Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't believe my eyes
I cannot hold to a simple cause
I couldn't believe my ears,
I heard you are in tears
You cannot hold to a simple cause
Don't go dark on me Don't go dark on me I couldn't believe my ears,
I heard you are in tears
You have a great face made to smile
You have the power to walk a mile
You've got everything you need
Don't go dark on me Don't go dark on me
The lyrics of "Don't Go Dark" by KILL FM ft. Helena J implore someone to not give up or give in to negativity. The first two lines repeat the disbelief of the singer at what they are seeing - this disbelief is followed up with an admission that they cannot hold to simple causes. The use of "simple cause" is a bit ambiguous, but it could refer to the idea that it's easy to be taken towards darker thoughts, feelings and actions. The next two lines repeat this disbelief, but shift it to the singer hearing about someone crying. It is clear that the singer cares about this person and wants them to stay a part of their life. The repetition of the chorus, "Don't go dark on me," underscores this feeling of care and concern.
The next stanza furthers this concern by praising the person's positive qualities. They have a "great face made to smile," and the ability to "walk a mile." The singer wants to assure the person that they have everything they need to face challenges and obstacles. Once again, the chorus repeats, "Don't go dark on me," as a way to plead with the person to not surrender to negativity. The song takes a stance of hope and encouragement, urging the listener to hold onto positivity and push through tough times.
