You'll be mine
Dark Stares Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eye's silver like the moon
(like the moon)
I'm gonna find you
I'm gonna find you
when you're tired
tired of being you
(of being you)
I'm gonna use you

I'm gonna use you

In time you'll be mine.
In time you'll be mine.

Eye's watching like the moon
(like the moon)
that's how they find you
that's how they find you
when you're tired
tired of being you
(of being you)
that's when they use you
that's when they use you
that's when they use you
that's when they use you

In time you'll be mine.
In time you'll be mine.

In time you'll be mine.
In time you'll be mine.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dark Stares's song "You'll Be Mine" evoke a sense of determination and manipulation. The recurring metaphor of "eyes silver like the moon" suggests a watchful presence, someone who is observant and calculating. The singer asserts that they will find and use the person they are addressing, particularly when that person is tired and weary of being themselves. The repetition of "in time you'll be mine" emphasizes the singer's confidence that eventually, they will have control or possessiveness over the individual.

The lyrics paint a picture of a manipulative and predatory character, someone who waits patiently for the right moment to exploit vulnerabilities and exert control over another person. The moon imagery symbolizes this constant observation, as the moon is often associated with mystery, hidden intentions, and a silent presence that influences events from the shadows.

The song delves into themes of power dynamics, manipulation, and the desire for possession. It offers a somewhat unsettling depiction of a person seeking control over another, reminding listeners to be cautious of those who may take advantage of their vulnerabilities or wear down their sense of self.
