The Dancer
Dancing through Love's Flames: The Frames' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
She was in a class of 44 beautiful dancers
Describes the woman as one of 44 beautiful dancers in a class.
And I watched her pirouette around the stars
Observing her graceful movements, comparing them to pirouetting around the stars.
In her poms
Refers to her poms, likely part of a dance costume or performance.
And I must have told her one thousand times
The speaker mentally expresses love to her numerous times.
In my mind, that I loved her
Reiterating the constant declaration of love in the speaker's thoughts.
I got drunk one night, she was on the steps
The speaker recalls a moment when he was intoxicated, and she was present on the steps.
She touched my shoulder oh oh oh oh
She physically touches the speaker's shoulder, indicating a connection or intimacy.
I was young and full of grace
Reflecting on the speaker's youth and grace when he entered a challenging situation.
When I stepped into the fire, with my dancer
He entered into a metaphorical "fire" with the dancer, suggesting a risky or intense relationship.
She had barely come of age
Despite her young age, she encouraged the speaker in their journey.
But she was egging me on, all the way down
She was supportive and enthusiastic as they faced challenges together.
And I told her as the ship sank
Expressing love to her as a ship sinks, symbolizing a difficult or sinking situation.
That I loved her
Reiterating the declaration of love even in challenging circumstances.
And I told her as we walked off of the plank
Continuing to express love as they face a perilous situation (walking off the plank).
I was all hers oh oh oh oh
Stating that he belongs to her completely as they face danger.
Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4
These lines seem to describe dance steps, possibly representing the rhythm or pattern of their relationship.
Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4
-Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4
-Step 2, 3, 4, and jump that's good
