In The Dark
Holland Jools Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
