consciousness. The singer portrays herself as a figure that controls the dream world, offering both comfort and fear to the listener's dreams. She presents herself as the touch of morphine that laces their dreams, providing an escape from reality. Yet she is also the rude awakening that causes one to rise from their screams, providing a jolt back to reality. The singer speaks to the power of dreams, as she represents the space above the listener's sleep that lingers before they leave the world behind.
The chorus "You're on the dark side, You're on my side" alludes to a duality that exists within oneself. The "dark side" represents the parts of oneself that they may be afraid to confront or acknowledge - their fears and pains. The singer's character represents the subconscious mind, which holds the key to unlocking those fears and pains that exist within the dark side. By being "on my side," the listener is acknowledging their need to confront those aspects of themselves and the role that the subconscious mind plays in that process. The lyrics present an intriguing exploration of the power of the subconscious mind and the importance of confronting one's fears and pains to lead towards healing and self-awareness.
