Elisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And carry it far away where I can fly
The depth of life will dim my temptation to live for you
If, if I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
'Cause it's all about love and I know better
How life is a waving feather
So I put my arms around you, around you
My eyes are on you, they're on you
And you see that I can't stop shaking
No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'Cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh, could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle
So I put my arms around you, around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you, they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
So I just put my arms around you, around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
My arms around you, they're around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you
They're on you
They're on you
My eyes
Elisa's song "Dancing" is a beautiful and emotional love ballad that speaks to the power of love and its ability to transport us to a different place, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines of the song reference the way time can sometimes feel like an enemy, slowly carrying our minds away from the people and things we love. However, the song's protagonist finds solace in the arms of their lover, knowing that they will soon be reunited and able to live again.
Throughout the song, Elisa weaves together themes of love, fear, and vulnerability, painting an intimate portrait of a relationship that is both beautiful and fragile. The chorus, where Elisa sings about putting her arms around her partner and hoping not to do any harm, is particularly poignant, highlighting the importance of trust and communication in any relationship.
The song also features a memorable bridge, where Elisa sings about dancing in the room as if she were in the woods with her lover, illustrating the power of music to transport us and make us feel alive. The repetition of the line "time still exists" further emphasizes the importance of being present in the moment and appreciating the time we have with the ones we love.

Secondo me è indubbiamente la canzone più bella di Elisa
@PatrickZiggy
First time hearing this. After 46 years, I'm extremely picky when it comes to music. She won me over. What a delight!
@Deisinoful
People don't just sit there saying what a wonderful song is this. Elisa has scores of beautiful songs with English and Italian lyrics. Just search for them on Youtube and spend a pair of weeks listening to some of the most beautiful music ever. Damn, it's free
@giulianobowie9065
La capacità con cui Elisa riesce a coinvolgerti emotivamente è una dote rara. Se in più si aggiunge una misura e un equilibrio - tecnico ed emotivo - come quelli dimostrati in questo pezzo, beh allora direi che siamo davvero difronte ad un dono da cui trarre solo buone vibrazioni, come direbbero i Beach Boys :) Pezzo straordinario.
