In The Twilight
Phaeleh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, why do you,
baby,
In the Twilight.
Why you.
baby,
You have me,
in the Twilight,
Oh, why do you,
baby,
in the Twilight,
Why you?
baby,

You have me,
You have me,
oh, you have me in the Twilight,
why you, baby,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Phaeleh’s “In the Twilight” seems to be describing someone who is caught in a confusing and ambiguous situation, represented in the twilight or the transition time between day and night. The persona is questioning the girl why she is keeping him in this uncertain state, but at the same time, he seems to be willing to stay with her even if it’s a difficult situation. The repetition of the chorus “You have me in the Twilight” conveys the idea that he is entangled in this state and cannot seem to get out of it.


The use of the twilight as a metaphor in the lyrics of the song is quite powerful. It represents a state of being neither here nor there, not fully in the light, but not completely in the darkness. This could be referring to a number of different situations, such as love, relationships, or even one's personal life struggles. The confusion and frustration of being in this state are reflected in the tone of the lyrics and the music, which is quite melancholic and somber.
