Dancin in the Ruins
Dancin' in the Ruins: Embracing the Transience of Time
Lyrics
omorrow soon turns into yesterday.
Reflection on the fleeting nature of time, as tomorrow becomes yesterday.
Everything we see just fades away.
Acknowledgment that everything observed gradually fades away.
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be.
Transformation of landscapes, with sky and sand replacing mountains.
Time drops by a second to eternity.
Time is emphasized as a significant entity, transitioning from seconds to eternity.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
The insignificance of life's outcomes, as turning to dust is inevitable.
Turn and turn and turn we must!
An acceptance of the cyclical nature of life, with the repetition of turning.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
An anticipation of witnessing someone dancing amid destruction or decay.
Dancin' in the ruins!
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the act of dancing in ruins.
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Repeated anticipation of observing someone dancing in ruins.
There's laughter where I used to see your tears.
Contrast between past sorrow (tears) and present joy (laughter).
It's all done with mirrors, have no fears.
Reference to illusions and the use of mirrors, suggesting deceptive experiences.
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time.
Cynical view that purity and sanctity are absent in contemporary times.
The nights we spend together are no crime.
Asserting that spending nights together is not a wrongdoing.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
Reiteration of life's transient nature, echoing the earlier line about turning to dust.
Turn and turn and turn we must!
Reaffirmation of the cyclical nature of life's processes.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Anticipation of witnessing someone dancing amid ruins, emphasizing the inevitability.
Dancin' in the ruins!
Repetition of the theme, focusing on the act of dancing in ruins.
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Repeated anticipation of observing someone dancing in ruins.
Like marble statues all with gold inlaid
Imagery of statues with gold inlay, possibly symbolizing beauty in decay.
In castles built of silence, let us play.
Proposal to engage in play within the silent castles, highlighting a surreal context.
Even though our skulls rot in our flesh.
Acknowledgment of the decay of the physical body, juxtaposed with creative potential.
We can build a laser, tear the mesh.
Optimistic view of overcoming obstacles, constructing lasers to tear through challenges.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust
Reiteration of life's transient nature, echoing the earlier line about turning to dust.
Turn and turn and turn we must.
Reaffirmation of the cyclical nature of life's processes.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Repetition of the anticipation of witnessing someone dancing amid ruins.
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the act of dancing in ruins.
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Repetition of the anticipation of observing someone dancing in ruins.
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Reiteration of the expectation to witness dancing amid destruction.
Dancin' in the ruins!
Final emphasis on the theme of dancing in ruins, concluding the lyrics.
