Dance A.D.N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby-baby-baby blues an' sorrows
And a love for tomorrows seems to suit you just fine
Baby-baby-baby blues an' sorrows
And a love for tomorrows seems to suit you just fine
Can't forget that you told me so many promises, lies
I'm gonna try to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes

You've broken my heart, gonna do it again
Can't get rid of the spell you got me in




Can't forget that you told me so many promises, lies
I'm gonna try to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dancing with tears in my eyes" by Dance A.D.N are about heartbreak and the struggle of moving on from a toxic relationship. The repetition of "baby-baby-baby blues" and "love for tomorrows" suggests that the singer is trapped in a cycle of sadness and hope, unable to escape the pain caused by his/her lover's broken promises and lies. The line "you've broken my heart, gonna do it again" conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance of the fact that the relationship is doomed to fail.

Lyrics
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
