Dusk Till Dawn
Ladyhawke (Remix: Doc Ron) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your eyes up close to me
I hear footsteps in the dark
When you hijack my heart
Cool breeze down the hall
I can feel you breathe outside my door
From dusk 'til dawn
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Bang, bang, bang on the wall
From dusk 'til dawn
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Bang, bang, bang on the wall
From dusk 'til dawn
When you sense you're not alone
And the darkness starts to moan who's there?
Shadows all around
But you don't make a sound
Voices in my head
Playing like an echo, echo
Bang, bang, bang on the wall
From dusk 'til dawn
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
In Ladyhawke's song "Dusk till Dawn," the singer describes the feeling of being comforted by someone they care about, but still feeling the tension and fear from the darkness around them. As the lyrics progress, the singer begins to hear strange noises and voices, heightening their unease. Despite this, the presence of their loved one helps them feel less alone and more secure. The use of the repetition of "bang, bang, bang" and "do, do, do, do" creates a sense of urgency and fear, emphasizing the singer's vulnerability in the face of the unknown.
The lyrics of this song are perhaps a metaphor for the experience of feeling safe and supported in a relationship but still dealing with inner demons and insecurities. The darkness and shadows represent the fear and anxiety that may still be present, even when in the company of someone who cares about you. The reference to "voices in my head" also suggests that the fears and negative thoughts may originate from within.

When you hide next to me
You feel safe when you are near me
With your eyes up close to me
You look into my eyes and it makes you feel closer to me
I hear footsteps in the dark
I feel nervous and paranoid when it's dark and I can hear someone else walking around
When you hijack my heart
You take control of my emotions and make me feel things that I wouldn't otherwise
Cool breeze down the hall
There is a refreshing draft in the hallway that I can feel
I can feel you breathe outside my door
I sense your presence outside my door and it makes me feel protected
Bang, bang, bang on the wall
There is a loud, repetitive noise coming from the wall
From dusk 'til dawn
This noise lasts all night long
Do, do, do, do
There is a simple, catchy melody accompanying the noise
When you sense you're not alone
You become aware of the fact that you are not the only one there
And the darkness starts to moan who's there?
You start to imagine that the darkness itself is making noise, and you feel frightened about who might be there with you
Shadows all around
There are dark shapes surrounding you that you can't quite make out
But you don't make a sound
You try to stay quiet to avoid drawing attention to yourself
Voices in my head
You hear your own thoughts in your head
Playing like an echo, echo
Your thoughts feel like they are echoing around in your head, making it hard to focus
