The Dark Is Who I Am
Calabrese Lyrics

The lyrics of Calabrese's song "The Dark Is Who I Am" convey a sense of acceptance of one's dark side. The first two lines, "Seduced into wrong and led into fire," imply a temptation that cannot be resisted. The singer acknowledges that there is "No way around me," suggesting that they have fully embraced their dark tendencies. The next line, "Don't change a thing," reinforces the idea that the singer is content with who they are, even if it is not socially acceptable. The line "Oh, an innocent girl in your horrible world, here with me" implies that the singer may have a counterpart who is more innocent but chooses to be with someone who has a darker side.

The chorus of the song, "Yeah, the killers and the demons and the holy ghost, It's what I am, with a devil making home in my terrible heart, It's who I am," reinforces the idea that the singer has fully embraced their darkness. The use of "the killers and the demons and the holy ghost" as descriptors for the singer's identity reinforces the notion of moral ambiguity. The final line of the chorus, "It's who I am," says it all: the singer cannot change who they are, nor do they want to.
