Avalon
Mystical Dance of Unspoken Desires in Roxy Music's Avalon
Lyrics
Now the party's over
Reflection on the end of a celebration or event.
I'm so tired
Expressing fatigue, possibly from the festivities.
Then I see you coming
Noticing someone approaching.
Out of nowhere
Surprised by someone appearing unexpectedly.
Much communication in a motion
Non-verbal communication, possibly dance or body language.
Without conversation or a notion
Communication without words or clear understanding.
Avalon
Introduction of the place or state of mind - Avalon.
When the samba takes you
Reference to a dance style, possibly metaphorical.
Out of nowhere
Unexpected occurrences or changes in the background.
And the background's fading
The surroundings losing clarity and significance.
Out of focus
The picture or situation evolving and becoming unclear.
Yes the picture's changing
Constant change in the experience of the moment.
Every moment
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
And your destination
Destination or purpose unknown or ambiguous.
You don't know it
Uncertainty about the destination or future.
Avalon
Reiteration of the reference to Avalon.
Dancing, dancing
Repetition of dancing, suggesting joy or celebration.
Dancing, dancing
When you bossanova
Reference to another dance style, possibly metaphorical.
There's no holding
No constraints or limitations while bossanova (dancing).
Would you have me dancing
Asking if the person would join in the dance unexpectedly.
Out of nowhere
Surprised by someone suddenly participating in the dance.
