From Dusk Till Dawn
Titto and Tarantula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strolling in the night so white
Wondering why
It's only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I'm knocking on the devil's door yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And the note
Says "only after dark"
Burning burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back and rule again yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and waits for
After dark
After dark
After dark
After dark
The song "After Dark" by Tito and Tarantula is a mesmerizing tale of a man who is entranced and enchanted by a woman he sees strolling in the night. He describes her as having a distant fire light burning bright in her eyes and wonders why it is only after dark that he catches a glimpse of her. He finds himself in her room and feels like he is falling through the floor, knocking on the devil's door. However, when he wakes up in the dawn, he finds her gone and a note saying "only after dark." He burns in the flame of passion and now knows her secret name. He acknowledges that she can be torn down, but she will always rule again. In his heart, there is a deep and dark, and lonely part that desires her and waits for her only after dark.

Watching her
Observing her
Strolling in the night so white
Walking in the bright moonlight
Wondering why
Questioning the reason
It's only after dark
It's only at nighttime
In her eyes
Within her gaze
A distant fire light burns bright
A faraway flame glimmers intensely
I find myself in her room
I discover myself in her chamber
Feel the fever of my doom
Experience the heat of my fate
Falling falling
Dropping, descending
Through the floor
Through the ground
I'm knocking on the devil's door yeah
I'm reaching out to Satan's realm, yeah
In the dawn
At sunrise
I wake up to find her gone
I wake up to see she's vanished
And the note
And the message
Says "only after dark"
States "only at nighttime"
Burning burning in the flame
Burning fiercely in the fire
Now I know her secret name
Now I am aware of her mysterious name
You can tear her temple down
You can destroy her sanctuary
But she'll be back and rule again yeah
But she will return and reign once more, yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
In my soul, a profound and obscure
And lonely part
And solitary piece
Wants her and waits for
Desires her and anticipates
After dark
At nighttime
After dark
At nighttime
After dark
At nighttime
After dark
At nighttime

The Salma Hayek dance to this song is one of the most sensually beautiful experiences in cinema history. I don't think I blinked for the entirety of the scene. This is THE song for those nights when it's just you and your partner.

Quinton Tarantino has such an amazing taste in music, his movies have some of the best songs I've never heard in them and I love it.
@walterwhite1
Did you know he used to be a DJ that’s why he is so good
@archcunningham5579
Yeah ,
@kinezumi
This one's not Tarantino, he was the writer + an actor. Tito & Tarantula are in the movie because they had a working relationship with Robert Rodriguez, the director, who they'd met while working on a previous film (Desperado).
