In the Dark
JoJo Lyrics

In JoJo's song In the Dark, the lyrics depict a story of two individuals meeting up secretly and intimately in the night, detaching themselves from any emotional or relationship expectations. The first verse suggests that this is not the first or last time they're meeting up like this, indicating a sense of desire for each other that they cannot control. JoJo admits that she knows it's wrong, but she wants to keep holding on to this moment. The line "I only know him in the dark" implies that they haven't shared any personal information, and the only thing they know is the physical intimacy between them.

The second verse suggests that JoJo is trying to keep her feelings out of mind, as she doesn't want to complicate things. She wants to explore this new road but with no strings attached. However, the line "Love was always at the core of anyone I've been with before" implies that JoJo has been in relationships before, and therefore, she may be struggling with the impact of those past relationships on her current situation. The chorus repeats the same line "I only know him in the dark" emphasizes the fact that this relationship is shallow, and it's occurring in the absence of light.

The bridge of the song talks about the conflicting emotions that JoJo is experiencing. She likes the pleasure; she is getting from this relationship, but she wants more than just physical intimacy. She tries to convince herself to stay focused, but she cannot get it out of her mind. Hence, the line "The truth just breaks my heart" expresses that she knows deep down that this situation is temporary, and it's not what she wants in the long run. In conclusion, the lyrics of In the Dark, express the emotional complexities of a casual and shallow relationship without any emotional commitment.
