Dark Angel
Public Enemy and MC Lyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Birth, she here on the planet Earth
Against the curse of grain and submitted brain
Trained to submit the corporate reign
Radiation range, generation pain, fear
Migraines created by megabytes
Immune the night, every flight, it ain't right (it ain't right)
Uh, to the vast alone, the world shook up the ozone
The universe with new universes within
A world within a world saving the world from danger
In the realm of darkness, saved by Dark Angel
Who am I, an angel sent from above
Showing no love to thugs that rub me the wrong way
Nothing but cold nights and long days
When the woman ain't got nothing on me
Put a thin smile, criminal, post up cause it's about to get lonely
Queen of the underworld, you let it be ?
You come here, you better be ready to stoppin' our fear
Long after you're put to rest I'll still be here
Fightin' for those in despair, Dark Angel
Can't stop it, catastrophic prophet
Bankrupt to the prophets, erupted volcanic rockets
Fibre optics use backers, reform the hackers
Reserve, real world slacker, she burn baby burns
So we can learn, crazy learnin'
Access codes, blasts to overloads
Seen the old ways explode, saved by Dark Angel
The science, robot alliance
Comes in all shapes, with fairly new apes takes for granted
God planet, dangling rage, got a train against the grain
Throwing mama's pain off the train, talking heads
Talking heads, walking dead, some living to die
Some fighting the power, some living a lie
Keeping the truth from the vocal booth
Hoping you cool, big brother scoping you
Ready to get hi-tech and dissect your brain
Then your chest and open you
Knowing a few will only make the grade
Dark Angel, from who you should be afraid
The lyrics of Public Enemy and MC Lyte's song Dark Angel Theme depict a female superhero, Dark Angel, who has been sent to planet Earth to save humanity from danger. She is against the submission to corporate reign and the curse of grain and radiation range which has caused pain and fear among generations. The world is divided into a world within a world, where new universes are formed, and Dark Angel operates in the realm of darkness to fight for those in despair. The song describes how she is fearless in fighting against evil and catastrophic prophets, and how she is not afraid to stand up to the corrupt and oppressive powers that be.
The song is an ode to female empowerment and to the triumph of good over evil. It is a reminder that we all have the potential to be heroes and that it is our duty to fight for what is right. The lyrics are a call to action for people to stand up against oppression, corruption and injustice, and to be the change that they want to see in the world. The song encourages us to be brave and to use our voices to speak up for those who cannot, and to fight for a world where equality and justice are the norm.

Nothing but cold nights and long days
Lonely and depressing existence
When the woman ain't got nothing on me
The singer is more capable than any woman
Put a thin smile, criminal, post up cause it's about to get lonely
Masking emotions, preparing for isolation and trouble
Queen of the underworld, you let it be ?
Asks if others will let them continue as queen of the underworld

Access granted, but danger of technological overload
Seen the old ways explode, saved by Dark Angel
The old ways caused problems, Dark Angel saves from them
The science, robot alliance
Science and robots united
Comes in all shapes, with fairly new apes takes for granted
Robots can take many forms, apes underestimate their power
God planet, dangling rage, got a train against the grain
The planet is in danger, majority resist change for the better
Throwing mama's pain off the train, talking heads
Ignoring the pain of the planet, only listening to authority figures
Talking heads, walking dead, some living to die
People parrot authority without thinking, some have given up hope
Some fighting the power, some living a lie
Some are rebelling, others are complacent
Keeping the truth from the vocal booth
Those in power keep the truth from being heard
Hoping you cool, big brother scoping you
Trying to stay calm, surveillance is everywhere
Ready to get hi-tech and dissect your brain
People are willing to use technology to harm others
Then your chest and open you
They will cut you open
Knowing a few will only make the grade
Only a few will survive and thrive
Dark Angel, from who you should be afraid
Dark Angel is powerful and should be feared

I love this series, I wish it could have lasted more than 2 seasons. I would love to see the rebirth of this series or a Dark Angel Movie.
@derrisbynum7182
I missed that Tv series show, Dark angel was one of my favorites since my childhood. This theme song would get me hyped and in a jamming mood when I first hear it.
@yaaracohen
THE BEST SCHI-FI SHOW that ever made! Jessica is more then FANTASTIC
@maayruiz14

@jayvonh8542
Thanks for the awesome upload Lilsis!
I've never heard this before.
Mad that Chuck D made it too!
@darrienmontiel3925
Just recently got the series. Very trippy. I was 15 when it came out. A fate Americans avoided. "They" tried resetting the world starting with 9/11. We live in a very similar time. The theme song also takes one to the Twilight zone as well....
@TheFantasy90

@Jmeon4eva
Fits much better than the season 2 voice over at the intro
@FabioEagle90
My childhood !!! Max was so sexy ❤ barcode, Kawasaki, James Cameron... I wanna season 3 !!!
@xrisapeterson3290
Do you how I could find the intro version of season 1 but on the part which says something like "they designed her to be the perfect weapon...then she escaped" ?
