The Dance Before
Golem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Again asleep
Waiting for some relief
I know I am
The one to blame

Waiting for nights
When sleep will be deep
I need someone, some help
Something

And now I'm wondering why
I broke my world to pieces
Dragging with me your life
And yet pray for grace
Deserving or not
I fear this pain I bear
Is my free pass to heaven

Should I surrender
Should I pay by grief
Feelings of guilt are smashing my mind
No rest for me
No light in my eyes
My sun will set
At down for ever

And now I'm wondering why
I broke my world to pieces
Dragging with me your life
And yet pray for grace
Deserving or not
I fear this pain I bear
Is my free pass to heaven

Some come and join me
In the dance before
The fire spirits may be pleased
Could that be so sweet
Help me chasing shifty gods once more

Let the dancer feed the flames of hope
Each spark will tell my wish and deeds
Can die and let live
Ash will bury words and what they mean

Some come and join me
In the dance before
The fire spirits may be pleased
Could that be so sweet
Help me chasing shifty gods once more

Let the dancer feed the flames of hope
Each spark will tell my wish and deeds
Can die and let live
Ash will bury words and what they mean

Some come and join me
In the dance before
The fire spirits may be pleased




Could that be so sweet
Help me chasing shifty gods once more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Golem's song "The Dance Before" reflect a deep sense of guilt and regret over the consequences of the singer's actions. The opening lines reveal a restless and troubled state, as the singer waits for relief from the pain that they know they have caused. The lines "Waiting for nights/ When sleep will be deep/ I need someone, some help/ Something" present a feeling of desperation and a need for comfort.


The singer then goes on to question their own actions, wondering why they broke their world apart and brought others down with them. The lines "And yet pray for grace/ Deserving or not/ I fear this pain I bear/ Is my free pass to heaven" suggest a sense of self-awareness and a recognition that they may not deserve forgiveness, but they still hope for it.


The final stanza offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer invites others to join them in a dance before the fire. The imagery of the fire and spirits creates a mystical and almost pagan atmosphere, as the singer seeks to find a sense of peace and understanding through this ritual. Ultimately, the song expresses a deep sense of remorse but also a willingness to seek redemption and a release from guilt.
