The Dark
e.o Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pussy willow that smiled on my sleeve
When I was alone, you promised a stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground,
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please...please lift a hand, I'm only a person
Whose armbands beat on his hands hang tall
Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?
Strumming the sand
Please lift a hand, I'm only a person
With Eskimo chain, you tattered my brain all the way
Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?
The lyrics in "The Dark" by e.o. are full of emotion and reflect a feeling of loneliness and disconnect from someone or something that was once a source of support. The line, "Oh where are you now?" sets the tone for the entire song, with the singer searching for a connection that seems to have disappeared. The reference to the "pussy willow that smiled on my sleeve" is a metaphor for a person or thing that offered comfort and solace. The promise of a "stone from your heart" implies loyalty and a deep emotional bond.
The verse, "My head kissed the ground, I was half the way down, treading the sand" conveys a sense of defeat and weariness. The singer is feeling vulnerable and asking for help with the line, "Please...please lift a hand, I'm only a person." The armbands beating on the hands show a struggle to stay afloat or a metaphor for the difficulties someone may face in life. The repetition of the phrase, "Won't you miss me? Why don't you miss me at all?" shows the singer's desperation for a connection that seems to have been lost.
The line, "With Eskimo chain, you tattered my brain all the way" may be a reference to a specific person or a memory that has left a deep impact on the singer's mind. The use of "Eskimo chain" adds a unique element to the song and sets it apart from other lyrics that rely on more common metaphors or imagery.

Lyrics
Be careful making wishes in the dark dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark, mark
And besides in the mean, mean time
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
I'm on fire
In the dark dark
In the dark dark
All the writers keep writing what they write, write
Somewhere another pretty vein just died
I've got the scars from tomorrow and
I wish you could see, see
That you’re the antidote to everything except for me, me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
I'm on fire
In the dark dark
In the dark dark
My songs know what you did in the dark (My songs know what you did in the dark)
So light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
Light 'em up up up
I'm on fire
In the dark dark
In the dark dark

Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh
Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lovers rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I'm on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I'm on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love
Then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I'm on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I'm on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
My songs know what you did in the dark

I pick up all the kids here in the dark, dark
Not even 6 according to my - clock
I think that I'm
making good time
Gonna make it to the school parking lot
I know the stree-streets like a mapper
Kids in the back tryn' to be - rappers.
Just got to get them to the school
That is why they pay me, fool.
Then do it in reverse right after.
I drop the kids off at the school parking lot.
I pick em up, up, up
And Drop em off, off, off
I pick em up, up, up
School Bus Driver!
I pick em up, up, up
And Drop em off, off, off
I pick em up, up, up
School Bus Driver!
