Dancing Into Hell
Ruth Ann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember Andy, always the same
Searching for the only truth
They're stranded on the coast
Of "Nothing more to lose"
Future will be your past
A few moments of feeling well
While you're dancing, dancing into hell
Dancing into hell
Think about Mary, think about Jane
Remember Andy …
Life is too precious to throw it away
There's no exception it's always the same
Searching for the only truth
You're stranded on the coast
Of "Nothing more to lose"
The future will be your past
If you join the angels of dust
A few moments of feeling well
While you're dancing, dancing into hell
Dancing into hell
Future will be your past
If you join the angels of dust
A few moments of feeling well
While you're dancing, dancing into hell
Dancing into hell
But it seems you're feeling well
The lyrics of Ruth Ann's "Dancing Into Hell" vividly depict the struggles of individuals who attempt to find the meaning of life and truth, often in the face of societal pressure and adversity. The song evokes a feeling of desperation and a sense of being lost, as if being stranded on the coast with "nothing more to lose". The repetition of the names Mary, Jane, and Andy reinforces this sense of desperation and invokes the shared experiences of people who are searching for answers.
The chorus of "Dancing Into Hell" highlights the dangers of partying and living for brief moments of pleasure. Ruth Ann warns that "Future will be your past/ If you join the angels of dust", referencing the cliche of "ashes to ashes, dust to dust" and implying that those who seek only fleeting pleasures will ultimately be forgotten. The juxtaposition of the phrase "a few moments of feeling well" with the concept of dancing into hell is haunting, as it suggests that the temporary euphoria of indulgence can lead to a lifetime of pain and regret.
Overall, "Dancing Into Hell" urges listeners to take their lives seriously and to not fall into the trap of fleeting pleasures, as the future is shaped by our actions in the present. The song conveys a powerful message about the importance of authenticity, honesty, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
