alright, fine. your spot meter is always going to try and turn whatever it sees into middle gray. doesn't matter why, that's just what you need to know. so, if you point your spot meter at something bright (like the sky, or a white piece of paper), the camera has to underexpose to get that bright thing dark enough. likewise, if you point your spot meter at something dark, like a dark t-shirt, it'll overexpose to brighten the target to middle grey. so, the trick is to meter off something that you want to be middle grey (in terms of brightness).
the problem with this scene is that, yeah. it really is that dark on your balcony, or at least that's how the camera sees it. it can only record a fraction of what your eye can see.
