That's Why We Dance
Dancing Through Existence: Unraveling Life's Curious Questions with Calliope Musicals
Lyrics
I prayed for rain, and when it came I
The speaker prayed for rain, and upon its arrival,
Looked up to the sky and thought how
They gazed at the sky, contemplating
Can you know what I don't say out loud?
Pondering the ability to understand unspoken thoughts
And what does how mean anyway?
Raising a question about the significance of "how"
This whole earth could be fucking fake,
Suggesting a skepticism about the authenticity of the world
And I mean that in a funny way.
Humorously expressing the idea that the Earth might be illusory
That's why we dance
Asserting the reason for dancing
That's why we give peace a chance
Promoting the idea of giving peace a chance through dance
That's why we keep living in the romance of everything's gonna be ok
Advocating living in a romanticized belief that everything will be okay
As long as you fight through and though
Encouraging perseverance and fighting for larger causes
For things that are bigger than you,
Stressing the importance of fighting for things beyond oneself
Then I say keep living in the romance.
Reiterating the encouragement to live in a romanticized perspective
You paid in gold to buy your soul
Highlighting the concept of paying with gold for one's soul
Life long after you die, but so shocked
Commenting on the shock of realizing that forever cannot be purchased
when you learned forever can't be bought.
Emphasizing the value of eternal aspects of life
And when you say God made it all,
Questioning the attribution of creation to God
Then who made God? Or was it all a big bang, a big bang so they say.
Contemplating the origin of God and the universe, referencing the big bang theory
And if she is infinite, then I bet she would understand
Suggesting that an infinite God would appreciate human curiosity
the beauty of a curious human mind.
Appreciating the beauty of a curious human mind
That's why we dance
Reiterating the reason for dancing as a form of expression
That's why we give peace a chance
Advocating for giving peace a chance through dance
That's why we keep living in the romance of everything's gonna be ok
Encouraging a continued belief in the romanticized idea of a positive future
As long as you fight through and though
Emphasizing the need to persevere and fight for larger causes
For things that are bigger than you,
Stressing the importance of fighting for things beyond oneself
Then I say keep living in the romance.
Reiterating the encouragement to live in a romanticized perspective
