Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know though, you don't know
Wanna tell you that I really need you
I don't need you, I don't need
I see now it's my time
My whole life, was a crime
Vicious voice in my mind
She's the night, my dark side
Whys my life, one big fight
Waking up there's no light
She's the night, my dark side
Come join me in my brain
Don't give it a second thought
We can bask in this pain
You know that it's your fault
Bring out the worst in me
My demons is what you'll see
But I can't let it be
Can I change, guess we'll see
Tell me what is up tell me what to do now
I give you my time but you give me none
You just wanna fuck you just wanna go down
That's not on my mind I just want your love
I know your luck is up nothing to prove now
I hate this town I wish I could move out
I gotta suck it up gotta get a move now
Still feel your shots like I'm in a shootout
I see now it's my time
My whole life, was a crime
Vicious voice in my mind
She's the night, my dark side
Is this my nightmare ride
Whys my life, one big fight
Waking up there's no light
She's the night, my dark side

Your trying to tell me what to do now
You're attempting to dictate my actions to me
You don't know though, you don't know
But you are unaware of the details of my situation
Wanna tell you that I really need you
I feel a strong desire to express my dependence on you
I don't need you, I don't need
However, I am aware that I am capable of functioning without you
I see now it's my time
I have come to the realization that this is the moment for me to assert myself
My whole life, was a crime
I have retrospectively acknowledged that my existence has been filled with immoral actions
Vicious voice in my mind
There exists a harmful inner monologue within me
She's the night, my dark side
This harmful force is represented by a feminine entity and is associated with the night time, which is a symbol of darkness
Is this my nightmare ride
I am unsure if my present experience is a horrendous nightmare or a disturbing reality
Whys my life, one big fight
My existence seems to be one prolonged struggle
Waking up there's no light
I am waking up from a period of inactivity or rest but I cannot see a way forward
Come join me in my brain
I heavily suggest that you enter my thought process
Don't give it a second thought
Please don't hesitate to act on this request
We can bask in this pain
We might find pleasure in experiencing some emotional discomfort
You know that it's your fault
Your actions have contributed to this unpleasant situation
Bring out the worst in me
You have the ability to inspire the most negative qualities in me
My demons is what you'll see

But I can't let it be
I cannot allow this to continue
Can I change, guess we'll see
Whether or not I can modify my behavior is uncertain
Tell me what is up tell me what to do now
Can you provide me with some guidance as to what action to take?
I give you my time but you give me none
I am willing to invest effort into this relationship, but you are not reciprocating
You just wanna fuck you just wanna go down
It appears that you merely wish to have sexual intercourse and not engage in emotional intimacy
That's not on my mind I just want your love
I am more interested in forming a genuine emotional bond with you than engaging in physical intimacy
I know your luck is up nothing to prove now
I am aware of your past successes and do not feel that you have anything to prove
I hate this town I wish I could move out
I have a strong dislike for this location and desire to relocate
I gotta suck it up gotta get a move now
I must accept my current situation and take action to change it
Still feel your shots like I'm in a shootout
I continue to be affected by the verbal or emotional attacks you have made against me
She's the night, my dark side
The negative force within me is represented by a feminine entity and is associated with the night time, which is a symbol of darkness
