Glass Danse
The Faint Lyrics

Feel the vapor pressure drop as the dark steam pours out the entrance
As you enter the club, you can feel the atmosphere change; you can almost see the vapor pressure dropping as the steam pours out of the door.

Real cold world is swirling in to a club that keeps the life world out
The club is a place where people go to escape the real world and all of its problems; it's a cold, dark place where the outside world doesn't matter.

Where every sense seems deathly weak from the frozen time you spent in transit.
Once you're inside the club, time seems to stand still; everything feels frozen, and your senses are weakened from the journey it took to get there.

The glass dance world flickers on and the low end thaws your anxious body
The music and the atmosphere of the club start to take over, and you begin to relax and let go of your anxieties.

Maybe I feel detached, I may just look too shy
While you're there, you may feel out of place or uncomfortable, but that's okay.

It's a disinterest not that I'm a timid guy
You might appear shy or timid to others, but really it's just that you're not interested in the same things they are.

I call them bodies but, they are attentive too
You might refer to the other people in the club as 'bodies,' but they are just as aware of you as you are of them.

I feel the social glare, I feel the attitude
You can sense a certain social pressure in the club, and maybe even some attitude from others who don't share your interests or attitude.

Watch as mirrors clear themselves with the breath of frigid air that eased in
There are mirrors in the club that become clearer as the cold air from outside makes its way in and clears the foggy glass.

Made up babies all rotate as a siren spins a beam of amber
People in the club seem to be acting like children, and the way the music and lights play tricks on the eyes makes it feel like they're in a revolving door.

Time sliced beat by beat in a row, in a club, in a line, in the city
Everything in the club seems to happen in slow motion, with each beat of the music marking the passing of time in a larger, more urban context.

The glass danse world flickers on because the cycle happens enough:
The cycle of people coming in and out of the club, experiencing the same things over and over again, is what keeps the club alive and the glass danse world flickering.

A baby fall out warm, it's screaming for its life
Every time someone new comes into the club, it's like a newborn baby who's screaming for life and attention.

An infant tries to dance, as it grows up then dies
The people in the club are like infants trying to dance, learning and growing until they eventually leave or 'die' in some way, whether it's through the end of a night or the end of a relationship.
