Dark Come Soon Lyrics

Cover art for Dark Come Soon lyrics by Tegan and Sara

Well, I don't know about you guys, but for some reason this rings "coming out" in my mind. Tegan and Sara are both gay, as the majority of us probably know- and Sara was fine with it waay before Tegan would let the "I'm straight" thing go. I think "hide out from the ones you know will love you" kinda means that although your family will love you regardless of that one factor, you still hide it because of all the unsure thoughts. And it especially impounded the meaning when she said "So what (come on) I lied to me too" in a sense you lie to yourself. When something happens to me that deals with my sexuality (bi) that makes me really upset, just laying in the floor and listening to that song or driving around and listening to it really helps.

i know what you mean

by this point, i'm pretty confident in the fact that tegan and sara were both quite comfortable enough with their sexuality that neither one of was writing "coming out" songs.

Definitely what I think 100%. I think this is how Tegan felt right after she came out. To TheWrongGirl: This was probably her feelings from a while ago, and she decided to write the song because its a part of her past. I've NEVER seen Tegan cry like she does on stage while playing it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD82nbkq7ro

With all of the gay rights supporting Tegan does, I wouldn't doubt she feels strongly about her past with coming out.
