Talisha Karrer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And here you are, you better choose carefully
′Cause I, I'm capable of anything
And everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
Don′t make me your enemy
Your enemy
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
′Cause I′m coming at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm?
'Cause once you′re mine, once you're mine
There′s no going back
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
Just be sure before you give it all to me
Give it all to me
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you′re fallin′ 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
There's no going back
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you′re fallin' 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
There′s no going back
There's no going back
In Talisha Karrer's song "Dark Horse," the lyrics suggest that the singer is in control of her choices and capable of anything. She warns a potential lover to choose carefully and not make her an enemy, implying that she is not to be underestimated. She expresses her desire to be the one and only for her partner and not just an option. The chorus is an invitation to "play with magic" and a warning that once they are together, there is no going back.
The song then goes on to describe the potential outcomes of their relationship. The love is powerful enough to make the partner levitate like a bird without a cage, suggesting freedom and transcendence. However, the singer acknowledges that they may also choose to walk away, and it's up to them to decide. The lyrics convey a sense of confidence and strength, with the singer in control of the situation.
Interestingly, the title of the song "Dark Horse" refers to a person or thing that may seem unimpressive or unimportant at first but has the potential to surprise others with their success or achievements. This adds another layer of meaning to the lyrics, suggesting that the singer may be underestimated but should not be taken lightly.
