Josh Golden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you wanna play with magic
Girl i hope you know what you're fallin' for
Baby do u dare to do this
'Cause I'm comin' at you like a dark horse
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better chose carefully
'Cause I...
I'm capable of anything
Of anything
and everything
Make me your aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy
Your enemy
Your enemy
So you wanna play with magic
Girl i hope you know what you're fallin' for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm comin' at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for
Ready for
A perfect storm
Perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no goin' back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
We're down to earth
If you chose to walk away
Don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hands nos baby
It's a yes or a no
No maybe
So just be sure
Before you give it up to me
up to me
Give it up to me
So you wanna play with magic
Girl i hope you know what you're fallin' for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm comin' at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for
Ready for
A perfect storm
Cause once you're mine




Once you're mine
There's no going back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dark Horse" by Josh Golden are about a guy who is warning a girl not to play with fire because he is capable of anything and everything. He is a dark horse that is coming at her, and she has to be careful about choosing him as her partner because he can be her aphrodite or her one and only, but not her enemy. The guy is confident and knows the consequences of falling for him, and he wants the girl to be sure of her decision before she gives herself up to him.


The chorus talks about the guy being a perfect storm and once the girl becomes his, there's no going back as this love will make her levitate like a bird without a cage. The guy is asking the girl if she is ready to face the consequences of falling for him and if she is sure of her decision before giving herself up to him.


The song is a metaphorical representation of a relationship, where the man is the dominant one, and the woman has to be careful about choosing him as her partner because he can be her greatest joy, but also her worst nightmare. The song explores the perils of falling in love with someone who is a dark horse and can be unpredictable and dangerous.
