Meaning of “After Dark” by Mr. Kitty

The term “after dark”, as generally understood, points to the adult time of night, when the kids are asleep, and the likes of lovemaking goes down. Relatedly, even though some of the wording, especially earlier on, is arguably confusingly-poetic, as the track progresses it isn’t difficult to ascertain that this is a love song. 

More specifically, the lyrics reveal that the vocalist is looking forward to making out with, i.e. kissing, the addressee. And considering the title, it may be that Mr. Kitty is also hoping that the two of them will proceed to have sexual intercourse. 

But as far as the first verse and first half of the chorus goes, it seems that he’s implying that his relationship with the addressee has been a troubled one, with the pair now being on the verge of making up. And that would theoretically be why Kitty is so excited, i.e. now reuniting with his significant other.

That said, perhaps it should be noted out that the lyrics do imply that the featured romance is homosexual in nature. That is to say that there is a single line in the second verse whereas Kitty goes about referring to the addressee using a masculine pronoun. And apparently that is his actual inclination, which may explain the singer’s unconventional stage name.

“As the hours pass
I will let you know
That I need to ask
Before I’m alone
How it feels to rest
On your patient lips
To eternal bliss
I’m so glad to know
As the hours pass
I will let you know
That I need to ask
Before I’m alone
How it feels to rest
On your patient lips
To eternal bliss
I’m so glad to know
As the hours pass
I will let you know
That I need to ask
Before I’m alone
How it feels to rest
On your patient lips
To eternal bliss
I’m so glad to know
As the hours pass
I will let you know
That I need to ask
Before I’m alone
How it feels to rest
On your patient lips
To eternal bliss
I’m so glad to know”
