In the Darkest Hour
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
A modern man, a nice gentle guy
He cuts a real smart figure from his head
To his toes
Comes off him then,
He changes to a raping, pervert monster man
Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
"I'm gonna get you tonight!"
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
The upright housewife, busy with her meals -
Things like chatting with the milkman
Are her only thrills
But when the night falls and she puts
Her stocking on,
Yeah, then she gets in heavy
With the neighbor's so
Like she's a domina tonight
"I'm gonna shoot off your balls!"
Some people hide what they are
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
Rage's "In the Darkest Hour" is a haunting song that delves into the hidden and darker sides of humanity. The lyrics emphasize that the truth often reveals itself in the darkest moments, particularly when individuals are alone and vulnerable. The first verse points out that even the seemingly gentle and respectable modern man can have a hidden side. When night falls, he takes off his mask and transforms into a heinous monster who preys on others. The reference to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reinforces the concept of duality within human nature, suggesting that everyone has a darker side that they keep hidden from society.
The second verse shifts to a completely different character – an upright housewife who seems to take pleasure in mundane tasks like chatting with the milkman. But when night falls, she transforms into a dominant woman, using her stockings and other means to control her neighbor. The lyrics call to mind the concept of the Madonna-Whore complex, where men categorize women into either pure and chaste or sexually adventurous and immoral, ultimately undermining their autonomy.
Overall, "In the Darkest Hour" is a commentary on the hypocrisy that often exists within humans, revealing how people can hide their true selves or tendencies. The darkness of night serves as a metaphor for the hidden and repressed parts of the psyche that come to the forefront when society cannot see them.

Simple and mundane things like talking to the milkman
Are her only thrills
Are the only things that bring her pleasure
But when the night falls and she puts
But when darkness arrives and she has privacy
Her stocking on,
Wearing something that enhances her femininity
Yeah, then she gets in heavy
She indulges in something that is excessive and inappropriate
With the neighbor's so
Having an affair or sexual encounter with the neighbor
Like she's a domina tonight
Acting like a dominant partner during a sexual encounter
"I'm gonna shoot off your balls!"
Threatening to inflict harm during a sexual encounter
Some people hide what they are
Some individuals conceal their true nature
In the darkest hour
Amidst the toughest times
It is time for the truth
Truth becomes more evident and transparent
When you're fast asleep
When you're least expecting it or when you're vulnerable

Thanks for posting this one! Fantastic song, especially like the drum fills. I used to play this to encourage my drunken friends to leave the morning after parties...they hated this band, so I'd crank it LOUD.
