Dark Side
Bellabeth Lyrics

Now it's been a couple months, how you feel?
Asking how the person is doing after a period of time.

I see that you are doing well
Observing that the person is doing well.

Seems like you have come out of your shell
Noticing that the person is more open and confident.

And your future looks real
Recognizing that the person has a promising future.

Now can't have that can we babe
Implying that the person's success is a problem for the singer.

You know I'm gonna work on that
Promising to interfere with the person's success.

So by the end, you're gonna wish you're dead
Threatening to cause the person great harm or misery.

You know the drill
Suggesting that this has happened before and will happen again.

I'm gonna take your dreams, break them in two
Planning to ruin the person's ambitions and goals.

Make you think there's only two colours black and blue
Intending to cause the person pain and suffering.

Still, you're gonna cling to me 'cause I'm the only one
Believing that the person will remain dependent on the singer, despite the harm inflicted.

Who's always gonna be there and come back for you
Asserting that the singer will always be there to cause harm and misery.

Come back to the dark side
Inviting the person to return to a state of misery and dependence.

I know you got your invite
Suggesting that the person has already been encouraged to return to a state of misery.

And you knew I was never gone
Implying that the person was always under the singer's control.

I don't need to destroy you, you will do it on your own
Believing that the person will self-destruct without the singer's guidance or interference.

Welcome to the dark side
Welcoming the person to a state of misery and dependence.

Where everything feels just right
Justifying the state of misery as a natural and comfortable state.

'Cause it's where you think you belong
Insisting that the person's natural state is one of misery and dependence.

Now I know that you're asking yourself
Suggesting that the person has doubts or questions.

I thought that I was stronger now
Believing that the person has become stronger and independent.

Well it's obvious that you are not
Dismissing the person's growth and progress.

You never will
Believing that the person will never truly be strong or independent.

Remember all that hope that you've tasted
Recalling a time when the person had hope and optimism.

Well you can kiss that goodbye
Implying that hope and optimism are no longer possible.

Now that I'm back here in your life
Celebrating the singer's return to a position of control over the person.

Now tell me, baby what's your plan?
Asking the person about their future plans and goals.

Don't tell me you wanna be an independent man
Rejecting the idea of the person being independent or self-sufficient.

I can nearly taste it, yeah I really can
Dismissing the person's aspirations as unrealistic and doomed to failure.

You're lost - you're lost without me
Believing that the person is incapable of functioning or thriving without the singer's interference.

Welcome to the dark side
Encouraging the person to fully embrace a state of misery and dependence.

(Welcome to the dark side)
Repeating the invitation to embrace misery and dependence.

Welcome to the dark side
Emphasizing the invitation to embrace a state of misery and dependence.

(Welcome to the dark side)
Repeating the invitation to embrace misery and dependence.
