DARK Lyrics – WesGhost

[Verse 1: WesGhost]
In this section, WesGhost introduces the dynamic of the relationship, where both he and the other person are drawn to each other’s toxic traits. The singer's acknowledgment of being "bad" and appealing to the other person’s attraction to pain and chaos sets the stage for the unhealthy connection. The mention of tattoos and scars highlights the physical manifestations of their past hurts and emotional baggage, while the singer’s actions, like kissing the other person on the neck, represent how their physical connection is tied to the emotional pain they both carry.

[Pre-Chorus: WesGhost]
WesGhost reveals that the other person claims to be emotionally unavailable, stating their heart has nothing left. However, the singer sees through this facade, recognizing that the other person’s feelings run deeper than just physical attraction. Despite both of them being "crazy" and "toxic," there’s an underlying emotional connection that neither is willing to fully admit. This section underscores the fact that both individuals are pretending to keep the relationship casual, but their behavior suggests a deeper, unspoken attachment.

[Chorus: WesGhost]
In the chorus, WesGhost refers to himself as a "star," but only visible in the dark, which symbolizes how he only thrives or reveals his true self in emotionally dark or toxic situations. The "black hole in my heart" suggests that there is an emptiness within him, a void that prevents him from truly loving or connecting with others. He warns against falling in love, as he believes his emotional state is too broken to sustain a healthy relationship. The chorus highlights the theme of emotional emptiness and self-destruction.

[Post-Chorus: WesGhost]
The post-chorus serves as a repeated warning to not fall in love, reinforcing the singer’s fear of emotional intimacy. WesGhost is cautious, recognizing that any deeper connection would lead to pain or disappointment. The repetition of this phrase suggests that he is trying to convince both himself and the other person to keep their emotional distance, as falling in love would only lead to further hurt.

[Verse 2: WesGhost]
In this verse, WesGhost continues the theme of emotional detachment, suggesting that they can "fake it for the night." He’s fully aware that they are both pretending not to miss each other or care about the relationship on a deeper level, but this is merely a lie they tell themselves. By pushing their feelings aside and treating the relationship as something temporary, they are avoiding the painful reality that their emotional connection is stronger than they want to admit. This section emphasizes the avoidance of vulnerability and the fear of emotional truth.

[Pre-Chorus: WesGhost]
The pre-chorus repeats, with WesGhost once again acknowledging the other person’s claim that they are emotionally unavailable. However, he knows that their actions and the way they look at him betray their true feelings. Both individuals are wrapped in their own toxicity, unable to fully confront their emotions, yet unable to completely distance themselves from one another. The repetition of this section reinforces the ongoing internal conflict between desire and emotional detachment.

[Chorus: WesGhost]
The chorus is repeated, once again drawing attention to WesGhost’s internal darkness. He continues to warn against falling in love, likening himself to a star that shines only in darkness, suggesting that he thrives in emotionally tumultuous situations but cannot sustain a healthy emotional connection. The black hole metaphor emphasizes the emptiness and emotional void he feels inside, making him incapable of love.

[Post-Chorus: WesGhost]
The post-chorus is repeated once more, reiterating the warning not to fall in love. This repetition emphasizes WesGhost’s internal struggle with emotional vulnerability. He continues to push the idea that any deeper emotional involvement will lead to disappointment or heartache, reinforcing his belief that love, in his case, is doomed to fail.
