Out In the Dark
Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You’re still in my head, I can’t get you out
Feeling her instead but it’s not the same now
She know I’m filled with regret but she don’t know what about
It would bring us to an end, if she found out
So Imma keep her in the dark
We ain’t goin’ far
‘Cause right from the start
We were meant to fall apart
I ain’t in love with her
But Imma keep on touching her heart
And she’s gon’ keep on mending my scars
Yeah Imma give my love from afar, from afar
You’re still in my head, I can’t get you out
Feeling her instead but it’s not the same now
She know I’m filled with regret but she don’t know what about
It would bring us to an end, if she found out
So Imma keep her in the dark
We ain’t goin’ far
‘Cause right from the start
We were meant to fall apart
I can see in her eyes she’s in pain
Every time that I call her your name
She fell in love and I can’t say the same
‘Cause you’re still in my head, I can’t get you out
Feeling her instead but it’s not the same now
She know I’m filled with regret but she don’t know what about
It would bring us to an end, if she found out
You’re still in my head, I can’t get you out
Feeling her instead but it’s not the same now
She know I’m filled with regret but she don’t know what about
It would bring us to an end, if she found out
So Imma keep her in the dark (Yeah)
We ain’t goin’ far (No)
‘Cause right from the start
We were meant to fall apart
(If she found out)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chris's song "Out In the Dark" depict a complicated and conflicted emotional situation. The singer is grappling with thoughts of someone who is still in their head, unable to be forgotten. However, they are now with someone else and trying to convince themselves that this new person can fill the void. The singer is filled with regret, but their current partner is unaware of the depth of their feelings for someone else, fearing that if they found out, it would lead to the end of their relationship.


By keeping their current partner in the dark, the singer acknowledges that their relationship is not meant to last. They recognize that from the start, they were destined to fall apart. The pain is evident in the current partner's eyes when the singer unintentionally calls them by the name of the person still occupying their thoughts. The singer is aware that their current partner has fallen in love with them, but they cannot reciprocate the same level of feelings because they are still consumed by thoughts of the other person.


In this emotional turmoil, the singer keeps their current partner in the dark, hiding the truth and avoiding the inevitable end. The song captures the struggle between desire, regret, and the inability to fully commit to the present because of the lingering presence of the past.

He been saying he sold his soul tho for along time. Im a big fan of chris brown music and his last few albums he’s been telling it all. “ Had a meeting with the devil last week
Couldn't believe what he said to me, huh
"Here take this contract, signature please
You can have it all but you know your soul, I'ma keep"
Bad luck, bad luck, yeah, you know it come in threes
Battling my demons, I'm the only one who sees, ha
I've got the fire blazing, burning all the weed
I bet the hell ain't hotter than this fucking Hennessy, yeah
Two feet off the ground, woah, woah, like why am I living here?” YELLOW TAPE - CB

I can only imagine what these child stars must have experienced in the industry. From mind control to abuse, it is a scary place. At this point in the game, most of them are just damaged goods.

@tashaharrison8128

And sex for child stars I heard stories it's very sickening that's why most of the time the children come out crazy 😦 sad

@lindagithaiga1974

And they end up being the next abusers to the next generation perpetuating a never ending cycle 😔

@raizharihanna

Facts! They do child stars so wrong! I was just watching something about Mary Kate and Ashley and they literally said people made a countdown for when they would turn 18… that’s sick af. Preying on them young girls like that.

@samanthasmile7746

It’s very sad

@samanthasmile7746

There was a movie producer that spoke out recently and he said when people like Brittany spears and Amanda Bynes go crazy it’s not due to fame and fortune, it’s from being passed around for sex from one industry head to the other.

They killed the little girl from poltergeist by puncturing her organs. 😢

When you’re sold to that evil industry by your own parent, it’s hard to leave cos there’s constant threats to your life. If you read Rebecca Brown MD’s books, it’s not easy to leave an occult group. I do feel bad for him, but I pray GOD helps him to leave

@zinoofobrukueta214

Amen

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't so most of them say f it and go along with it, I know I would if I grew up in their situation?

We've just been lucky enough to have good direction in our life, but if all you have ever known is evil and you know you will be sacrificed if you go against it then is it really a choice? No.
