In The Dark
Anna Blue feat. Damien Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With all this load on your heart
Reveal your innermost to me
Just take a leap in the dark
Leap in the dark, yeah, huh
Listen up!
A secret place to hide (to hide)
Where all my dreams can come alive
Darkness doesn't scare me
Deep within the shadow
There's a place where I can finally unfold
And I can set myself free
Darkness doesn't scare me
No!
I don't wanna be standing in the spotlight
Oh!
People looking for something they could dislike
Oh I run, run, run into the night
'Cause in the dark all cats are grey
And everybody is just the same
When all the colors fade away
Come grab my hand I'll take you there
'Cause in the dark our eyes can't see
And ain't nobody's judging me
So I can be who I wanna be
I can show you my world, baby, yeah
Let's take a leap in the dark
Leap in the dark (leap in the dark)
A leap in the dark
Just like a creature of the night (of the night)
I'm hiding from the light (from the light)
I keep myself out of sight
Darkness doesn't scare me
Far beyond the twilight
There's a world where all my inhibition's gone
Follow me and take the lead
Darkness doesn't scare me
No!
I don't wanna be standing in the spotlight (spotlight)
Oh!
People looking for something they could dislike
Oh I run, run, run into the night
'Cause in the dark all cats are grey
And everybody is just the same
When all the colors fade away
Come grab my hand I'll take you there
'Cause in the dark our eyes can't see
And ain't nobody's judging me
So I can be who I wanna be
I can show you my world, baby, yeah
Let's take a leap in the dark
Leap in the dark (leap in the dark)
A leap in the dark
Sometimes it's hard just to breathe
With all this load on your heart
Reveal you innermost to me
Just take a leap in the dark
Leap in the dark, yeah, huh
The song "In the Dark" by Anna Blue feat. Damien Dawn talks about the struggles of dealing with emotional burdens and hiding one's true self from society's judgment. The singer expresses their need for a refuge, a place where they can be free and expressive without any fear of criticism or discrimination. This place is found in the dark, where all colors fade away, and everyone looks the same. The dark symbolizes freedom, acceptance, and non-judgmental community where one can be their true self.
The song's chorus is an invitation to everyone who feels burdened and trapped by societal norms and pressure to take a leap in the dark and join the singer in their world, where freedom and acceptance are the only rules. The singer assures that darkness doesn't scare them, and they are here to guide the listeners to this world of acceptance and freedom. The song's lyrics urge people to embrace their true selves, find their inner strength, and stand up against the societal norms that force them to conform.
The music video also reinforces the message of the song, where several people from different backgrounds and identities join the singer and dance together in the dark, symbolizing unity, acceptance, and freedom.
