Waltzing Along
JAMES (live) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help comes when you need it most
I'm cured for laughter
Mood swings not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster (in plaster)

May your mind set you free
(chorus: opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe all of disaster
(chorus: opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on

These wounds are all self-imposed
Life's no disaster, disaster
All roads lead unto death-row
Who knows what's after

May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your mind's will be broken
By this heart-felt song

May your mind set you free (Chorus: Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe all of disaster (Chorus: Be opened by the
wonderful)
May your heart lead you on, may your heart lead you on
May your eyes let you see all of disaster
May your heart lead you on, lead you on
(Chorus: May your eyes be opened by the wonderful)




Set you free (Chorus: May your heart lead you on)
Lead you on

Overall Meaning

The song "Waltzing Along" by JAMES (live) is a powerful and uplifting track about finding hope in difficult times. The first verse talks about how help comes when you need it most and how laughter can cure even the darkest moods. However, the following line expresses uncertainty about being able to cope with mood swings, indicating that there are still struggles to overcome. The following verse contradicts this by saying that all wounds are self-imposed and that life is not a disaster, but rather death is inevitable. The song ends with a hopeful prayer for the mind to be wide open, the heart to beat strong, and for disaster to be seen as an opportunity for growth and change.


The song's lyrics are ambiguous enough to be interpreted in many different ways, which makes it a great anthem for anyone going through a tough time. It could be about depression, addiction, grief, or any other struggle that people face in their lives. The theme of hope is universal and can resonate deeply with anyone who feels lost or alone. The repeated chorus of "May your mind set you free / May your heart lead you on" is a powerful affirmation of the importance of mental and emotional health.

My dad loved this song, not really my cup of tea, but I played it to him on his death bed. Get real comfort listening to it now a few years later, I hope it gave him some solace in his final hours
