The Ballerina Song
Solitude's Reflection: A Dance Through Darkness
Lyrics
Turn out the lights leave me alone
Desire to be left alone in darkness, feeling at home there.
For in my darkness I have found a home
Feeling comfortable and settled in the darkness, metaphorically representing inner struggles.
All by my self here in the cold
Being alone in a cold emotional state.
But in my solitude I will search my soul
Using solitude to introspect and examine one's own soul.
I want some one to look at me
Desiring genuine recognition and understanding from someone.
Not what I am what I can be
Wishing to be appreciated for potential rather than current achievements.
There's just so much a heart can take
Recognizing emotional limitations; suggesting a breaking point for the heart.
And then there's nothing left to break
Reaching a state where there's nothing left emotionally to be shattered or hurt.
There in the light blinded by fame
Previously in the spotlight, blinded by fame and attention.
I was the brightest star and
Being a prominent and well-known figure to many.
They all knew my name i danced and danced
Being a celebrated performer, fulfilling expectations.
They wanted more
Demand for more performances despite giving one's best.
And every night they laid there
Receiving adoration and gifts regularly.
Roses at my door
Enjoying admiration for one's talents and presence.
I loved the way they looked at me
Feeling valued and admired when achieving the pinnacle of success.
When I was all that I could be
Enjoying appreciation when at the peak of capabilities.
I gave my all to all who came
Devoting oneself entirely to those seeking something from the performer.
Will I ever be the same covered with dust
Questioning if previous experiences will alter future perceptions, feeling neglected.
Just in the way what I could give if I
Feeling overlooked or disregarded, yearning to alleviate pain through dance.
Could dance my pain away i’d close my eyes
Desiring an escape from suffering and seeking solace through dance.
Get lose in time
Wishing to lose oneself in time to heal.
Till I could find the hidden
Seeking an inner refuge in the mind to wait for change.
Place here in my mind
Searching internally for a safe place or sanctuary.
Where I will wait till I can see some
Anticipating finding someone who loves genuinely for oneself.
One who loves me just for me
Desiring authentic love and acceptance for who one truly is.
