The Ruin of Us

🌙 In The Dark: Unmasking the Truth

Caeli August presents "In The Dark", a soulful, genre-bending track that defies everything you’ve been told about night. Produced by NuVox and featuring a powerful verse from Dudu of Narco Noir, this song flips the script on darkness, arguing that it's not a source of evil but a birthplace for pleasure, desire, and radical authenticity.

This intimate journey dives into the moments we turn the lights off—when we make love, dream, or get high. It’s in this absence of light that we drop our societal masks, finding a raw vitality and freedom that daylight can't handle.
Listen as Caeli August discovers a "divine feeling" in the shadows, where every secret transforms and every risk feels like salvation. "In The Dark" is about the liberation found when the lights go out, revealing the honest, wild parts of ourselves that are "too wild for daylight's rules".

Title: In the Dark

I close my eyes to feel alive,
The light don’t ever satisfy.
Shadows whisper, pull me in,
where every sin feels like a hymn.

Hands trace halos on my skin,
Truth and trouble tangled in,
Every breath’s a quiet spark,
We only bloom inside the dark.

They told me, “baby, don’t go there,”
But heaven never felt this near.
What’s holy if it don’t burn?
I’ll never learn…

In the dark, I’m free,
No mask, just me.
Pleasure’s sweet,
But it cuts so deep.
We fall, we fade, we lose our way,
And still, we chase that spark…
In the dark.

We make love with the lights down low,
Hide from the truth we don’t wanna know.
Every secret’s just a prayer untold,
Every touch turns fear to gold.

Maybe bad just means alive,
And danger’s how we survive.
So light your match and let it start,
I’ll meet your flame inside the dark.

Dreams don’t glow in daylight’s glare,
I find my faith when no one’s there.
If it’s sin, then let it be,
‘Cause darkness feels divine to me.

In the dark, I’m free,
No mask, just me.
Pleasure’s sweet,
But it cuts so deep.
We fall, we fade, we lose our way,
And still, we chase that spark…
in the dark.

Maybe darkness ain’t bad…
Maybe it’s just honest.
