Alone in the Dark
The E's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don’t know, you don’t know
What do I know?
You don’t know, you don’t know
Cause your eyes closed
You don’t know, you don’t know
Where my mind goes
You don’t know, you don’t know
But I might though
I’ve been going through my high
Like I’ve seen this whole thing before
But what happens when the flows run dry
And the reasons start to be reformed?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see that you hate my kind
I can see it in your eyes
You can see that there’s dark in mine
That’s why it’s, on sight
One bite, I get to fishing it’s gon’ be a long night
The wrong place at the wrong time
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Dark days and
Dark nights
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Heart races
Heart dies
I hit the switch and you gon see my dark side
And you don’t know me no more
Swear I’ve been through the storm and you ignored
And you should roll me one more
We roll as friends but then go our own course
I’ve been away
I’ve been away
I’ve been away
I’ve been gone and you stayed
I couldn’t wait
You wouldn’t change
I went away, now it’s gone and too late
Cause I’ve been going through my high
Like I’ve seen this whole thing before
But what happens when the flows run dry
And the reasons start to be reformed?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see that you hate my kind
I can see it in your eyes
You can see that there’s dark in mine
That’s why it’s it’s, on sight
One bite, I get to fishing it’s gon’ be a long night
The wrong place at the wrong time
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Dark days and
Dark nights
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Heart races
Heart dies
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Bipolar tendencies
Sure to make some enemies
A sword is like my pen and ink it gets stuck when it’s in too deep
And you're pretend to me, swore that you’d be in for me
Epitome of “friend to me”
With emphasized parentheses
You lack the empathy
Sent me in like the infantry
Came out with countless injuries
And still ain’t get no sympathy
I’m like the center piece
Swear that I got the remedy
Intervene just to make this shit interesting in the industry
That’s why it’s it’s, on sight
One bite, I get to fishing it’s gon’ be a long night
The wrong place at the wrong time
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Dark days and
Dark nights
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
Heart races
Heart dies
I hit the switch and you gon’ see my dark side
You don’t know, you don’t know
What do I know?
You don’t know, you don’t know
Cause your eyes closed
You don’t know, you don’t know
Where my mind goes
You don’t know, you don’t know
But I might though
You don’t know, you don’t know
What do I know?
You don’t know, you don’t know
Cause your eyes closed
You don’t know, you don’t know
Where my mind goes




You don’t know, you don’t know
But I might though

Overall Meaning

The E's song "Alone In The Dark" is a complex and emotionally charged track that delves into themes of mental health, cutting ties with toxic relationships, and the struggle to find oneself. The opening lines of "you don’t know, you don’t know, what do I know?" highlight the disconnect between the singer and those around them, emphasizing feelings of loneliness and isolation. The repeated phrase "you don’t know" brings up the idea of misunderstanding, and the singer's frustrations in not being able to communicate their thoughts and experiences effectively to others.


The chorus of the song, "Dark days and Dark nights, I hit the switch and you gon' see my dark side, heart races heart dies," is a powerful and haunting expression of mental turmoil. The lyrics express the unpredictability of the singer's behavior and emotions, the highs and lows that come along with their struggles with mental health. The metaphor of "hit the switch" serves to emphasize the sudden and uncontrollable nature of these emotions or actions, while "heart races heart dies" speaks to the physical toll that such struggles can take on a person's body and mind.


The second verse delves even deeper into the singer's frustrations with those around them, particularly when it comes to friendships that have become toxic. The line "you lack the empathy, sent me in like the infantry, came out with countless injuries, and still ain’t get no sympathy" is particularly impactful, as it highlights how those who are struggling with mental health issues are often left to fend for themselves, even by those who claim to care about them. The singer's assertion that they are "like a centerpiece, swear that I got the remedy, intervene just to make this shit interesting in the industry" speaks to a sense of determination to find a way forward, even in the face of adversity and misunderstanding.


Overall, "Alone In The Dark" is a powerful expression of the emotional and psychological struggles that often go unseen by those around us. Through its poignant lyrics and haunting melodies, the track serves as a reminder to be compassionate and understanding towards those who may be struggling, even when we don't fully understand what they're going through.
