Song Meaning of “I Love the Darkness in You” by The 69 Eyes
“I Love the Darkness in You” is a song about embracing your shadows, both literally and figuratively. The narrator of the song is drawn to someone they love who, like them, isn’t afraid of their inner darkness. They see it as not only accepting but a source of new strength and understanding. They know that together they can be more than either of them could be alone. The darkness isn’t seen as something to be afraid of, but something that can be embraced and celebrated. It’s a message of accepting not only yourself, but someone else for who they truly are, regardless of any darkness or shadows they may have. It’s the idea that through understanding and being together, both parties can be stronger.
