Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing with tears in my eyes,
Dancing with tears in my eyes,
Living out a memory of a love that died,

It's five and I'm driving home again,
It's hard to believe that it's my last time,
The man on the wireless cries again,
It's over, it's over (it's over, it's over)

Dancing with tears in my eyes

[Chorus]
Dancing with tears in my eyes,
Living out a memory of a love that died,
Dancing with tears in my eyes,
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

Dancing with tears in my eyes,
Living out a memory of a love that died.

It's late and I'm with my love alone,
We drink to forget the coming storm,
We love to the sound of our favorite song,
Over and over [over and over]

[Chorus]

It's time and we're in each others arms,
It's time but I don't think we really care,

[Chorus]





Dancing with tears in my eyes,
Living out a memory of a love that died,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" by Novaspace describe the painful aftermath of a lost love. The singer is driving home at 5 a.m., unable to believe that it's over for good. The radio announcer's voice brings home the finality of the situation, marking the end of the relationship. Despite the sadness and tears, the singer reminisces about dancing to their favorite song, which now evokes bittersweet memories of what once was.


The second half of the song finds the singer with their former lover, both trying to forget the storm of emotions they're feeling. They engage in love and drink, but it's clear they're just trying to band-aid over the loss they feel. At the end of the song, they hold each other, but it's uncertain whether they truly care about each other, or if they're just needing someone to share their misery with.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the memories that linger long after a love has died.
