Dark Horse
Shaun Track Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are,
But you better choose carefully
′Cause I, I'm capable of anything
Of anything, and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don′t, make me your enemy
Your enemy
Your enemy

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I′m coming at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm?
′Cause once you're mine, once you′re mine
There's no going back! (Hey!)

Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird, like a bird without a cage
We′re down to earth,
If you choose to walk away
Don't walk away.
It′s in the palm of your hand now baby
It's a yes or a no
No maybe, so just be sure
Before you give it up to me
Up to me, give it up to me

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
Cause I′m coming at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm?




′Cause once you're mine, once you′re mine
There's no going back!

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of "Dark Horse," the singer is addressing someone who has come to her, but she warns them to choose wisely. She believes that she is capable of anything and everything, but she wants to be the person's "Aphrodite" and "one and only" rather than their enemy. The chorus then moves to a more confrontational tone as the singer challenges the person to "play with magic." She warns them that if they do, they should know what they're getting into because once they're hers, there's no going back. The second verse continues the imagery of magic and love, with the singer promising that if the person gives themselves to her, she will make them "levitate like a bird" and they won't feel trapped like "a bird without a cage."


The lyrics of "Dark Horse" draw heavily on themes of magic and power, with the singer describing herself as capable of anything and everything. She presents herself as a person to be feared and respected, with the warning not to make her an enemy. While the chorus may seem like it's describing a romantic relationship, it could also be interpreted as a power struggle or a warning against underestimating the singer. The juxtaposition of the first and second verses may also suggest that the singer is trying to lure someone in with promises of freedom and magic, but will ultimately hold power over them.
