Don't Stop The Dance
The Bryan Ferry Orchestra Lyrics

Mama says truth is all that matters
My mother has always told me that the most essential thing in life is the truth and being honest with oneself and others.

Lying 'n' deceiving is a sin
According to my mother, it is morally wrong and sinful to deceive and tell lies to others.

Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered
I feel lost and aimlessly moving through a world that is damaged and shattered in so many ways.

Every thought I have don't mean a thing
Despite having many thoughts, worries, and fears, my mother reminds me that their true value is limited if they don't manifest in meaningful actions.

Don't stop, don't stop the dance
In the midst of everything that's happening around me, I need to keep dancing and moving forward, not letting the difficulties of life bring me down.

No, more music, don't stop the dance
I want to keep the music playing, and dancing rhythmically to its beat, because it helps me forget the problems and challenges that threaten to take over my mind and heart.

Mama says love is all that matters
My mother believes that the most important thing to strive for in life is to love and be loved, with kindness and compassion towards others as a fundamental part of who we are.

Beauty should be deeper than your skin
According to my mother, beauty is more than just outward appearances; it is defined by one's character, values, and morals, which must be fostered and developed within oneself.

Living for the moment, lips and lashes
My life is often fast-paced and consumed by the sensory pleasures of the present moment, with my attention shifting from one thing to the next, without much depth of thought or contemplation.

Will I ever find my way again
Amidst the chaos and confusion of life, I question whether I will ever find my way back to a place of inner peace and clarity of purpose.

Mama says only stormy weather
My mother warns me that life is full of ups and downs, and that sometimes, the storms can be fierce and unrelenting.

Don't know why there's no sun in the sky
At times, I feel overwhelmed with sadness and despair, as though the world around me is void of joy or hope, with a sense of gloom and darkness prevailing.

Footsteps in the dark come together
Despite the challenges I face in life, I know that I am not alone, and that there are others around me who share similar struggles and challenges, all walking together towards a brighter future.

Got to keep on moving or I'll die
In this chaotic and tumultuous world, I need to keep moving forward, to keep living and growing, or else risk being consumed by its darker elements.
