When The Dancer You Have Loved Walks Out The Door
Secret Service Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No claim of fame no glory - just aggravation
That might be an answer fading away
Running like a shadow wanting to stay
Oh-oh
It was a simple story
Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door
Burning hot and learning
Like I've frozen picture frame
No one else can help me stop the pain
There′s not a hint of Christie, no investigation
At times my mind goes misty to much sedation
All that midnight phantoms sharing my bed
Mixing up the reasons inside my head
Oh-oh
It was a simple story
Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
It's hard to face the music
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door
Burning hot and learning
Like I've frozen picture frame
No one else can help me stop the pain
Burning hot and learning
When you tip toe cross the floor
It′s hard to face the music
When the dancer you have loved walks out the door
Burning hot and learning
Like I′ve frozen picture frame
No one else can help me stop the pain
The lyrics of Secret Service's "When The Dancer You Have Loved Walks Out The Door" speak of heartbreak caused by the departure of a loved one. The simple story of provocation refers to a situation where a misunderstanding or argument led to the loved one leaving. The singer is learning to cope with the pain and feels like a frozen picture frame, unable to move on. He recalls moments spent with the loved one in bed, and the reasons for the departure are unclear, as he mixes them up in his head.
The imagery evoked through the lyrics is of a dancer gracefully walking out the door, leaving the singer in pain. The metaphor of dancing also represents the delicate balance in a relationship, where one misstep can cause irreparable harm. The line "no one else can help me stop the pain" shows the singer's sense of isolation and desperation. He is learning to move on but unable to do so without help.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of heartache and loss caused by a sudden departure, leaving the singer feeling helpless and alone.
