First of all, "Dusk Till Dawn" is definitely a love song and that really really inspired me by Zayn Malik; and also it inspired me by a Korean drama called "Boys over flowers" In general, it speaks about a relationship that is unwavering of any obstacle thrown in their way. "Dusk" means the time of the day when the Sun sets down and this is a metaphor to hardships in life. "Dawn" is the time of the day when the sun comes up again. Sunrise is usually a symbolism for new beginnings, hope and prosperity. So the story speaks about their love being unchallenged in times of hardships and good times. And this story is dedicated to someone who stole my heart.
Love is true when it gives you the freedom to be the perfect reflection of your real self, doing exactly all you've ever wanted to be and does not stifle you, it's not a cage hiding you from the world. True love is a platform, it's the wings that you need to fly, the fuel for your dreams. A lot of people think loving someone you should make you jealous and restless but true love is where you find security, they give you no reason to doubt their loyalty and if you have to ask to be loved, if you are not their absolute attention, if they have to answer questions about their true intentions, then you are yet to find true love and they don't just make you happy, they are a part of your dreams, your aspirations, they are not spectators in your desire to achieve your dreams. They participate in your happiness.
