In his latest single, “Darkside,” Polo G delves into the harsh realities of life in the streets, reflecting on the pain, loss, and struggle that have shaped his journey. The song’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where violence is a daily reality, and survival often means embracing the darkness within. Polo G’s raw, introspective verses explore his emotional detachment, a defense mechanism born from a lifetime of trauma. The chorus, with its haunting refrain “Tryna find his way out in the dark side,” captures the sense of entrapment felt by those growing up in the slums, where the line between right and wrong is blurred by the need to survive.
Polo G’s storytelling shines as he takes listeners through his experiences, from the suicidal thoughts that plague him to the violent lessons learned on the streets. The second verse highlights the internal conflict he faces—wishing for peace but knowing the cycle of violence is hard to break. The track’s production, with its dark and moody undertones, complements Polo G’s gritty narrative, creating a somber yet compelling listening experience. “Darkside” is a powerful addition to Polo G’s discography, offering a stark glimpse into the mind of an artist who has seen and endured too much.
