See You In The Dark
The Honor Society Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were always the girl
Who would give me girl advice whenever I needed it (oh)
My best friend in the world
My friends said you were fine but I was always denyin' it

Then one summer day
I saw you laying
By your swimming pool
And I was thinking
"Damn, you really changed"
You're not the quiet girl I used to know
You opened up my eyes

I see you
Walk across my room in
Nothing but the moonlight
Now I love to
See you in the dark
See you in the dark
My window
Frames you like a Monet
Don't come back to bed yet
Cuz I love to
See you in the dark
See you in the dark

I'll never see you the same
The veil has been lifted, now I see you're gifted
My whole perspective has changed
Don't think I can go back cause I will always desire it

Don't take another step
Near me, just in case we have regrets
If tomorrow we go back to being friends
I'll think about the way you looked tonight, yeah
So turn off all the lights

I see you
Walk across my room in
Nothing but the moonlight
Now I love to
See you in the dark
See you in the dark
My window
Frames you like a Monet
Don't come back to bed yet
Cuz I love to
See you in the dark
See you in the dark

Maybe if you were someone else
It wouldn't have to be like this
I'm wondering how you feel about me now
Or was it just a friendly kiss, yeah
Cause I'm seeing you for the first time

She pulls me
Closer to her body
As she whispers softly
"Turn the lights out"
See you in the dark
See you in the dark

I see you
Walk across my room in
Nothing but the moonlight
Now I love to
See you in the dark
See you in the dark
My window
Frames you like a Monet
Don't come back to bed yet
Cuz I love to




See you in the dark
See you in the dark

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "See You in The Dark" by The Honor Society depict a journey of realization and transformation within a friendship. The singer initially describes how the girl was always there for him, offering advice and being his closest friend. Despite others seeing her beauty, he denied it, perhaps not wanting to acknowledge his feelings for her or how she had changed. However, one summer day, he sees her in a different light, realizing how she has evolved and grown beyond the quiet girl he once knew. This moment marks a significant shift in their relationship as he acknowledges the change in her and how it has opened his eyes to a new perspective.


The singer's newfound perception is encapsulated in the imagery of seeing the girl in the dark. The moonlight highlighting her figure as she walks across the room symbolizes a deeper connection and appreciation for her beauty and presence. The reference to famous painter Monet further emphasizes the aesthetic appeal and artistry in how he views her, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. The darkness becomes a metaphor for the unknown and the unexplored aspects of their relationship, adding an element of mystery and desire as he expresses his love for seeing her in this new light.


As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that he can never see the girl the same way again. The veil has been lifted, and he recognizes her talents and allure, leading to a shift in his feelings towards her. There is a sense of longing and inevitability in his words, indicating that he cannot revert to their previous dynamic as he is now consumed by his desire for her. The apprehension of potential regrets and the uncertainty of transitioning back to mere friendship add a layer of emotional complexity to their evolving connection.


The final verses of the song delve deeper into the intimacy between the singer and the girl. The physical proximity and the whispered words in the dark convey a sense of vulnerability and closeness, suggesting a deeper level of intimacy between them. The plea to turn off the lights and the embrace in the darkness symbolize a moment of surrender to their feelings and desires, encapsulating the passion and intensity of their newfound bond. Overall, "See You in The Dark" explores the themes of realization, transformation, desire, and intimacy within a friendship that evolves into something more profound and meaningful.

Enjoy your company in the darkness


Maybe if you were someone else
Perhaps if you were different

Curious about your current feelings for me


Or was it just a friendly kiss, yeah
Or was our interaction just platonic


Cause I'm seeing you for the first time
Seeing you in a new way
