About This Track

'Get Dark' by AFI is a 2018 rock track from 'The Missing Man - EP'. The lyrics frame a speaker who rejects familiar roles and refuses grand identity, insisting they are merely someone who makes and undoes useless things. It plays like a hard interrogation, asking “Who do you think you” before turning into a repeated push towards darkness, with the refrain pressing the idea of surrender or descent. The tone is confrontational and accusatory, built around refusal, self-exclusion, and a command to get dark.

"Get Dark" is a single by AFI, from the album The Missing Man - EP, released 7th December 2018. The track is 2:41 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about AFI.

Lyrics

Get Dark

I am not The Father, I am not The Son
I'm only a maker of useless things undone, undone
I am not of Mother Earth nor Morning Son
Only a maker of useless thing undone, here's one

Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?
Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?

I gave you faith and devotion
I gave you stranger days
You said you'd love me anyway
You gave me back the emotion
On the blank exchange
You've said my love is like your
Faith, your faith, your faith, your faith

Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?
Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?

Tell me who you think I am
Tell me do you think I can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?
Tell me who you think I am
Tell me do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?

Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?
Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get dark?
Who do you think you are?
Do you think you can
Get dark, get dark, get dark, get
