Description
There are moments when music and alcohol blend into a haze, and words lose their meaning, turning into hints and undertones. Everything is shaky, like a scene in a bar with soft lighting and thick smoke: it is unclear whether anyone will stay until morning or disappear into the darkness.
There is a strange attraction in this uncertainty - a desire to touch the mystery, not knowing whether it will save or break your heart. A look full of promise and a rhythm you want to linger in, even though you know it could all end at any moment.

Lyrics and translation
Original
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
She said, "Let's cut to the chase, pour me another
There's somethin' sweet in the air that's pullin' us together
Maybe it's the music, the buzz in my brain
Maybe I love you, maybe I'll stay
Through the smoke, the wine, the thick conversation
Pure persuasion, could you be my salvation?
The wide eyes tell me you might run away
But maybe you'll love me, maybe you'll stay"
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Out of sight (out of sight)
You're a mystery, I'm tryna get it right
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Every night (every night)
Addin' up the clues you're givin' me
Now go ahead and hit the light
Go ahead and hit the light
Hit the light
The time is racin', somehow we move slow
Now everything's flowin' and you're pullin' me close
It's not the words, it's in the way that you say
Maybe I love you, maybe I'll stay
Maybe we'll hold on, maybe we'll break
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Out of sight (out of sight)
You're a mystery, I'm tryna get it right
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Every night (every night)
Addin' up the clues you're givin' me
Now go ahead and hit the light
Go ahead and hit the light
Go ahead and hit the light
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Out of sight (out of sight)
You're a mystery, I'm tryna get it right
Fascination in the dark (in the dark)
Every night (every night)
Addin' up the clues you're givin' me
Now go ahead and hit the light (ooh)
Go ahead and hit the light (ooh)
Go ahead and hit the light
Maybe you'll love me (ooh), maybe you'll stay (go ahead and hit the light)
Maybe we'll hold on (ooh), maybe we'll break (hit the light)
Maybe you love me (ooh), maybe you don't (go ahead and hit the light)
Maybe we'll hold on (ooh)
Fascination in the dark
