We all still have a lot to learn in this world. We’re constantly trying to better ourselves each day and find our purpose in life because that’s what we’re meant to do. I always look forward to new days and learning new things about myself that I didn’t know already but that sometimes can get overwhelming, and I can start to stress. It's normal to feel this way because that's how we were built. Tabitha Meeks’ single, “Dark Side” is about finding and accepting yourself for who you are regardless of the bad sides because we all have them. Learning to love and appreciate yourself is the best you can do because who will if you don’t? We’re only human, and we all have our flaws and insecurities to worry about; we just have to accept them.

Her vocals are raw and heavily filled with emotion that captivates with the hard-hitting lyrics. Her tone is consistent and calm which enhances the eerie atmosphere of this track. After the chorus, there are additional adlibs to create a haunting vocal harmony; the instrumentation has a harmonize of whispers and echoes that darkens the mood which will give you goosebumps. The tempo picks up after the lines, “I’m finding myself on the dark side” which emphasizes the message of figuring out who you are and coming to terms with it. The percussion based-beat tempo fastens with the haunting vocal harmonies and her constant singing of, “On the dark side” further enhances the haunting experience.
