Luka Sol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing in the dark
Faces in the crowd
Then I see you turn around
Feel you watching me
From the other side
When i look at you
You pretend not to see
I've got to get away
From you
I've got to stay away
I've got to stay away
From you
I feel you pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
And i try
To resist but it's hard
Cause i know you won't stop
Til you get what you want
from me
And I feel you pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
See you on tonight
Dancing in the dark
People everywhere
Faces in the crowd
Feel you watching me
From the other side
When i turn around
You were all I see
Now I feel you pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
And i try
To resist but it's hard
Cause i know you won't stop
Til you get what you want
from me
Now I feel you pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Now I feel you holding me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
And i try
To resist but it's hard
Cause I know you won't stop
Til you get what you want
from me
Now I feel you pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
Pullin' me close to you
The lyrics of Luka Sol's song Unknown describe a situation where the singer sees someone they know in a crowded setting, watching them from afar. They are trying to stay away from this person, but they feel their presence pulling them in. The singer is both attracted to and repelled by this person, as evidenced by the repeated refrain of "I try to resist but it's hard, cause I know you won't stop til you get what you want from me." This creates a sense of tension and conflict in the song, as the singer struggles with their feelings and desires.
The lyrics also paint a picture of a dark and moody atmosphere, with the setting described as "dancing in the dark" and "people everywhere, faces in the crowd." This adds to the sense of disorientation and unease felt by the singer, as they try to navigate their surroundings and their own emotions.
