The music apparently caught someone; the Japanese animame folk became captured in "Twilight" (see the Wikipedia entry). Regarding the meaning, the album may have had it's theme (as noted in the third entry above), but it's obvioulsy a metaphorical song. ELO is all about metaphor and passion. The first commentor waaaaay back in 2006 hit it on the nail; Jeff Lyne is writing about passion for a woman who controls his desire. This "twilight" is the kind of thing that dominates men, and women (like "Evil Woman") can disappear and destroy that loving joy (though of course, men can do that to women too...). In this case, "Twilight" is that unreal desire, but it's not permanent sometimes. Of course, the difference between "twilight" and people is that twilight always happens; you can't get it back. But people can decide how they'll act towards another who is enamored with them.
