The Dance
Fatal Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No love
No heart
No life
No dreams to share
I got no answers, don't ask me questions
'Cause I got no time to spare
Tell me about your life, your plans
Your problems and your friends
Then tellme just how many times
Did you make it with a man?
It gets you down
It gets you down
When you still know the dance,
But you can't remember how
Have you heard the circus is in town,
Come and see the monkies jump
They'll go up and they'll go down,
They'll do whatever you want
And when the show is over
You can feed them compliments
Caress their hairy ego's shake their hands
The lyrics to Fatal Flowers's song "The Dance" express a deep sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer begins by listing off everything they lack - hope, love, heart, life, and dreams to share. This sets a very bleak tone, suggesting that the singer is in a very dark place emotionally. The second verse takes on a more sarcastic tone, with the singer telling others not to ask them questions because they have no answers and no time to spare. The final verse turns to the topic of other people's lives, asking them to share their stories and experiences. But even this conversation leads to a sense of disappointment and helplessness, as the singer realizes that they can no longer remember how to "dance" - to engage with the world around them and find joy in life.
