The Dark
P.H. Fat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big grey eyes
Hands and throats and quiet types
What’s the harm in
Just one charm if
You can’t hold your horses
It’s dark forces
Dark forces are breaking me
(Dark forces)
Dark forces no I can’t break free
Well your hex on me is ecstasy
Velvet touch
Voice so sweet
Candlelight and Sorcery
What’s the harm in
Just one charm if
You can’t hold your horses
It’s dark forces
Dark forces are breaking me
Dark forces got me on my knees
(Dark forces)
Dark forces no I can’t break free
Well your hex on me is ecstasy
Dark forces are breaking me
Dark forces got me on my knees
(Dark forces)
Dark forces no I can’t break free
Well your hex on me is ecstasy
Ooooh
Woah, woah, woah
O-o-oh
Woah, woah, woah
O-o-o-oh
Woah, woah, woah
O-o-oh
Woah, woah, woah
Oh
Dark forces are breaking me
Dark forces got me on my knees
Dark forces no I can’t break free
Well your hex on me is ecstasy
(Dark forces)
Dark forces are breaking me
Dark forces got me on my knees
(Dark forces)
Dark forces no I can’t break free
Well your hex on me is ecstasy
(Dark forces)
Dark forces are breaking me
Your dark forces got me on my knees
Dark forces no I can’t break free
Well your hex on me is ecstasy
The song "The Dark" by P.H. Fat explores the theme of being under the spell of someone, unable to break free from their manipulative ways. The lyrics describe a person who is physically attractive and charming but has a darker side, using magic ("hex," "sorcery") to control the singer. The singer is clearly aware of the harm being done but is unable to resist the temptation, despite being brought to their knees by the "dark forces." The use of repetition, particularly the chorus of "dark forces are breaking me / dark forces got me on my knees / dark forces no I can't break free / well, your hex on me is ecstasy," emphasizes the powerlessness of the singer and the overwhelming influence of the other person.
The imagery used in the lyrics is also significant. The long fur coat and big grey eyes suggest luxury and mystique, while the candlelight and velvet touch evoke sensuality and coziness. However, these alluring qualities are juxtaposed with "hands and throats and quiet types" which imply violence and danger. Thus, there is a sense of being drawn in by someone's charms only to discover their true nature, which is both seductive and frightening.
Overall, "The Dark" is a haunting and atmospheric song that captures the feeling of being under someone's spell. The combination of catchy beats and eerie lyrics creates a sense of tension, leaving the listener unsettled yet compelled to keep listening.
