In The Dark

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about it when you touch me there
Close my eyes, here you are all alone dancing in the dark.
Tell me baby if it's wrong
To let my hands do what they want?
Late at night I pretend we are
Dance dance dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
When you work on me,
Open my body up and do some surgery,
Now that you got me up I wanna taste it taste it
And see those pocket aces.
I wanna see who you are.
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
On my waist, through my hair.
Think about it when you touch me there.
Close my eyes, here you are
Dance dance dancing in the dark!
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
I love to flirt to see.
I'm only talking to you if you wanna surf my seas.
Now that you got me boy
You know you better spice it flavor it get it right; savor it
Wanna see who you are,
Got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
On my waist, through my hair.
Think about it when you touch me there.
Close my eyes, here you are (here you are)
All alone dancing in the dark.
Tell me baby if its wrong?
To let my hands do what they want.
Late at night I pretend we are
Dance dance dancing in the dark
(oh la la)
Tell me baby if its wrong
Dancing in the dark
To let my hands do what they want.
Dancing in the dark! (it's the Cataracs)
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
The song "In The Dark" by Dev has a sensual and provocative tone, with lyrics that describe a sexual encounter with someone she is attracted to. It starts with her describing her partner's hands on her waist and through her hair, which gets her thinking about having sex with him. She goes on to describe how she feels when he touches her, closing her eyes as they dance in the dark. She then asks if it's wrong to let her hands do what they want, suggesting that she's willing to do whatever it takes to please her partner.
The chorus comes in, repeating the phrase "Dancing in the dark" which is a metaphor for the sexual encounter they're having. She then describes how she wants her partner to open her body up like a surgeon and how she wants to taste him. She goes on to say that she has a sex drive that's ready to be pushed to the start and that she wants to see who he really is. The second half of the song repeats the first half but with slightly different lyrics. She talks about flirting and only talking to someone if they want to "surf her seas" which is another metaphor for exploring her sexually.
Overall, the song is about a physical attraction between two people and the desire to explore each other intimately. However, there is a hint of insecurity in the lyrics, as she asks if what she's doing is wrong and wants to see who her partner really is. These themes of attraction, desire, and vulnerability are explored in a provocative and sensual way.
