Dancing Spirit
Nations of the Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the days are bright you feel unseen
And in the night, you search for a dream
Looking through the shadows of you tears
Drying in the sun

In the colours filling up your mind
There was still dust of light to be found
Use the dust to draw your line
Showing you where to run

Step by step you're coming home
You start to feel it in your bones
Like a spirit dancing alone
Tired to be on its own

Now your walk is coming to an end
Still you can't find the right place to stand on
You missed the door to Wonderland
While hiding in the sun

But when your heart tells you that the way ahead is long
But you can't find the strength to be going on
Just let the steps help you reach the home you've been waiting for
And place your hand and open the door

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Step by step you're coming home
You start to feel it in your bones
Like a spirit dancing alone
Tired to be on its own
Tired to be on its own
Ready to be coming home





The End.

Overall Meaning

The song 'Dancing Spirit' by Nations of the Soul is a deep and insightful journey of self-discovery, overcoming fears and finding one's true home. The opening lyrics "When the days are bright you feel unseen, and in the night, you search for a dream" represents the feeling of being lost and invisible amidst the hustle and bustle of life. It is only when one looks within and searches through the shadows of their tears that they can find the strength to overcome their fears.


The next set of lyrics talk about finding light amidst the darkness, which can guide you through the path you need to take. The dust of light mentioned represents hope, which can help guide you and show you the path towards your true purpose. As you continue to take one step at a time, you begin to feel a sense of belonging deep in your bones. This is represented in the lyrics, "Step by step you're coming home, you start to feel it in your bones, like a spirit dancing alone, tired to be on its own."


However, the journey is not an easy one. In the midst of finding your way, you may miss important opportunities, like the door to wonderland, while hiding in the sun. The lyrics "But when your heart tells you that the way ahead is long, But you can't find the strength to be going on, Just let the steps help you reach the home you've been waiting for, And place your hand and open the door" represents the courage to keep moving forward and pushing through difficult times to finally reach the ultimate goal of finding your true home where you belong.
