Lyrics Analysis
Dusk til Dawn:
Not tryna be indie
Not tryna be cool
Just tryna be in this
Tell me how you choose
Can you feel why you're in this
Can you feel it through
All of the windows
Inside this room
'Cause I wanna touch you, baby
And I wanna feel you, too
I wanna see the sunrise and your sins
Just me and you
Light it up, on the run
Let's make love, tonight
Make it up, fall in love, try
But you'll never be alone
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll hold you when things go wrong
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
We were shut like a jacket
So do your zip
We will roll down the rapids
To find a wave that fits
Can you feel where the wind is
Can you feel it through
All of the windows
Inside this room
'Cause I wanna touch you, baby
I wanna feel you, too
I wanna see the sunrise and your sins
Just me and you
Light it up, on the run
Let's make love tonight
Make it up, fall in love, try
But you'll never be alone
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll hold you when things go wrong
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
Go, give love to your body
It's only you that can stop it
Go, give love to your body
It's only you that can stop it
Go, give love to your body
It's only you that can stop it
Go, give love to your body
Go, give love to your body
But you'll never be alone
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll hold you when things go wrong
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
I'll be with you from dusk till dawn
Baby, I'm right here
The chorus of “Dusk Till Dawn” is a strong reassurance that no matter what goes wrong in life, their significant other will stay strong in the relationship
The word 'dusk' means the time of the day when the Sun sets down and could be a metaphor for starting a new beginning in their relationship. The word “Dawn” is the time of the day when the Sun comes up which can symbolise hope.
From the first verse you can connote that Zayn is trying to explain himself to a women he likes and is trying to be the best version he can be for her. He wants to be with her but also doesn't want to have to change.
As well, you can analysis key words in the lyrics such as 'Indie'. This could illustrate that he is linking himself to a new genre trying to move away from pop music and have his own sound. Also, 'indie' can relate to being independent and have a new beginning aware from One Direction. But in this song he doesn't want to be independent he wants to share himself with another.
This line showcases Zayn's love for this girl and how he is telling her that he is "right here" suggests he is fully committed in their relationship and wants to be there for her to support her.
In the second verse of the song he is questioning the girls love for him and wondering if she will stay with him through tough times. This links to the word "rapids" which suggests a rough time and the danger they may have to overcome.
These key words show the intimate relationship he wants with this girl and how much he adores her. It also demonstrates that he will do anything for her and her happiness is his priority. The lyric "on the run" suggests they are on the run from something, it could be they are running from people who don't want them to be together.
The first line here suggests that Zayn is encouraging the girl he loves to go and love herself as well. This implies the girl has low self confidence and Zayn wants her to view herself the way he does, which is perfect. The second line is Zayn telling the girl she is the only one who can stop the negative thoughts about herself.
