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."

If you've ever felt more alive after midnight, this one's for you.

Title: In the Dark Monologue

[Intro – spoken softly, distant echo]
They say the darkness is dangerous.
They say the darkness is bad.
But every pleasure we crave,
every sin we whisper,
every dream we chase —
is born in the dark.

When we make love,
we turn off the light.
When we get high,
we close our eyes.
When we dream,
we drift into night.

And yet they tell us —
the dark is evil.
Maybe not because of what’s in it,
but because of what it awakens.
Pleasure… desire… freedom.
Things too wild for daylight’s rules.

Maybe darkness isn’t bad.
Maybe it’s just honest.
Because in the dark,
you can’t pretend.
You can only feel.

And that’s the danger, isn’t it?
Not the dark itself…
but how much of ourselves
we find when the lights go out.

Lyrics: 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.

Out Soon

In the Dark

🌑 Monologue: In The Dark
This is a poetic monologue that challenges everything you’ve been taught to fear about the darkness.

We are told the dark is evil, yet every pleasure we crave, every dream we chase, and every secret we whisper is born in the night. This piece argues that darkness isn't a space of danger, but one of radical honesty and unfiltered self-discovery.

When the lights go out, the masks drop. You can't pretend anymore—you can only feel.

Listen as the voice explores why we seek out the dark for our most intimate moments (making love, getting high, dreaming), only to realize that the true danger isn't the shadows, but "how much of ourselves we find when the lights go out."
