Dancing In The Dark
The Four Lads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends,
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here,
Time hurries by, we're here and gone;
Looking for the light of a new love,
To brighten up the night, I have you love,
And we can face the music together,
The Four Lads's Dancing in the Dark is a beautiful ballad that explores dancing in the dark until the tune ends. The lyrics depict two lovers enjoying waltzing while wondering about their existence. They find solace in each other's company and the hope of finding a new love that can brighten up their lives. The song also highlights the passage of time that hurries by, leaving them here in this moment, dancing in the dark.
The theme of dancing in the dark reflects the inner turmoil of the human condition – man's search for meaning in a chaotic world. The waltz symbolizes the journey of the human spirit on a quest for knowledge, understanding and happiness. The lyrics suggest that in a world full of darkness and uncertainty, two people can find joy in each other's embrace and the hope of a brighter tomorrow. The word "wonder" in the third line signifies the mystery of life, its beauty, and its preciousness. The line "Time hurries by, we're here and gone" evokes a sense of fleetingness, a reminder that life is short and soon it too will come to an end.
