Dark Prince
Young Heretics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dark prince
Take your lonely hands off me
In the dark I have seen your
Lonely blood filled beating heart
Oh no

And dark prince
Set his handsome eyes on me

And through the crowd could see
Another heart beating

And dark prince
Don't pretend you've learned to breathe
You know they all agree
You have never held a pulse till now

I need more than a body to keep me warm at night
I need more than a vampire with blood and lust in his eyes

With blood and lust in your eyes.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Young Heretics's Dark Prince describe a cautionary tale of a young woman who recognizes the danger of being seduced by a dark prince. Throughout the song, the singer pleads for the dark prince to leave her alone and stop pursuing her. The imagery of a "lonely blood-filled beating heart" suggests that the dark prince is also searching for someone to connect with, but his motives are sinister. The singer admits that she is aware of the dark prince's allure and is tempted by his "handsome eyes," but ultimately realizes that she needs more than just passion and physical attraction to sustain a healthy relationship.

The song can be interpreted as a warning against falling prey to toxic relationships and seeking fulfillment in the wrong places. The dark prince represents a dangerous lover who may be charming and alluring initially but is ultimately destructive. The singer recognizes that she needs something deeper than just physical attraction to form a lasting bond with someone.
