On the Floor
Love's Dance: A Tale of Despair and Escape
Lyrics
I can't stand you lying here on the floor.
The speaker is frustrated with someone lying on the floor.
But then again, I've asked you to move before,
The speaker has previously requested the person to move.
And you haven't.
Despite the request, the person hasn't moved.
I tried to get out of my apt. door,
The speaker attempted to leave their apartment.
And you were blocking the way,
The person on the floor was obstructing the speaker's path.
Passed out from the night before.
The person on the floor was unconscious from the previous night.
I had to carry my suitcase over you,
The speaker had to navigate around the person with a suitcase.
As you lay in your manger there,
The person on the floor is described as being in a manger-like position.
Passed out in a pool of drool and despair.
The person is passed out in a state of drooling and despair.
I said, I can't stand you lying here on the floor,
The speaker reiterates their frustration with the person lying on the floor.
But then again, I've asked you to move before
Similar to before, the speaker had asked the person to move but with no result.
And you haven't.
The person hasn't responded or complied with the speaker's request.
When I came home, you were talking about the sun
Upon the speaker's return, the person was discussing abstract ideas like the sun.
How it 'circles' in a dance of its own,
The person is talking about the sun's movement and behavior.
And talking to it on the phone.
They're speaking figuratively, suggesting talking to the sun on the phone.
About how the moon is a 'drop of earth'
The person describes the moon poetically as a 'drop of earth.'
Covered with thousands of lakes.
Describing the moon's surface as covered in lakes.
We both swim in them, escaping our darkness and hate.
The speaker and the person on the floor find solace in shared escapism from their troubles.
Looking for LOVE, searching for it,
Both are searching for love, seeking it out passionately.
We go looking for love, searching for it, ABOVE!
They emphasize the pursuit of love, aiming high ('ABOVE').
MUSIC: OUR LOVE,
The significance of music in their relationship is highlighted as love.
MUSIC: OUR LOVE,
Reiteration of music being a symbol of their love.
MUSIC: OUR LOVE!!
An emphatic declaration of music representing their love.
