Dance
Moonlit Dreams: A Melancholic Dance of Longing and Romance
Lyrics
because the night is meant for dance
The nighttime is intended for dancing.
i put myself into a trance
The singer immerses themselves deeply into a trance-like state.
i dream of you, a lost romance
There's a yearning for a past romantic relationship with you.
to make the night go faster, faster
An attempt to hasten the passing of the night.
when the sun sets
When the sun sets, signifying the beginning of the night.
a sadness swaying in my chest
A feeling of sadness residing within the singer's chest.
a single last slow dancer in her head
Imagery of being the last person dancing slowly in one's thoughts.
i close my eyes and hear a waltz
The singer envisions a waltz while closing their eyes.
i try to make the longing stop
An attempt to stop or control the intense desire or yearning.
i picture your lips counting off
Imagining the movements of the loved one's lips while counting.
our feet follow behind
The singer and their loved one moving in sync.
because the night is meant for dance
Reiteration that the night is a time meant for dancing.
i put myself into a trance
A repetition of immersing oneself into a trance-like state.
i dream of you, a lost romance
Continued yearning for a lost romantic relationship.
i hate the moonlight in new places
Dislike for the moonlight in unfamiliar locations.
lonely and heavy memories it
Feelings of loneliness and the burden of poignant memories.
lingers like a gymnast on a beam
Comparison of lingering memories to an unsteady gymnast on a balance beam.
that isn't steady
Emphasizing the lack of stability in these memories.
i'm waiting for some sort of sign
Anticipating a sign or indication, possibly for direction or assurance.
someone to tell me i'm alive
Desiring validation or acknowledgment of existence from someone.
someone to look me in the eyes
Seeking eye contact and a deep connection with someone.
and dance with me forever
Longing for a partner to dance with indefinitely.
because the night is meant for dance
Reiteration that the night is a time meant for dancing.
i put myself into a trance
Repeated immersion into a trance-like state.
i dream of you, a lost romance
Continued yearning for a lost romantic relationship.
