Dance All Night
Ephemeral Moments: Dance All Night's Poignant Farewell
Lyrics
What will be the consequences of our grand parade?
Questioning the outcome or repercussions of a celebratory event or display.
Bloody ticker-tape, falling at our feet
Imagery of celebratory confetti falling, possibly symbolizing the aftermath of an event.
It's a feast for the senses, breathe in that hickory smoke
Describing the atmosphere of the event as rich, possibly with a reference to a specific scent, creating a sensory experience.
And while you pray I choke, the band begins to play
Contrasting emotions—while someone prays, the singer feels suffocated; music starts amidst this.
If this must be our final song
A contemplation on mortality or the potential end of something significant.
Let's dance all night, dance all night
Suggesting making the most of the moment by dancing all night despite circumstances.
Because I know your every move
Implying familiarity and intimacy with the partner's actions.
Let's dance all night
Reiterating the desire to dance all night, embracing the present moment.
Come over here baby, I'll shake my hips for you
Inviting the partner closer, offering a dance with a playful gesture.
We'll go spinning round the boxes
Visualizing movement around symbolic barriers or challenges in their relationship.
Filled with incidents, our lovely parallels, the artifacts of love
Reflecting on shared experiences and the evidence or remnants of their love.
If it weren't for bad choices, I'd have Etta James
Regretting past decisions that might have led to missed opportunities or unfulfilled desires.
Well spiked lemonade and your nails across my back
Evoking the sensory memory of a specific drink and the physical sensation of nails on the skin.
If this must be our final song
Repetition of the contemplation on the potential finality of the situation.
Let's dance all night, dance all night
Advocating for enjoying the moment by dancing despite the uncertainty.
Because I know your every move
Reiteration of understanding the partner's actions or intentions.
Let's dance all night
Reaffirming the desire to dance despite circumstances.
Come over here baby, I'll shake my hips for you
Repeating the invitation for physical closeness and dancing together.
If this must be our final song
Reemphasizing the possibility of this being the final moment or event.
Let's dance all night, dance all night
Encouraging seizing the moment and dancing together despite uncertainties.
Because I know your every move
Understanding the partner's actions or movements once again.
Let's dance all night
Insistence on the desire to keep dancing despite potential finality.
Come over here baby, I'll shake my hips for you
Continuing the invitation for physical closeness and dancing together.
