Afraid Of The Dark
ezi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My, my, how did I fall in this hole again?
I should know better than this (better than this)
Time flies, funny when you′re getting older
I should know better than this (better than this)

Think I fell too deep and it hurts so hard (hurt so hard)
How you're getting me to let my guard down for you (down for you)
And you′re bringing out all the reckless parts
But I love it, oh, I love it

I'm afraid of the dark
I get lost in the thought of what I'll do with you
I′m afraid of the dark
Always take it too far when I′m with you, with you

Oh shit, I feel like Alice
Woke up in a rabbithole last night
Made it look like a palace (like a palace)
You broke in, even though I left my door open
Now I'm taking sips of your potion
Take control of all my emotions (emotions)

Think I fell too deep and it hurts so hard (hurts so hard)
How you′re getting me to let my guard down for you (down for you)
And you're bringing out all the reckless parts
But I love it, oh, I love it

I′m afraid of the dark
I get lost in the thought of what I'll do with you
I′m afraid of the dark
Always take it too far (too far) when I'm with you, with you

I'm afraid, I′m afraid (I′m afraid, I'm afraid)
Pray that it′ll be okay, know that it'll be okay
I′m afraid, I'm afraid (I′m afraid, I'm afraid)
Know that it'll be okay ′cause I kinda like when I′m with...

'Cause I kinda like when I′m with...





'Cause I kinda like when I′m with...

Overall Meaning

The song "Afraid of the Dark" by Ezi explores a fear of vulnerability in a new relationship. The artist reflects on the past mistakes she has made, questioning how she fell into the same pattern of emotional recklessness. Despite knowing better, she finds herself falling deep for her partner and letting her guard down, which terrifies her. The repeated line, "I'm afraid of the dark," symbolizes this fear of the unknown and the fear of losing control.


The second verse introduces a reference to Alice in Wonderland, likening the experience of falling in love to falling down a rabbit hole. The artist describes her partner breaking into her world and making it look beautiful, as if casting a spell on her. She acknowledges that her emotions are out of control and that she has taken sips of her partner's "potion," implying that she has become addicted to the rush.


The chorus repeats the artist's fear of losing control and going too far with her partner, but also brings in a sense of hope that everything will be okay because, deep down, she likes this feeling.


Overall, "Afraid of the Dark" portrays the ups and downs of vulnerability in a new relationship and the fear of losing control. It acknowledges the danger of giving into emotions but also the thrill of taking risks for love.
