Dark Waltz
Hayley Westenra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the color runs together
I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Time dancers whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven
Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever
Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel, let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light
The song Dark Waltz by Hayley Westenra is a beautiful piece with poetic lyrics. The song is about two people who are so in sync with each other that they dance as one. The lines ''We are the lucky ones, We shine like a thousand suns'' suggest that they've found a love that makes them radiant. The phrase ''When all of the color runs together'' could symbolize the blending of their individual identities into one multifaceted and colorful identity.
The singer then declares that she will ''keep you company in one glorious harmony'' and that they will ''waltz with destiny forever''. The word ''waltz'' suggests that they aren't just moving aimlessly, but are actively engaged in a dance that advances their destiny, and that they have agreed to stick together through the ups and downs of life.
The second verse describes the passage of time as dancers whirling past, while the singer gazes through a looking glass, that is a symbol of self-reflection. She sees the beauty of their love but realizes that it is just beyond her grasp, perhaps because it's so divine. The section that talks about ''Sacred geometry, where movement is poetry'' conjures up images of the beauty, order, and symmetry of nature, and how the singers' love is an integral part of this beauty. The last lines of the song promise to keep turning to the light, suggest that the singer will keep moving forward with hope in her heart, and will keep striving for a better future with her partner.

We are the lucky ones
We are the fortunate ones who possess something special in life
We shine like a thousand suns
We radiate with brightness and intensity, like the combined shine of a thousand suns
When all of the color runs together
When different colors combine to form a singular and unique entity

I'll remain by your side as a comforting presence
In one glorious harmony
In a beautiful and melodious unison
Waltzing with destiny forever
We'll dance with our fate for eternity
Dance me into the night
Take me on a dance in the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Beneath the brilliantly illuminated moon
Turning me into the light
Changing and transforming me into light
Time dancers whirling past
Moments of time are constantly moving and passing by us
I gaze through the looking glass
I observe and reflect upon the world through my thoughts and contemplation
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven
I sense that my own personal paradise is within my reach but I haven't quite reached it yet
Sacred geometry
Patterns and shapes of the universe which hold a divine essence and significance
Where movement is poetry
Where physical motion is an artistic expression
Visions of you and me forever
Images and representations of you and me in eternity
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Beneath the gleaming and illuminated full moon
Let the dark waltz begin
Allow the meaningful and emotional dance to commence
Oh let me wheel, let me spin
Allow me to move and turn in circles
Let it take me again
Let the overwhelming sensation take over me once more
Turning me into the light
Effortlessly transforming me into a shining and brilliant light
