In The Dark
DJ Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the world around you's breaking
And it feels
Like there's no one else around you
And it's quiet
There's a silence in the darkness
And it sounds
Like the carnival is over
I'll be there and you will be here
and we'll meet each other in the dark
and you will see
and i will see you too
Cuz we'll be together in the dark
no.no
dont worry
your not the only one
As you walk
In the crowded empty spaces
And you stare
At the emptiness around you
You wanna go
To the city and the bright lights
Get away
From the sinners that surround you
Cuz I will be there
And you will be there
We'll find each other in the dark
And you will see
And I'll see you too
Cuz we'll be together in the dark
Cuz if it's coming for you
Then it's coming for me
Cuz I will be there
Cuz we need each other in the dark
And if it terrifies you
Then it terrifies me
Cuz I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
no,no
dont worry
you'r not the only one
Tiësto's "In the Dark" is a song that speaks to the necessity of human connection in times of trouble. The lyrics suggest that when the world around you seems to be falling apart, it is essential to have someone to turn to, someone who understands and is willing to stand by you. The first verse of the song describes a sense of isolation and loneliness that many people feel in difficult times. The singer suggests that even in the midst of darkness and despair, there is hope to be found in the presence of another person.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more urgent in their plea for connection. They describe a desire to escape the pain and sinfulness of the world and find refuge in the bright lights of the city. The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of standing by one another in times of fear and uncertainty. The repeated line "we need each other in the dark" speaks to the idea that human connection is essential for survival, both physically and emotionally.
The bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer notices sparks in the sky and suggests the possibility of transcending the darkness through connection with another person. The final lines of the song convey a sense of relief and comfort as the singer realizes that they are not alone, that someone else is there to share the burden of fear and uncertainty.
Overall, "In the Dark" is a powerful song about the transformative power of human connection in times of trouble. It speaks to the universal human need for love, support, and companionship, and offers a message of hope to anyone who may be struggling to find their way through difficult times.
Line by Line Meaning
When it seems
Like the world around you's breaking
When everything feels like it's falling apart and you're left feeling helpless
And it feels
Like there's no one else around you
When you feel completely alone and like nobody can understand your struggles
And it's quiet
There's a silence in the darkness
When everything around you is still and quiet, and you're left with only your thoughts and fears
And it sounds
Like the carnival is over
When all the excitement and fun has come to an end, and you're left feeling empty and alone
As you walk
In the crowded empty spaces
As you move through life surrounded by people, but feeling alone and disconnected
And you stare
At the emptiness around you
When you look out into your surroundings and see nothing but emptiness and lack of purpose
You wanna go
To the city and the bright lights
You long for something more exciting and fulfilling, somewhere with more opportunities and energy
Get away
From the sinners that surround you
To escape from those who are not living up to your moral standards or who are leading you astray
'Cause I will be there
And you will be there
We'll find each other in the dark
And you will see
And I'll see you too
'Cause we'll be together in the dark
We will support each other even in the darkest and most difficult of times. We will not be alone.
'Cause if it's coming for you
Then it's coming for me
'Cause I will be there
'Cause we need each other in the dark
And if it terrifies you
Then it terrifies me
'Cause I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
We will face our fears together and support each other through difficult times, knowing that we need each other to survive.
As I look into the sky
There's sparks bright as ice
You want me to take you over there
I want you to stay with me
'Cause you're not the only one
The only one
We may dream of something bigger and more beautiful than what we have, but ultimately we need each other to thrive, and we are not alone in our struggles.
No, no
Don't worry
You're not the only one
No matter how alone and afraid you may feel, remember that there are others out there who share your struggles.
'Cause if it's coming for you
Then it's coming for me
But I will be there
'Cause we need each other in the dark
And if it's panicking you
Then it's panicking me
But I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
We will stand by each other through dark times, sharing each other's pain, fear, and panic as though it were our own, because ultimately we need each other to survive.
In the dark
In the dark
We'll need each other in the dark
When everything seems hopeless, we will rely on each other for support, comfort, and hope.
In the dark
In the dark
We'll hold each other in the dark
We will embrace each other even in the darkest of times, finding solace and strength in each other's embrace.
Now we're saved together in the dark
'Cause we've got each other in the dark
We will be saved from our darkest moments because we have each other for support, strength, and hope.

@sebastianswork
Eu tenho muita saudade desse tipo de música eletrônica. Eu viajava longe escutando esse som. Hoje estão fazendo música de moda, sem emoção alguma.
@soyjorgealan
É verdade, não há emoção na música de hoje. Que bom que outras pessoas estejam ouvindo essa música em 2024. Não sou o único que sente falta dessa época.
@fernandathallessa3665
Não tem sensação melhor que essa época.
@dufus360
Can't believe I first listened to it in 2010 . It's been 13 years. I am getting old. Fellow Millennials, nice to see you again.
