Last Tango in Paris
Shadows of Dance: Unveiling Life's Illusions in Last Tango
Lyrics
We don't exist
We lack genuine existence.
We are nothing but shadow and mist
We are merely fleeting and insubstantial.
In the mirror we look as we pass
Our appearance in the mirror is transient as we move by.
Our reflections revealed in the glass
Our true selves are seen in the reflection on the glass.
Don't you know that the blood in your veins
The blood flowing in our veins is devoid of life, akin to yesterday's rain.
Is as lifeless as yesterday's rain
Lifeless nature of the blood is emphasized.
It's a game where we come and conceal
Life is a game where we hide and mask the inner turmoil.
The confusion we feel
Concealing the confusion within ourselves.
As long as we're nameless
Anonymity shields us.
Our bodies are blameless
Our bodies are free from blame as long as our identities are unknown.
You cried when we kissed
Tears flowed during our kiss.
It was nothing but shadow and mist
The kiss was ephemeral, composed of shadow and mist.
Two illusion who touch in a trance
Two illusions connect in a trance while making love not by choice, but by chance.
Making love not by choice, but by chance
Highlighting the involuntary nature of their intimate connection.
To a theme we tore from their past
Referring to a theme taken from their shared history.
To a tango we swore was their last
A commitment to a tango that they believed would be their last.
We are shadows of dance
We are mere shadows in the dance of life.
As long as we're nameless
Anonymity continues to shield us from judgment.
Our bodies are blameless
Our bodies remain without fault as long as our identities are concealed.
You cried when we kissed
Tears were shed during another kiss.
It was nothing but shadow and mist
Similar to before, the kiss was composed of shadow and mist.
Two illusions who touch in a trance
Reiteration of two illusions coming together in a trance, making love by chance.
Making love not by choice, but by chance
Underlining the involuntary aspect of their intimate connection.
To a theme that we tore from their past
Referring again to a theme taken from their shared history.
To a tango we swore was their last
Reaffirming the commitment to a tango assumed to be their last.
We are shadows of dance
Emphasizing that they are shadows in the dance of life.
The last tango
Acknowledgment of the final tango.
The last tango
Repetition of the declaration of the last tango.
