I think the dark is anything that stops you from being able to see who you really are. Whether its excessive drug use, anger, sadness, or any other negative force, it causes you to almost lose certain parts of yourself. Anger causes you to lose sight of peace. Sadness causes you to lose sight of the happiness you previously had.

When you look over these obstacles, or rise above, you are able to see who you really are and how you can avoid losing parts of yourself in the future. While we all have these moments, people who can be seen as in the light are able to control themselves and keep sight of who they are, even in times of strife.

I don't know... What if you really are nothing but an angry drunk, and if you take that away, there's nothing left?

If there truly is nothing left, then you get to create yourself with no pretenses. It's actually kind of beautiful; who hasn't wished, at some point, that they could start over and become something different?
