Analysis of I Like the Dark

Scared of the dawn
When I will have to face
Everything I've been trying to escape

Scared of the light
Cause it shows my ugly side
I can't face it, no matter how hard I try

But then the sun sets
Nothing to be scared of
My flaws can't be seen
Because the night
It hides everything

I know people say
They don’t like the dark
But I do
I know people say
They’re scared of the night
But to me, that’s not true

I like the dark
I like the night
It makes me feel safer
Than the light

Hiding my true colors
Letting me be free
I wish it was always dark
So people don't see me
