Afraid Of The Dark
KUURO feat. Sophiya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got scars deep enough to last
A heart full of broken glass
And I′m gonna paint it black (oh)
I got bruises I've covered up
I′ve been used every time I loved
Nothing to lose when the devil comes (oh)

Turn out the lights, we can turn 'em out 'cause
Turn out the lights, we can burn ′em out ′cause
I know what's waiting, I know what it′s made of
What it's made of

Come on take me closer to the edge now
If you think you can love me
You can show me how to have a breakdown
If you gonna tou-touch me
I′m not, I'm not afraid of the dark
I′m not, I'm not afraid of the dark
You can show me how to have a breakdown
If you gonna tou-touch me

You got scars deep enough to last
A heart full of broken glass
And I'm gonna paint it black (oh)
I′m not afraid to let you in
Come on, come on and break the skin
Nothing to lose when the devil comes (oh)

Turn out the lights, we can turn ′em out 'cause
Turn out the lights, we can burn ′em out 'cause
I know what′s waiting, I know what it's made of
What it′s made of

Come on take me closer to the edge now
If you think you can love me
You can show me how to have a breakdown
If you gonna tou-touch me
I'm not, I'm not afraid of the dark
I′m not, I′m not afraid of the dark
You can show me how to have a breakdown
If you gonna tou-touch me

I'm not scared
I′m not scared
Of
You

Come on take me closer to the edge now
If you think you can love me
You can show me how to have a breakdown
If you gonna tou-touch me
I'm not, I′m not afraid of the dark
I'm not, I′m not afraid of the dark




You can show me how to have a breakdown
If you gonna tou-touch me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Afraid of the Dark" by KUURO feat. Sophiya describe two individuals who have experienced emotional pain in their lives but are now ready to confront and overcome their fears. The individuals have scars that are deep enough to last, symbolizing the emotional wounds that they carry with them. The broken glass in their hearts emphasizes how fragile they are, yet it also presents an opportunity for change. The singer promises to help "paint it black," which may represent a metaphorical reset button, a way to start anew. The devil is mentioned, which suggests that they are taking a risk by letting someone in, but they feel that they have nothing to lose. They are ready to embrace the unknown and face their fears because they believe that something better is waiting for them.


The chorus encourages the listener to turn out the lights and burn them out, which could mean that they are ready to confront the darkness within themselves. The darkness is no longer a source of fear; it is something that they want to face head-on. The phrase "come on take me closer to the edge now" indicates that they are willing to take a risk and see what happens. They are open to love and are willing to let themselves be vulnerable. The line "you can show me how to have a breakdown if you're going to touch me" may sound paradoxical at first, but it could mean that they want to experience the lowest of lows with someone they trust. They want to see what happens when they hit rock bottom and believe that they will emerge stronger on the other side.


Overall, "Afraid of the Dark" is a powerful song about facing one's fears and overcoming emotional pain. The lyrics suggest that it is possible to move forward and find love and happiness, even after experiencing heartbreak.
