VIOLENT FEMMES
- In The Dark Lyrics / with translationsHe's in the dark, night is his friend
He's on a mission that can never end
He has a hart that was broke long ago
He has more women than you'll ever know
Hi daddy, hi daddy, hi daddy ho
Hey daddy, hi daddy, no one will know
No one will know
He has a laughter and he has the fame
Gets what he's after and wins the last game
Knows how to kiss and he knows how to fly
His life at risk but he never will die,
Hey daddy ho, daddy, hey daddy, hi
Hey daddy ho, daddy, never will die
Never will die
What does he get out of playing his game?
Life of regret and a mother's shame
When he is done and his task it is through
His race is won and is completed too
Then to unwind with a close friend or two
Ask not for me but he'll give it to you
Hey daddy ho, daddy, hi daddy, who?
Hey daddy ho, he will give it to you
Give it to you
He's in the dark and the night is his friend
He's on a mission that can never end
He's on a mission that can never end
He has a hart that was broke long ago
He has more women than you'll ever know
Hi daddy, hi daddy, hi daddy ho
Hey daddy, hi daddy, no one will know
No one will know
He has a laughter and he has the fame
Gets what he's after and wins the last game
Knows how to kiss and he knows how to fly
His life at risk but he never will die,
Hey daddy ho, daddy, hey daddy, hi
Hey daddy ho, daddy, never will die
What does he get out of playing his game?
Life of regret and a mother's shame
When he is done and his task it is through
His race is won and is completed too
Then to unwind with a close friend or two
Ask not for me but he'll give it to you
Hey daddy ho, daddy, hi daddy, who?
Hey daddy ho, he will give it to you
Give it to you
He's in the dark and the night is his friend
He's on a mission that can never end

✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, by Violent Femmes, the song 'In The Dark' illustrates a persona who is a master of the dark and dangerous world, going through a life that is exhilarating and full of victories. There is a hidden theme of emptiness and lament on the part of the protagonist who is otherwise seen as successful, thus all the more pointing to the negative consequences of his actions and the suffering they cause his relationships and the image he has built up. In the dark lyrics heavily signal to the audience the presence of various emotions including angst, heartbreak, reflection, despair, and through that also providing social commentary. Simultaneously, the song put the light on the aspects of loneliness and isolation as a necessary part of fame, mourning over it, and final outcomes. The text is rich with the themes of adult relationships and emotional battles which might be a bit too much for very young kids to handle. But since there are no instances of profanity, violence, or drug use, the resulting rating would be PG nonetheless.
