In The Dark
Holland Jools Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dark
It's just you and I
Not a sound
There's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark

Now in the dark, in the dark
I get such a thrill
When he presses his fingertips
Upon my lips
And he begs me to please keep still
In the dark

But soon
This dance will be endin'
And you're gonna be missed
Gee, I'm not pretendin'
'Cause I swear it's fun
Fun to be kissed

In the dark
Now we will find
What the rest
Have left behind
Just let them dance




We're gonna find romance
Lord, in the dark

Overall Meaning

The song "In The Dark" by Holland Jools is about the thrill and excitement of finding romance in the dark. The singer describes an intimate moment between her and her partner where they are alone together and there is not a sound except for the beat of her heart. She explains that being in the dark with her partner brings her a rush of excitement, especially when he presses his fingers to her lips and begs her to keep still.


The singer knows that this moment in the dark is fleeting and will soon be over, but she can't help but revel in the joy of being kissed and finding romance. The rest of the world may be dancing and moving on, but she has found something special in the dark.


The lyrics of this song are a testament to the idea that intimacy, excitement, and romance can be found in unexpected places, and that some of life's most memorable moments happen when we allow ourselves to let go and take risks.


Line by Line Meaning

In the dark
We are alone, with no light to illuminate what we do


It's just you and I
We are the only ones here, no one else is around to see us


Not a sound
No noise is heard, just complete silence


There's not one sigh
No one is breathing heavily or audibly, we are both calm


Just the beat of my poor heart
I can hear the sound of my heart beating, as it races with excitement


In the dark
We remain in the dark, with no end in sight


Now in the dark, in the dark
As we continue to be surrounded by darkness


I get such a thrill
I experience excitement and pleasure, being with him


When he presses his fingertips
I feel his touch, as he traces his fingers gently over my body


Upon my lips
He touches my lips, possibly to silence me


And he begs me to please keep still
He asks me to stop talking or making any noise


In the dark
We continue to be wrapped in darkness


But soon
This moment will soon end


This dance will be endin'
The time we spend together is limited and soon to finish


And you're gonna be missed
I will feel your absence when we part ways


Gee, I'm not pretendin'
I am genuinely interested in you, and not faking it


'Cause I swear it's fun
I promise that I am truly enjoying this experience


Fun to be kissed
I enjoy being kissed by you


In the dark
We remain in the dark, together


Now we will find
We will learn what others before us have missed


What the rest
All other people before us


Have left behind
We will discover things that others did not experience


Just let them dance
We will allow others to dance without our interference


We're gonna find romance
We will have our own romantic experience


Lord, in the dark
We will continue to be in the dark, without any light or visibility
