Ballerina
Pink Cream 69 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I saw your picture
After I was gone
Forgotten colors
Of the world where you're on
Misery was all around
But you did not see
You're living your life inside a dream

Ballerina, I hear you cryin'
Ain't got nobody
Ain't got time for tryin'
Ballerina, dancin' with fire
Ain't got no wishes
Just got one desire

I saw you dancin' in a road with no end
Dreams of tomorrow
But a child in your head
Agony was all around
But you did not see
You're just a part of memory

Ballerina, I know you cryin'
Ain't got nobody
Ain't got time for tryin'
Ballerina, dancin' with fire
Ain't got no wishes
Just got one desire

Ballerina, ballerina
Dance your dreams
Ballerina, dance your dreams

Ballerina, look around

Misery is all around
Ballerina, look around and see

Overall Meaning

The song Ballerina by Pink Cream 69 speaks about a person who has lost touch with reality and has been living in a dream world. The singer starts the song by saying that he saw a picture of the person, after he had left them behind. He talks about how the person now lives in a world where everything is forgotten, and misery is all around, but they are not affected by it. The person has retreated into themselves and lives in a world of their own, where nothing can touch them.

The chorus of the song is where the title comes into play. It talks about the ballerina who is crying and has no one to help her. She is dancing with fire and has no wishes other than one desire. This desire is not mentioned in the lyrics, but it is implied that the ballerina wants to escape from the world she is in, where she has no one and nothing.

In the second verse, the singer talks about how he saw the ballerina dancing in a road with no end, which symbolizes her journey towards something that might never come to fruition. She dreams of tomorrow but is still a child in her head. Agony surrounds her, but she remains oblivious to it. She is merely just a part of a memory, lost in her world of dreams.

Overall, the song Ballerina talks about the dangers of getting lost in one's mind and the importance of facing reality. It is a poignant reminder of how one can get so caught up in their dreams that they lose sight of the present.

Once I saw your picture
Upon seeing your image, I was reminded of past memories

After I was gone
After leaving the place, I still remember you

Forgotten colors
The colours of the world seem dull and insignificant without you

Of the world where you're on
The world where you reside is much more beautiful than any other

Misery was all around
Despite the despair that surrounds you, you remain unaware

But you did not see
You remain oblivious to the pain that engulfs you

You're living your life inside a dream
Your life is being led under a veil of unreality

Ballerina, I hear you cryin'
I listen to your tears as you dance in the ballroom

Ain't got nobody
You are overlooked, ignored and left to fend for yourself

Ain't got time for tryin'
You are helpless in changing the present

Ballerina, dancin' with fire
You put your livelihood at risk as you dance with risky manoeuvres

Ain't got no wishes
As you continually take risks, all your dreams slowly vanish into thin air

Just got one desire
You only have one hope left

I saw you dancin' in a road with no end
You are dancing endlessly, never stopping for a break

Dreams of tomorrow
You dance whilst hoping for a better future

But a child in your head
You look and act naive, just like a child

Agony was all around
You are surrounded by conflicting moods of pain and despair

But you did not see
You translate your pain into graceful motions while disregarding the agony itself

You're just a part of memory
You remain stuck in time, living a life that's not grounded in reality

Ballerina, I know you cryin'
I recognize your tears as they roll down your face

Ballerina, dancin' with fire
Despite the risks, you relentlessly carry on with your intense passion

Ballerina, look around
Take a closer look at the world around you

Misery is all around
There's nothing but despair and sadness present

Ballerina, look around and see
Start to pay attention to your environment to gain much-needed insight

Ballerina, ballerina
The chorus highlights her as the ballerina

Dance your dreams
Fulfill all your deepest desires as you dance to the beat

Ballerina, dance your dreams
This is a repeat of the chorus which emphasizes the importance of pursuing your dreams
