Stylisticly, The Feeling have a debt of gratitude to the 70s, particularly bands such as 10cc, Supertramp, Pilot, Buggles, Queen, Stackridge, and other "progressive pop" acts. They are not averse to wearing their heart on their sleeve at gigs, playing covers of tunes by their favourite artists (such as 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by Buggles).
The Feeling have also followed the 'progressive' tradition of the concept album, with Twelve Stops and Home being a concept album about lost and unrequited love. The album starts with a relationship having just broken up, then follows through with the various emotions of the protagonist from hopeless dreamer to turning to drink for comfort, and finally slumping home.
Dance For The Lights
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowing down as she takes the stage
She, She, She, She, She
Is consumed by another place
Her eyes, her eyes, her eyes
Are a painted and distant sight
Showing no signs of the power that she has become
Follow you down as your spinning around for me
Dance for me please dance for me
Just dance for me
That's what i want to see
Air, Air, Air, Air, Air
Is so thick she can float inside
Lips, Lips, Lips, Lips, Lips
I am drawn to the redness there
No smile, no smile, no smile
She's not there in a big way
Thinking of something and nothing and dancing for me
Dance for me, Dance for me, Dance for me, Dance for me
Spinning around and shuffling in space
You're sexiness with elegance and grace
My lust I'm lost my last wish and desire
My innocence I throw into your fire
The lyrics to The Feeling & Róisín Murphy's song Dance For The Lights are shrouded in an enigmatic and hypnotic tone. The repetition of words such as "Time," "She," and "Her eyes" emphasized the singer's anticipation and attraction to the woman dancing before him. He is drawn into her performance, which is consuming and mesmerizing. Her eyes, once distant and painted, now have become an embodiment of her commanding strength, which the singer could not have imagined.
The lines "Dance for me in your beauty I'll drift away/Follow you down as you're spinning around for me" suggest that the performer's dance is no longer just physical, but it captures the singer's imagination and makes him forget about everything else. The latter part of the lyrics, where the singer claims to lose his lust, desire, and innocence, and throw them into the fire, hint that his experience watching the dancer's performance is transformative, albeit unclear into what.
In conclusion, Dance For The Lights lyrics step-by-step reflect the singer's hypnotic experience being drawn into a dancer's performance. The lyrics evoke the feeling of the artist's strange and alluring beauty, while also portraying the transformative and metamorphic effect of her art on the singer.
