Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Imma take it back all the way to the beginning
It was almost winter sixteen we was wit it
Sneak out after dinner to me come and get it
Couldn't tell yo friends about me couldn't tell yo friends about me
Couldn't tell yo mom and dad yo folks was on the fence about me
Then I had to leave I know it turned you to a mess about me
Suicide notes for no reason why you stressed about me
Used to being let down
Ask me if I'm drunk again I guess it just depends now
Can we be those kids again
The song "Romance in the Dark" by Lil Green is a slow jazz ballad that captures the intimacy and thrill of a romantic encounter. The lyrics evoke a sense of being alone with a lover in a dimly lit room, where the only sound is the beating of hearts. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer describing the sensory experience of being with their love interest "in the dark."
The second verse becomes more explicit in describing the physical aspects of the encounter, with the singer getting a thrill from their partner's touch and the request to "please be still" heightening the sense of anticipation. The bridge section acknowledges that the dance will have to end eventually, but the singer is focused on the present moment, reveling in the pleasure of being "kissed in the dark." The final verse is a declaration of hope, suggesting that the couple will find something more meaningful than what others have left behind if they continue to pursue their romance in this way.
Overall, the song is a celebration of intimacy and passion, with Lil Green's soulful voice conveying both vulnerability and strength. The lyrics invite the listener to imagine themselves in a similar state of surrender to desire, and the slow, bluesy tempo reinforces this sensuality.
