Last Waltz
Dancing Through Paradox: The Last Waltz of Love and Confusion
Lyrics
Make me blind
Expressing a desire to be oblivious or ignorant.
Cover my eyes
Asking to be shielded from certain realities.
You can do what you want
Granting permission to do as one pleases.
I'm paralyzed by the perfect mood
Feeling immobilized by an ideal or perfect emotional state.
When we're dancing with blindfolds on
Describing a situation where emotions are intense and unpredictable.
You make it easy to love you and hate you
Acknowledging conflicting emotions of love and hatred.
I can't explain it, I feel insecure
Expressing a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty.
Say it simple: "You die just to live again."
Summarizing the paradox of dying to experience life again.
You say we're waiting for the last waltz
Anticipating a significant, perhaps final, moment or event.
Another you and me
Referring to the existence of another pair in a romantic context.
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
Describing a revolutionary and idealized romantic relationship.
Waiting for the last waltz
Reiterating the anticipation of a significant event.
And so it seems
Indicating a realization of difficulty in finding a resolution.
We won't find the solution
Accepting that a solution may be elusive.
Confusion leads the dance
Describing a state of confusion dominating the situation.
We're waiting for the last waltz
Repeating the expectation of the awaited event.
Praise the wine
Celebrating something intoxicating and delightful.
So divine
Describing the captivating and heavenly nature of the experience.
And it stings like a rose
Recognizing that pleasure can be accompanied by pain.
Allow the night to flow inside
Encouraging openness to emotional experiences.
Open the window and let the wind blow
Welcoming external influences into the emotional space.
Highlight of the night is the unhappy ending
Highlighting the significance of a melancholic conclusion.
You keep refusing to answer my calls
Expressing frustration over unanswered communication.
Drop the bending and stop the pretending
Encouraging honesty by discouraging pretense.
You say get ready for the last waltz
Reiterating the preparation for the awaited event.
Another you and me
Referring again to the existence of another romantic pair.
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
Reiterating the idealized nature of a revolutionary romance.
Waiting for the last waltz
Repeating the anticipation of the significant event.
And so it seems
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding a resolution.
We won't find the solution
Reiterating that a clear solution may be elusive.
Confusion leads the dance
Highlighting the dominance of confusion in the situation.
We're waiting for the last waltz
Repeating the expectation of the awaited event.
I believe that no one in this world has the answers for me
Expressing a belief in the absence of answers in the world.
But still I hope that someone has heard
Maintaining hope that someone may have heard the plea.
Oh you and me
Referring again to the existence of another romantic pair.
Another revolutionary heavenly romance
Reiterating the idealized nature of a revolutionary romance.
Waiting for the last waltz
Repeating the anticipation of the significant event.
And so it seems
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding a resolution.
We won't find the solution
Reiterating that a clear solution may be elusive.
Confusion leads the dance
Highlighting the dominance of confusion in the situation.
We're waiting for the last waltz
Repeating the expectation of the awaited event.
