Darker Side Lyrics
Note:written by Bruce McCabe
performed by Jonny Lang
Look at the man with the smile on his face
Looks like he’s always feelin’ good
Sometimes you might want to take his place
and sometimes I think that you would
When the sun is goin’ down
and there is no place to hide
Even in the brightest light
you might lean toward the darker side
Look at the people, they learn how to lie so easy
They learn how to lie to get what they need
and after they got what they needed
It turns into a simple case of greed
When they no longer feel ashamed
and they’ve lost all sense of pride
Misery loves company
and it’s lonely on the darker side
And when the party is over
and the music has died
You’ll be dancin’ to the music, baby
somewhere on the darker side
Somewhere on the darker side

I thought this was kind of the opposite of "Lie to Me." I think this song is saying that people deceive themselves so much that they eventually stop noticing that they're doing it. That's when they cross over to the "darker side." It's a natural thing to do, "even in the brightest light." Sort of a grass is always greener thing. But it's still a bad place to be.
