Danse Macabre
Scalene Lyrics

The lyrics of Danse Macabre by Scalene are rich with emotions and ambiguity, making it open to various interpretations. The first stanza indicates that the singer is a mixture of good and bad, holding a part of the one he is addressing, and constrained to contain it. The next lines suggest that the addressed person is a part of the singer, yet true and bad, held captive in a mannequin that the singer wants to fall and disappear, but it won't - either because it's a figment of their imagination or a part of themselves that they cannot get rid of.

It seems that the singer is wrestling with their inner demons, trying to reconcile the good and the bad within them. They have an intense desire to be free of their inner struggles and rid themselves of the bad part. At the same time, they are trying to connect with someone else who can understand them, which is reflected in the use of "pedaço de mim" (part of me) and "um pedaço de ti" (a part of you).

The song seems to be about the internal battle that most people go through, whether it be with themselves or with their past. It expresses the need for freedom from the inner struggles and the desire to connect with others. It's a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and that we need to conquer our inner demons to be at peace with ourselves.
