In The Dark
Killing Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your destiny left in your hands
Confusion in your mind tears you apart
Folding to heartless demands
I wait in the dark, I'm under your skin
Inside yourself the torture begins
Despite your will to defend
Just like a puppet hung from a wire
Censoring your every move
Feeling the evil, fear in your heart
Nothing left that you can do
I wait in the dark, behind every corner
Killing yourself, time's taking its toll
The lyrics to Killing Machine's song "In The Dark" describe a person who is taking risks and following their own path, despite the confusion and inner turmoil it causes. The line "your destiny left in your hands" suggests that this individual is aware of their own agency and responsibility in shaping their future, even if it means exploring dangerous or taboo territory. However, this sense of agency quickly gives way to feelings of powerlessness and being controlled by external forces, as they become aware of the consequences and risks of their actions.
The chorus continues the theme of being trapped and helpless, with the line "tonight, won't ever end despite your will to defend" implying that this person is stuck in a situation where they have lost control and are at the mercy of those around them. The use of the puppet metaphor further emphasizes this sense of being manipulated and constrained by outside forces, with the individual's every move censored and observed.
The second verse introduces the idea of fear, which is likely a result of the person's feeling of being trapped and controlled. The line "Feeling the evil, fear in your heart" suggests that they are acutely aware of the dangers and threat that they face. However, despite this fear, they cannot escape the situation and are ultimately trapped in a cycle of self-destruction.
Line by Line Meaning
Taking your chances and playing with fire
You are taking a risk by engaging with something dangerous
Your destiny left in your hands
You have control over what happens to you
Confusion in your mind tears you apart
You are struggling mentally and it is causing distress
Folding to heartless demands
You are succumbing to requests that lack compassion
I wait in the dark, I'm under your skin
I am patiently watching you from a place of secrecy
Inside yourself the torture begins
You are struggling internally and it is causing pain
Tonight, won't ever end
It feels like this moment will last forever
Despite your will to defend
Even though you want to protect yourself
Just like a puppet hung from a wire
You are being controlled like a marionette on strings
Censoring your every move
Your actions are being restricted and monitored
Feeling the evil, fear in your heart
You are experiencing trepidation and darkness inside you
Nothing left that you can do
You feel powerless and unable to make change
I wait in the dark, behind every corner
I am lurking in the shadows and can be found anywhere
Killing yourself, time's taking its toll
You are slowly destroying yourself and time is exacerbating it

I love how each batman represents our batman's greatest fears.
Example: Murder Machine: The fear of losing Alfred, of his dependence on technology turning against him, and of losing humanity.

Batman and Alfred son and father relationship is one of the things that makes Bruce Wayne alive. If Aldred dies, Bruce dies with him.
