Dark Passenger
Ravenscode Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Part of me You'll never know
You'll never see this side in any mirror
It's a face that You see locked away
For all therse years
Scratching at all the locks
Searching endlessly to find a key
Never had a moments rest
Cuz I know that he's

Along for the ride
Wherever I go
This feeling inside
Wish that I didn't know
Well I can hold him off
But it's starting show
My Dark Passenger
He's all I've ever

Knowing is a fallacy
And nothing motivates quiet like fear
When your afraid to ask the question
"Why we're here?"
Don't even try to hide
Cuz he always knows where you've been
About time that you learn
You're not alone cuz' he's

Along for the ride
Wherever I go
This feeling inside
Wish that I didn't know
Well I can hold him off
But it's starting show
My Dark Passenger
He's out of control

Along for the ride
Wherever I go
This feeling inside
Wish that I didn't know
Well I can hold him off
But it's starting show




My Dark Passenger
He's out of control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ravenscode’s song ‘Dark Passenger’ convey a sense of a hidden persona or a ‘dark passenger’ within oneself that is often concealed from others. The opening lines, "Part of me you'll never know, you'll never see this side in any mirror", suggests that there is a hidden aspect of the self that the singer is afraid to reveal. He is aware of it, but he keeps it locked away, as it might be something he is ashamed of. The lines "Scratching at all the locks, searching endlessly to find a key, never had a moment's rest, cuz I know that he's" suggest an internal struggle and an unending quest to understand this darker self.


The chorus of the song emphasizes that the dark passenger is always with the singer, wherever he goes. The lyrics "Along for the ride, wherever I go, this feeling inside, wish that I didn't know" express the frustration and fear that the singer feels towards this darker self that is always present. He tries to hold it off, but it is starting to show, and he is losing control over it.


The song suggests that everyone has a dark side or a hidden self that they struggle to control. The lyrics "Knowing is a fallacy, and nothing motivates quiet like fear, when you're afraid to ask the question, 'Why we're here?'" suggest that sometimes it is better to not know, as fear can motivate and drive individuals towards seeking answers. In the end, the singer realizes that he is not alone in this struggle as the dark passenger is present in everyone.
