In The Dark
Jette Von Roth; Schiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't hurt bad
Never been that good in love
So now I cover my heart
And I dance alone
There you walk in
Somehow the music changes
Under the blights
Quietly to got
Me in overthrown
You got me going crazy
I thought I had this love game down
I am standing here mistakin' over you
Crushing into deep
Oh I don't mind if I should fall apart
As long as you're here with me
Dancing in the dark
And now I am letting go
No I don't mind if I should fall apart
As long as you're here with me
Dancing in the dark
How did I, I loose myself in your eyes
Just one minute in your world
Got me thinking about
The unthinkable
You got me going crazy
I thought I had this love game down
I am standing here mistakin' over you
Still I think of you
'Cause I am letting go
No I don't mind if I should fall apart
As long as you're here with me
Dancing in the dark
And now I am letting go
No I don't mind if I should fall apart
As long as you're here with me
Dancing in the dark
If I should fall apart
If love should break your heart
I'll be alright and you will too
If I should fall apart
If love should break your heart
Just keep dancing in the dark
'Cause I am letting go
No I don't mind if I should fall apart
As long as you're here with me
Dancing in the dark
And now I am letting go
No I don't mind if I should fall apart
As long as you're here with me
Dancing in the dark
Schiller's song "In the Dark" tells a story of a person who has never been good at love, so they cover their heart and dance alone. However, when they meet someone new, the music changes and they are drawn to this person. They feel themselves falling for them and are willing to risk falling apart as long as they can dance with them in the dark. The lyrics reveal a vulnerability and openness to love, even if it means facing the possibility of heartbreak.
The first verse sets the stage for the song by describing the singer's relationship with love. They haven't been good at it before and have covered their heart as a defense mechanism. However, when they meet someone new, everything changes. The music gets louder and the lights brighter, creating a perfect atmosphere for romance. The singer recognizes the risk involved in falling for someone, but they are willing to take the chance.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's willingness to fall apart as long as they are with the person they love. It highlights the importance of being present in the moment and enjoying the experience of dancing together in the dark. The last verse echoes this sentiment, reminding the listener that even if love falls apart and hearts break, it's important to keep dancing in the dark and enjoying life.

I don't hurt before, yeah
I haven't been hurt in the past
I don't hurt bad
I haven't experienced severe emotional pain
Never been that good in love
I haven't had much success in romantic relationships
So now I cover my heart
I protect myself from potential heartbreak
And I dance alone
I prefer to dance by myself
There you walk in
You entered the room
Somehow the music changes
Your presence alters the atmosphere
It gets so loud
The music becomes more intense
Under the blights
The lights shining down on us
Quietly to got
You quietly approached me
Me in overthrown
You overwhelmed me with emotion
You got me going crazy
You make me feel insane
I thought I had this love game down
I thought I understood how to handle love
I am standing here mistakin' over you

As long as you're here with me
As long as you're by my side
Dancing in the dark
Dancing with you in an intimate setting
And now I am letting go
I am releasing my fears and inhibitions
How did I, I loose myself in your eyes
I am surprised at how easily I became enamored with you
Just one minute in your world
Being with you feels like a dream come true
Got me thinking about
You make me contemplate my feelings
The unthinkable
The possibility of a heartbreak or being hurt again
Still I think of you
You remain on my mind
If I should fall apart
If I become emotionally rigid and break down
If love should break your heart
If love inflicts emotional pain on you
I'll be alright and you will too
I will recover and so will you
Just keep dancing in the dark
We should continue dancing together despite any potential heartbreak
'Cause I am letting go
I am freeing myself from my emotional walls
