Dancer
Exploring Life's Colors: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I'm learning how to change from blue to green
I am learning to transform emotionally from a sad state (blue) to a more positive one (green).
How to keep my fires burning clean
Learning to maintain my passions and desires in a pure and ethical manner.
Breaking up some pallets with a sledge
Breaking wooden pallets with a sledgehammer, possibly symbolizing breaking obstacles or challenges.
Pile 'em up and strike a match
Creating a pile of broken pallets and igniting it with a match, suggesting a process of transformation or renewal.
I love to wave at strangers from the train
Expressing a fondness for brief connections with strangers, acknowledging their transient nature.
See them once and never seen again
Observing strangers from a train, emphasizing the fleeting nature of encounters.
No one knows where I go
Highlighting the mystery and privacy of personal journeys; no one knows where the singer goes.
No one knows how I do
Emphasizing the secrecy of the singer's actions; no one knows the method behind their choices.
Yet they still cheer me on
Despite the secrecy, there is support and encouragement from others.
Get off in a suburban Minnesota town
Getting off a train in a suburban Minnesota town, indicating a change of location and environment.
Pick up some rocks and then I'll roll around
Gathering rocks and rolling around, possibly symbolizing playful and carefree behavior.
Take a swim after dark
Taking a swim after dark in a business park fountain, suggesting unconventional and spontaneous actions.
In the fountain of a business park
Expressing a desire to maintain intellectual clarity while discarding unnecessary thoughts.
I wanna keep my head but ditch my brains
Collecting tears and transforming them into rain, symbolizing emotional purification or renewal.
Collect your tears and turn them into rain
Rejecting the concept of apologies; everything is deemed okay in the singer's perspective.
There's no such thing as sorry
Despite challenges, the singer remains committed and devoted to someone even when they leave.
It's all OK
Referencing the manual labor of the past generation (grandfather) in building stone walls.
I'm still yours when you walk away
Contrasting traditional faith with contemporary consumerism (faith acquired at the mini mall).
Grandpa used his hands to build stone walls
Describing the mother as a hunter in a blind, possibly symbolizing a vigilant and observant nature.
Cousin gets her faith at the mini mall
Characterizing the father as a ghost, suggesting a spiritual or intangible presence.
Mom's a hunter in a blind
Identifying as a dancer in the mind, expressing an internal and imaginative form of self-expression.
Dad's a ghost of the earthly kind
Reiterating the identity as a dancer in the mind.
I'm a dancer in my mind
Reaffirming the identity as a dancer in the mind.
I'm a dancer in my mind
Reiterating the identity as a dancer in the mind.
I'm a dancer in my mind
Reaffirming the identity as a dancer in the mind.
