With the Lights Off
Dancing Through Life's Shadows
Lyrics
I've crunched every innocent lie i told myself
I've reflected on every innocent lie I told myself.
Slowly tasting the bitter flavour
Taking time to experience the unpleasant taste.
Of thousands and thousands of unjustified
Referring to numerous unjustified failures.
Failures i had to swallow
Describing the difficulty of accepting these failures.
I'm breathing out of my tight little plastic bag
Breathing metaphorically in a constrained situation.
That was snuffing all my ambitions
Describing a situation that suppressed ambitions.
And balling with the patience of a mom
Referencing patience, possibly contrasting with ambition.
The dreams now i'm picking up from my basket
Picking up dreams from a metaphorical basket.
Now i see you while you're smoking your last cigarette
Observing someone dealing with their uncertainties.
Trying to hide all your painful indecision
Expressing a desire for the person to understand.
But i wish you'd understand that we could
Suggesting the possibility of dancing together.
We could just dance together
Emphasizing unity and overcoming obstacles.
With lights off nothing is too far away (forget your indecision)
Highlighting the freedom and closeness in darkness.
Open your eyes and start jumping with me (everyone is ready)
Encouraging someone to open up and join the experience.
You can move your body and you'll feel better
Promoting movement as a source of well-being.
Drink your life 'cause no song is gonna lasts forever
Suggesting to enjoy life as songs are temporary.
Rise your hands in the air and jump on this stage
Encouraging participation and unity in a performance.
Lets get rid all the differences, all the divisions between you and us.
Advocating the elimination of differences between people.
Cause one day music will be free again
Expressing hope for music to be freely appreciated.
So you will clean up your make up and cut your emo hair
Suggesting a change in appearance for a fresh start.
Let's dances together
Reiterating the idea of dancing together.
With lights off nothing is too far away (forget your indecision)
Repeating the theme of closeness in darkness.
Open your eyes and start jumping with me ( everyone is ready)
Encouraging openness and active participation.
You can move your body and you'll feel better
Promoting the therapeutic aspect of movement.
Drink your life 'cause no song is gonna lasts forever
Emphasizing the transient nature of songs and experiences.
Fuck your rage
Rejecting negative emotions like rage.
Fuck your sadness
Rejecting sadness as well.
Fuck your shame
Rejecting shame.
Only to light your soul
Advocating for focusing on the soul's light.
Because this is not a school and here you don't need alibis
Stating that this is not a place requiring excuses.
With lights off nothing is too far away (forget your indecision)
Reiteration of the freedom and unity in darkness.
Open your eyes and start jumping with me (everyone is ready)
Encouraging active participation with readiness.
You can move your body and you'll feel better
Reiterating the therapeutic nature of movement.
Drink your life 'cause no song is gonna lasts forever
Emphasizing the transient nature of life experiences.
Is gonna lasts forever
Stating that the experience will last forever.
Is gonna lasts forever
Repeating the notion of a lasting experience.
Is gonna lasts forever
Reaffirming the everlasting nature of the experience.
