In The Dark
Mike Metro Lyrics

The lyrics to "In the Dark" suggest a sense of urgency and desire for something that may not be accessible in the light or during the day. The first stanza talks about slipping out when the night is young and fever hasn't struck, which could refer to a desire to escape reality or responsibilities. The line "Pieces are sold and bought for filling up your time" could mean that people are willing to waste time and money on temporary means of distracting themselves from their problems. The next line "Heights can cost a lifetime if you find them in the corners" could be saying that the excitement of achieving something great can take a toll on one's life if they find it in hidden or shady places. The last line of the stanza "Hoards, they wait and cluster just to get in line" could describe a crowd of people waiting to access something desirable, like a party or event.

The second stanza repeats the idea of being set up to fall, potentially meaning that someone was betrayed or deceived. The repetition of "They set me up, they set me up to fall and" could point to a hopeless situation where someone is being targeted or sabotaged. However, the chorus provides some hope by urging the listener to go for what they want in the dark. The repetition of "What you waiting for" emphasizes that time is ticking and one should act before it's too late. The chorus also has a seductive tone with the line "if you want it, come and get it in the dark," which could suggest that the desire may be something taboo or secretive.

Overall, the lyrics seem to suggest a thrill-seeking desire for something that may be hidden or dangerous. The urgency in the chorus implies that the stakes are high and the listener should seize whatever opportunity presents itself.
