Shinedown – DARKSIDE lyrics
[Intro]
Can you hear me? Am I speaking clearly?
Are you starstrucked or just made of stone?
Do you need a savior? Some bad behavior?
Or you could cash it all in, I suppose

[Verse 1]
Because you're in deep, resist and repeat
Face forward and don't come unhinged
Block out actors and all these bastards
That took all the fun out of rage and revenge

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so quick to judge, rain havoc from above
I think I've had enough, time to raise the dead
It's all subliminal, supernatural
I might be mental but I've still got my cred

[Chorus]
So welcome to the party, won't you please come inside?
Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives
You enter at your own risk, so don't be surprised
Welcome to the darkside

[Verse 2]
Spare me your sorrow, there's no tomorrow
That's an empty promise at best
I tried to play nice, you were baptized in ice
So don't tell me you're just depressed

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so quick to judge, rain havoc from above
I think I've had enough, time to raise the dead
It's all subliminal, supernatural
I might be mental but I've still got my cred

[Chorus]
So welcome to the party, won't you please come inside?
Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives
You enter at your own risk, so don't be surprised
Welcome to the darkside

[Altered Chorus]
Your equilibrium has been spun all around
And everything you know turned upside down
The symptoms are contagious, so please be advised
So welcome to the darkside

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so quick to judge, rain havoc from above
I think I've had enough, time to raise the dead
It's all subliminal, supernatural
I might be mental but I've still got my cred

[Chorus]
So welcome to the party, won't you please come inside?
Where habits have teeth and the words carry knives
You enter at your own risk, so don't be surprised
Welcome to the darkside

[Altered Chorus]
Your equilibrium has been spun all around
And everything you know turned upside down
The symptoms are contagious, so please be advised
So welcome to the darkside

[Outro]
(Darkside, darkside) Welcome to the darkside
(Darkside, darkside) Welcome to the darkside
(Darkside, darkside) So welcome to the darkside
(Darkside, darkside) So welcome to the darkside

    I always think of books when I hear the chorus because cruel or hurtful words are often described as cutting or sharp as knives, ext, meaning that words and habits are hurtful, basically. You enter at your own risk, don't be surprised if you get hurt. This is my all time favourite Shinedown song, I just love that it relates to reading, at least from my point of view.
