DARK

WesGhost's song "DARK" delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship, where both partners are drawn to each other's dark sides. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who are aware of their flaws and embrace them, finding a twisted sense of compatibility in their shared toxicity. The repeated lines "You crazy, you toxic, but baby so am I" highlight this mutual recognition and acceptance of their destructive tendencies. This relationship is not built on love or trust but rather on a shared understanding of pain and chaos.

The song's chorus, "I'm a motherfucking star, only see me when it's dark," serves as a metaphor for the artist's self-awareness of his own darkness. The imagery of a star only visible in the dark suggests that his true self is only revealed in moments of emotional turmoil or negativity. The line "Black hole in my heart" further emphasizes the emptiness and void within, indicating a lack of emotional depth or capacity for genuine love. The repeated warning "Don't fall in love" acts as a cautionary note, underscoring the transient and superficial nature of their connection.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of pretense and denial. Lines like "We can fake it for the night" and "Keep pretending you don't miss me" suggest that both partners are aware of the facade they are maintaining. They choose to ignore their true feelings and the inevitable pain that comes with their toxic relationship. This sense of denial is a coping mechanism, allowing them to continue their destructive dance without confronting the deeper issues at play. WesGhost's "DARK" is a raw and unflinching exploration of the allure and dangers of toxic love, capturing the intensity and complexity of such relationships.
