Darkness
Embracing Liberation: Escaping the Shadows of Deception
Lyrics
See I'm not exactly what's in store
Uncertain about what the future holds for me
Being with you is not really for me
Being in a relationship with you doesn't suit me
I've gotta be free
Desire for freedom and independence
I'm a fool for staying this long
Feeling foolish for staying in this situation for so long
Thinking you'd change for me
Mistakenly believing that you would change for my sake
See I'm not exactly what's in store
Similar to line #1: Uncertain about what's ahead
Precious time I've never had before
Regret for not having enough time for myself previously
You came into my life
Your entrance into my life
I never wanted someone to see you
Never wished for someone to witness the relationship between you and me
and me alone
Desire for privacy and solitude with you
If only I'd known how you treat me
Regret for not knowing earlier how poorly you would treat me
I would of ran long ago
Wish to have left this relationship earlier upon realization
Darkness, please don't take me
Pleading with darkness (a metaphor) not to consume or engulf the speaker due to their association with you
Just from being with you
Fear of being consumed or negatively affected by the relationship
Well can they not see, why didn't they tell me
Surprise that others couldn't see your true nature, questioning why they didn't warn me
Who you really become
Realization of your true nature and behavior
I took a good turn and hit a bad nerve
Attempting to make things better but causing harm instead
Something I never should have done
Regret for taking actions that worsened the situation
Darkness, darkness
Repetition of the plea to darkness, symbolic of the potential danger or negativity associated with the relationship
Please don't take me
Reiteration of the plea to avoid being consumed or affected by the relationship
Darkness, Please don't me
Similar to line #13: Pleading with darkness
Just from being with you
Reiteration of the fear of being consumed or negatively affected by the relationship
Darkness, Darkness
Repetition of the plea to darkness, emphasizing the fear of its consequences
Please don't take me
Reiteration of the fear of being consumed or affected by the relationship
Nah
Expression of finality or resignation
