Dance in the rain
Alisa Geliss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We shrouded in mist of decaying hopes...
I stand on the ashes of the unsolved troubles
My eyes are open wide, my mind is cold...
My heart is beating, I burn in the flames
I must run away! I must run away!
Run away From the love and from the pain
Every day, every day I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
Dance in the rain Eah!
No way!
No more love no more pain
Every day, every day I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
Dance in the rain Eah!
Do not touch me, you've always been a stranger to me...
Your arms hurt me, it's hard to breathe.
I'm with you, cause I hoped that I could do it -
Run away from myself, but I'm still here.
My heart is beating, I burn in the flames
I must run away! I must run away!
Away!
Run away From the love and from the pain
Every day, every day I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
Dance in the rain Eah!
No way!
No more love no more pain
Every day, every day I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
I will dance in the rain
Dance in the rain Eah!
The lyrics to "Dance In The Rain" by Alisa Geliss talk about the struggle of dealing with sorrow and hurt, and the desire to run away from it. The first verses set the scene of feeling lost in a mist of "decaying hopes" and standing on the "ashes of unsolved troubles", with a mindset of detachment and coldness. The chorus then repeats the phrase "I will dance in the rain", which becomes a sort of mantra or coping mechanism to face the pain and move forward. The second verse speaks to the conflict of trying to escape from oneself and finding comfort in someone else's arms, but also feeling hurt and suffocated by them. The overall message of the song seems to be about the importance of facing one's emotions and finding strength in oneself, even when it seems impossible.
