Dancer in the Dark
Dancing Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Unforgettable Encounters
Lyrics
I saw her from across the bar
I noticed her from a distance in the bar
I was wondering where I woulda seen her before
I wondered where I might have seen her before
I rack my brain for her name but I just can't recall
I tried hard to remember her name but couldn't
She was wearin' her dad's tee shirt
She was wearing a t-shirt that belonged to her father
Ripped jeans covered in some dirt
Her jeans were torn and dirty
Her look plus my drink
Her appearance combined with my drink had a strong impact
Shit, it's gonna cause me to fall
This situation is likely to make me fall or be affected deeply
It's been a long time
A significant amount of time has passed
But I can't seem to shake this off my mind
I can't easily forget or shake off these thoughts
Then she started movin' her hips
She began moving her hips
And I remember it just like this
I vividly recall it happening exactly like this
She was a dancer in the dark
She was a dancer in low light or obscurity
Dark
Reiteration emphasizing darkness
We started dancin' in the dark
We commenced dancing in the dark
Dark
Reiteration emphasizing darkness
Took a step outside to get some air
Took a break outside to get some fresh air
The humidity and the smell of cigarettes was fuckin' up her hair
The high moisture and cigarette odor were affecting her appearance
I'm lookin' at her and I can't stop thinkin' 'bout a relationship
I couldn't stop thinking about a potential romantic relationship
Then she took my hand and we kissed and I remember it just like this
She took my hand, we kissed, and I remember it clearly
She was a dancer in the dark
She was a dancer in low light or obscurity
Dark
Reiteration emphasizing darkness
We started dancin' in the dark
We continued dancing in the dark
Dark
Reiteration emphasizing darkness
Woo
Expressing enthusiasm or excitement
I think I see a future here
I believe I see a potential future with her
I wanna be with her forever
Expressing a desire to be with her indefinitely
We're gonna tell our kids 'bout this
We will share this experience with our future children
It's a night we're gonna remember
Anticipating that this night will be memorable
I don't want this night to end
I wish this night wouldn't come to an end
Ah man, she's so entrancing
Expressing the captivating nature of her presence
And the funny thing is
Highlighting an ironic aspect: she's not particularly skilled at dancing
She isn't even that fucking good at dancing
Reiteration that she was a dancer in low light or obscurity
She was a dancer in the dark
Reiteration emphasizing darkness
Dark
-Oh yeah
Affirmation, possibly expressing satisfaction or agreement
