Flashdance
Cara Irene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind
All alone, I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash, it takes hold of my heart
What a feeling
Being's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now)
Being's believin' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
(Call, call, call, call)
(What a feeling)
I can have it all (being's believin')
Being's believin' (take your passion)
(Make it happen)
Make it happen
(What a feeling)

The lyrics to Cara Irene's song "Flashdance" are about the power of music and dance to help overcome fear and achieve one's dreams. The song starts with the singer feeling lost and uncertain, with their fears hiding deep inside their mind. They have cried alone, with silent tears full of pride, in a world made of steel and stone. However, when they hear music and close their eyes, they feel the rhythm wrap around them and take hold of their heart. They are filled with a sense of belief and passion, and they dance for their life. The chorus repeats "what a feeling" several times, emphasizing the joy and fulfillment that comes from following one's passions and living life to the fullest.
The second part of the song repeats the chorus, with some modifications. The singer is now one with the music, feeling the rhythm in their body, and they can make their pictures come alive by dancing right through their life. The song emphasizes the power of music and dance to help overcome fear and achieve one's dreams, with the repeated refrain "take your passion and make it happen." The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus, with the singer feeling empowered and inspired to make their dreams a reality.
Line by Line Meaning
First when there's nothing
At first, when there’s nothing happening in your life
But a slow glowing dream
All you have is a faint, slow dream
That your fear seems to hide
Your fears and doubts cloud your thoughts
Deep inside your mind
Which seems to come from deep within your consciousness
All alone I have cried
You’ve cried alone, in your solitude
Silent tears full of pride
Feeling a sense of pride but holding back tears
In a world made of steel
In a world that’s harsh and unyielding
Made of stone
A world devoid of emotions, of warmth and kindness.
Well, I hear the music
But then suddenly, you hear the music, the beat that moves you
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
You close your eyes, let yourself feel the beat
Wrap around
It engulfs you, takes you in its embrace
Take a hold of my heart
And fills your heart with a sense of passion and purpose
What a feeling
It’s an amazing feeling, indescribable
Bein's believin'
It’s like being alive, really believing in yourself
I can have it all
You realize that you can achieve everything you want
Now I'm dancing for my life
You start dancing, it’s like your life depends on it
Take your passion
Take that burning passion inside you
And make it happen
And channel it to make things happen
Pictures come alive
Your dreams become real, just like in a picture
You can dance right through your life
You start dancing your way through life, living it with passion and joy
Now I hear the music
You hear the music again
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
This time, you don’t just feel the rhythm, you embody it
In a flash
In a moment, it all makes sense
It takes hold of my heart
The beat takes over and fills your heart
What a feeling
It’s an incredible, exhilarating feeling
Pictures come alive when I call
Your dreams become real, they come to life when you focus on them
I can really have it all
You believe that you truly can have everything you’ve ever wanted
Have it all
You know you will have it all
Call, call, call, call
You call out to the universe to bring it to you
Happen
And it happens because you’ve made it happen

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
