La Vie Dansante
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break you heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay so lonely
See the ships heading for the rocks
See the time melting over the clocks
There's a light shadows all
The rocks that saves me
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me
Just where I want
That's all I want
La Vie Dansante
Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders
Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop, there's a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feeling
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you
Just where you want
That's all you want
La Vie Dansante
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me
Just where I want
That's all I want
La Vie Dansante
The lyrics of Aaron Neville's song La Vie Dansante depict a sense of melancholy but also a sense of hope. The first two lines of the song describe the possibility of losing everything one holds dear, including love. This imagery is followed by a description of ships heading for the rocks and time melting away over the clocks. The haunting imagery paints a compelling picture of the fragility of life and the inevitable passing of time.
However, amidst all of this seemingly negative imagery, there is a message of hope. The singer speaks of the light that saves him, and the wanderlust that drives him to follow La Vie Dansante, or the dancing life. The lyrics suggest that even in the midst of life's struggles and challenges, there is still beauty to be found if one looks hard enough. This sense of hope is reinforced by the upbeat tempo of the song and the repeated chorus of La Vie Dansante.
In all, the lyrics to La Vie Dansante are a reminder of the fragility and fleeting nature of life, but also the possibility of finding beauty and hope amidst the struggles. The song invites the listener to follow the dancing life and to embrace the journey with an open heart and a willingness to play with feeling.
