Discover the story of the song > The Dark Don’t Hide It – Magnolia Electric Co.

The protagonist made a promise to keep a secret, but now he's speaking out because he found out his partner has been using him. He's grateful that at least the darkness doesn't conceal the truth. His partner only pretended to want friends, but really surrounded herself with toxic people who are now tearing her apart. The song suggests that human pain should be shared so it can be overcome, and that death will eventually reveal that we're all more alike than different.
