My Dark Side
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh-oh oh, oh
There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away
Will you stay
Even if it hurts
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
What can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am, yeah!
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away
Don't run away (don't run away)
Just tell me that you will stay (just tell me that you will stay)
Promise me you will stay (promise me you will stay)
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay (just promise me you will stay)
Promise me you will stay (promise me you will stay)
Will you love me, with my dark side? Oh
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Don't run away
Don't run away
"My Dark Side" by the Glee Cast is a song that speaks about the insecurities and vulnerabilities that are usually hidden deep within. It begins with the singer sharing that there is a place, an aspect of herself that is not pleasant or too commonplace, a side that only a few have ever known. She speaks of showing this side of her to her lover when she asks whether showing this darker side of her would make her lover run away or remain with her despite the hurts and push he’d receive. She longs for her lover to remind her who she really is as a person, to help her stay grounded as she discloses this truth of herself.
The chorus asks a rhetorical question that poses that everyone has a dark side, not just the singer. The song then affirms that everyone is worth it, despite their flaws, and requests to be loved even with the dark side of each person. The song ends with a request not to run away but to promise to stay despite these darknesses.
In summary, the song speaks about embracing one's vulnerabilities and having someone who would stand by them regardless of the unattractive truths unveiled.

I wish Sebastian had become a main character in season 4. There was so much they could have done with his character. I would have loved for them to give him a redemption arc.
Delaney Kimberlin
same here
Lilan625
Yeah. I was actually kinda hoping to at least see him in the final episode. Kurt and Blaine at Lima Bean and Kurt noticing Seb and wanting to go, only to discover he's there with Karofsky. Not a Seb/Karofsky romantic relationship, but at least that they talked and Seb got knocked down a few notches.
Miza_09
omg same
but would grant still have become the flash?
Ohsnaapz
I honestly felt sebastian and santann had more chemistry together. They were rivals yet they supported each other during their sectionals
haia tranova
@Miza_09 Grant was already the Flash, when they filmed the final episode. But I think he wasn't brought back for the same reason as Melissa Benoist. Grant was filming season 2 of The Flash, and Melissa was filming season 1 of Supergirl.

You don’t know how badly I wanted Blaine to return to Dalton... he looks so happy and the Warblers have a range that can match his.
Rohini Renee
it really makes no sense why he would stay in Mckinley even less sense why he would transfer for a boyfriend when the said boyfriend transferred back to be with his friends and left him behind
Nadya Cole
@Rohini Renee A lot of Glee fans like him. That's why they sent him to New Directions so he could be a permanent main character
Rohini Renee
@Nadya Cole Obviously.. Darren Criss is a God! Best glee had to offer but they should have expanded Dalton storyline, especially S4 instead of introducing newbies.
