Black Light
Lisa Rowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I hit the ground
And I will always keep on chasing
What is never found
And we will always keep on shining
Two in the front row
And though I know the my mind says no
Maybe this isn't right
I can't wait to find (?)
My body going wild (?)
I want you tonight
In the black light
You will always keep on playing
You like messing around
And you will always lose your head
Caught up in the sound
And we will always keep on shining
Two in the front row
And though I know the my mind says no
My heart says go
Maybe this isn't right
I can't wait to find (?)
My body going wild (?)
I want you tonight
In the black light
The opening lines of Lisa Rowe's "Black Light" suggest a sense of inevitability, a fatalistic acceptance that falling and chasing are part of the human experience. This is reinforced by the repetition of "always," which suggests a pattern of behavior that cannot be escaped. The idea of chasing what is "never found" adds a layer of complexity, suggesting a pursuit of something that may not exist or may not be attainable. The chorus shifts the focus to a sense of connection and shared experience, with the singer and a partner shining together in the front row. Despite the doubts expressed in the previous verse, the singer's heart is urging them to go forward.
The second verse shifts the narrative to focus on the partner's behavior, implying a sense of tension and potential conflict between the two. The reference to losing one's head and getting caught up in the sound suggests a lack of control, bordering on obsession. This is juxtaposed with the chorus, which emphasizes the shared experience of shining together. The final repetition of "black light" suggests a sense of playfulness and perhaps even danger, as the singer's desire for their partner intensifies.
