in the dark Lyrics

In the dark, in the dark
Ooh, I've done it again
Dug a little deep and it's all caved in
Now, I free fall in a black hole
I know I'm getting warm 'cause I feel so cold

But I'm looking on the bright side now
Tryna figure out somehow
(None of this is real, no)
It's looking like I write off now
I think we need to talk like now

So don't swear to God, He never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
It's not His world you turned inside out
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me

In the dark, in the dark
Deathblow, look at you go
Brought a T-62 to a Rodeo
So tall, it broke the fourth wall
Guess my fairy tale has a few plot holes

Well, I'm looking on the bright side now
Tryna figure out somehow
(None of this is real, no)
You can give the act up now
Yeah, go ahead and take a bow

So don't swear to God, He never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
It's not His world you turned inside out
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, in the dark
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, in the dark

I'm not looking for salvation
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
I'm not looking for salvation
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
I'm not looking for salvation (Oh no, 'cause it's all come caving in)
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
I'm not looking for salvation
Just a little faith in anyone or anything
And it's time I knew you, so

Don't swear to God, He never asked you (Oh no)
It's not His heart you drove a knife through (Oh no)
It's not His world you turned inside out (Inside out)
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark
Don't swear to God, He never asked you
It's not His heart you drove a knife through
In the dark
It's not His world you turned inside out (Inside out)
Not His tears still rolling down
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold
Don't you know you've lost control?
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark
Don't swear to God, He never asked you (Oh no)
It's not His heart you drove a knife through (Oh no)
In the dark
It's not His world you turned inside out (Oh no)
Not His tears still rolling down (You're so damn cold)
Jesus Christ, you're so damn cold (You're so damn cold)
Don't you know you've lost control? (Oh, oh)
Forget about the things you think I know
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, in the dark
No secrets, you can't keep me
In the dark, in the dark

Cover art for in the dark lyrics by Bring Me the Horizon

This is my first time doing this publicly so be kind lol. He is referring to how this person was hurt by someone extremely bad. Even though they did the deed they are acting nonchalant about it. So innocent in their touristic endeavor. The innocent till proven guilty person .Destroyed this guy no one even took his story credible except Oli. So Oli confronts this person with this song. "Its not his" speaking how they act coy like they did nothing. He is not in the dark about what happen and is expressing to them that he knows what all happened. It is casting a story and foreboding about this guy who's world was completely decimated by someone else. Notice he said's like I stated earlier " not his" Being like speaking, Oh your right it is not his playing on his or her innocent act. He is coming to air out their dirty laundry and make them face the consequences.

As for the songs meaning vocalist Oli Sykes explained that the visual in the tracks music video is "meant to be a representation of the grieving process. It's a visual metaphor for what the song is talking about." Sykes added: "Forest (actor Forest Whitaker who stars in the vid) is the protagonist & a lot of people are counting on him to be able to recall these memories and process them. The spectrum of his emotions is impacting on all of these different experiments. I wanted it to have a message for what's going on in the world right now."
