Dance Baby Dance
Statics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a sucker for your flame
It would smother me time and time again
Your glow intoxicating
I was scorching in your clutch
You were melting everything that you would touch
Your hold incinerating
Burning up from the inside out
Can't pretend it was nothing
There's nobody else
I'm burning up, it must be a curse
You have given it up, and all too easily
Burning up, in a sea of lies
A lake of fire and I can't swim
I'm burning up, under pressure, giving in
Burning alive, you do your fire dance
You hated everything I said
Kept your anger locked up deep inside your head
Your look was smoldering
Now I'm empty, gone insane
I would run, but I am locked up by your chain
Your fury raging as I'm
Burning up from the inside out
Can't pretend it was nothing
There's nobody else
I'm burning up, it must be a curse
You have given it up, and all too easily
Burning up, in a sea of lies
A lake of fire and I can't swim
I'm burning up, under pressure, giving in
Burning alive, you do your fire dance
I am thrashing in your blaze
I am a servant to your gaze
Gnashed to pieces, falling down
My whole life has now been razed
How could you just decide
You could simply override
Enmity ignites
Everything has slowly died
Burning up from the inside out
Can't pretend it was nothing
There's nobody else
I'm burning up, it must be a curse
You have given it up, and all too easily
Burning up, in a sea of lies
A lake of fire and I can't swim




I'm burning up, under pressure, giving in
Burning alive, you do your fire dance

Everything has gradually withered and perished
