The Dark Side
City Lights Lyrics

The voices in your head
Your own thoughts and doubts can lead you astray

You must fight to endure
Surviving requires constant effort

Hope is the only cure
Believing in a better future is the key to moving forward

Everyone you hold close
Those closest to you can be detrimental to your mental health

Is poison to your mind
They can negatively affect your thoughts and feelings

Be mindful of your feelings
Pay attention to your emotions and their impact on you

They may pull you from the light
Negative emotions can lead you away from positivity and hope

I sense great fear in you
I can feel your overwhelming sense of anxiety

And that could only mean one thing
Fear can lead to dangerous emotions and actions

Fear leads to anger and anger to hate
Unchecked fear can escalate and lead to negative emotions

And this is why darkness surrounds your fate
The negativity you allow to fester will affect your circumstances

Don't listen to what they say
Ignore the negative thoughts and opinions of others

Just keep doing what you do
Stay focused on your goals and keep moving forward

When you're doubting yourself
When you lack confidence in your abilities

And it's clouding your mind
When you're struggling to think clearly and rationally

Stay away from the dark side
Avoid negative emotions and actions

Fear is a disease and hope is the only cure
Allowing fear to take over is detrimental but hope can overcome it

When surrounded by war you must always choose aside
When faced with conflict or difficult situations, it's important to take a stance

Don't give in to greed and envy, you'll be betrayed by your pride
Negative traits can lead to negative outcomes

Without humility courage is a dangerous game
Confidence without restraint can be risky

The winding path to peace is always a worthy one
Finding a peaceful resolution is always worth the effort

Regardless of how many turns it takes
No matter how difficult it may be

You were supposed to be the chosen one
You were once seen as someone with great potential or purpose

The universe can make you feel invisible
Sometimes it can feel like no one cares or is listening

So don't forget about your principles
Remember your values and what you stand for

Keep your friends close and your demons at bay
Surround yourself with supportive people and prevent negative thoughts from taking over

Fear is a disease and hope is the only cure
The repetition emphasizes the importance of not giving into fear and maintaining hope
