Ooh
Pretty face with two sides
So what's it gonna be tonight?
Dark days, I'm terrified
I know that something isn't right
You take what you want
Pretty face with two sides
So what's it gonna be tonight?
I'm in my house in the Hills with the Reaper
And I wonder if he knows what I've done
I've got the keys and I'm going off the deep end
Doesn't hurt when you're doing it for fun
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
(Am I in your-)
I pull the trigger just to show her that I need her
But she don't really trust anyone
Yeah, everybody's always lookin' for a feature
And no one's steppin' up to be the one
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Pretty face with two sides
So what's it gonna be tonight?
Tart taste, I'm terrified
I know that something isn't right
You take what you want
Then you leave when you're done
Pretty face with two sides
So what's it gonna be tonight?
I'm in my house in the Hills with the Reaper
And I wonder if he knows what I've done
I've got the keys and I'm going off the deep end
Doesn't hurt when you're doing it for fun
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Am I in your way? Ayy, ayy, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

The Chainsmokers/Amy Shark's song "The Reaper" speaks of a pretty face with two sides and the dark days that come along with it. The singer is terrified of something not being right, and the person with the two-sided face takes what they want and leaves once they've had their fill. They wonder whether they are getting in the way of this person and are struggling to figure out what is happening. They find themselves in their house in the Hills with the Reaper and wonder whether he knows what they've done. Despite hurting, they're doing it for fun.
There is an evident conflict in the song between one's innocent and dark sides, which is a shared human experience. At times, people want to be good and do good, but they are lured by the thrill of danger, and they give in to their dark side, leading to negative consequences. The house in the Hills with the Reaper could be symbolic of the deathly end that awaits people who choose to keep feeding their dark side.
Overall, the song "The Reaper" is a relatable piece about the human psyche that highlights the struggle between good and evil, right and wrong.
