In The Dark Lyrics

Cover art for In The Dark lyrics by Flyleaf

to me this song is about the conversion of a person...
I've written songs (in the dark) I've felt inspired (in the dark) I hide myself (in the dark) Used to be afraid (of the dark) ...could be an artist, or just a common person... Those in the light know we die (in the dark) here she regards to the christians. We know the people is dying in the darkness of this world, but most of the time we just stand aside and watch how the Enemy is destroying the lifes of even our beloved... There's only artificial light here there's only vanity in this world... My flaws hide well here in the darkness of this world our sins are not noticed because there's always somebody "worse" than me... I used to be afraid of cluttered noises Now I'm afraid of silence little kids get frightened when they hear a strong sound, but as we grow up we learn to live surrounded by noise. we are so accustomed to it that we are afraid to be alone with ourselves, and listen to our consciences... Fill this space, idle words when we are away from God, we trie to fill our emptyness with the vanity of this world... I'm scared to death of light and silence Jesus kill me inside this Raise me up to live again Like you did, like you did finally, she is face to face with the only person that can truly fill her, but she's affraid of the change. She ask Jesus to "kill" her and give her the NEW LIFE... Now I'm mute, despite myself All of them are gone The silence overtakes me The idle words forsake me and I am left to face me finally, she takes on her lonelyness.Now she knows that is essential for her forgiveness to look inside herself and see that she is a sinner, and she needs to be changed, to leave behind those "idle words" and the vanity of this world...
I'm held accountable for every idle word Curse the idle words like LBrennanvw said, this is a reference to Matthew 12:36. She is conscious of her sins, and she ask to be cleaned of them... Glory shows up, exposes us I'm naked here, forsaken here By the dark, by the dark Damn the dark she can feel the presence of God in her life...there's no way to escape, and she doesnt want to, because it's taking away all the darkness inside...

My Interpretation

I fully agree with you. The finding of faith and being baptised.

When I get baptised I'll get submerged to reinact death, to be raised, reborn to live like Jeshua (Yeshua vocally said in one of Flyleaf's other songs).

=3 Brilliant interpratation. (Sp?)
