Dancing in the Dark
Embracing Change: Yearning for Sparks
Lyrics
I get up in the evenin'
I wake up in the evening
And I ain't got nothin' to say
Feeling uncommunicative and empty
I come home in the mornin'
I return home in the morning
I go to bed feelin' the same way
Going to bed with the same emotional state
I ain't nothin' but tired
I'm exhausted and worn out
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Expressing fatigue and dissatisfaction with oneself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
Seeking assistance from a partner
You can't start a fire
Emphasizing that change requires a catalyst
You can't start a fire without a spark
Change requires a spark or inspiration
This gun's for hire
Referencing a willingness to take on challenges
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if the only activity is dancing in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Communication is becoming clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
Listening to the radio and moving around the living space
I check my look in the mirror
Checking one's appearance in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Desiring a change in physical appearance
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
Expressing frustration about lack of progress
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
Lamenting a stagnant and undesirable living situation
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Believing that something positive is happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
Having faith in a positive outcome
You can't start a fire
Reiterating the need for a spark for change
You can't start a fire without a spark
Stressing the importance of inspiration for transformation
This gun's for hire
Referencing a willingness to face challenges
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if the only activity is dancing in the dark
You sit around gettin' older
Reflecting on the passage of time and getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
Acknowledging a personal joke or irony
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Determined to overcome challenges and difficulties
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Encouraging a partner to join in and share the burden
Stay on the streets of this town
Staying in the familiar environment of the town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
Warning about potential challenges and criticism
They say you gotta stay hungry
Emphasizing the importance of staying motivated
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
Expressing intense hunger or desire
I'm dyin' for some action
Craving excitement and action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
Frustration with the process of writing a book
I need a love reaction
Seeking a positive and affirming response from a partner
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
Desiring a simple acknowledgment or glance
You can't start a fire
Reiterating the need for a spark for change
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
Not allowing oneself to be held back by a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Expressing a readiness to take on challenges
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if the only activity is dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire
Not letting worries about the world hinder progress
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
Emphasizing the importance of personal growth
This gun's for hire
Readiness to face challenges and obstacles
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if the only activity is dancing in the dark
