The Rumour Said Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A restless jaw repeating my last words
I'm in love with your grace, my tired girl
I'm surprised by the fact that you are in this world
Red light on me again
There are fingers on my forehead's curve
Let the music begin, they say in twirl
And the night on their skin, a screaming birth
And the colorus of red on your shoe
And they read from their books and change the words
Into comfortable lines understood
Red light on me again
A restless jaw repeating my last words
I can see by the frown in your face, girl
You're OK with the fact that death is in this world
The Rumour Said Fire's "Dance" begins with the singer experiencing a red light on them once again, as their jaw restlessly repeats their last words. Despite this, they express their love for someone's grace, calling them their tired girl. They then express surprise that this person is even in the world. The fingers on their forehead's curve signal the start of the music, causing their eyelids to flutter. The night on their skin and colors of red on the girl's shoe evoke imagery of passion and intensity. The people around them read from their books, changing words into comfortable lines that are easily understood.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that death is in this world, but the girl seems okay with it. The repetition of the red light symbolizes a moment of pause, as if the singer is taking a moment to reflect on the intensity of their feelings for this girl. The restless jaw and repeated words suggest a sense of nervousness or anxiety, which fits with the song's title - "Dance" - as dancing often involves a certain amount of vulnerability or risk-taking.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dance" suggest a sense of hesitation mixed with a desire to fully embrace the moment, as the singer considers the complexity of love and the inevitability of death.

Everybody saw you through the window
They saw colors drip from your eyes
And later that night we caught you dancing with yourself And tortured souls fell down from the skies
Down the stairs waiting for your friends to
pick up all the stuff you have gathered through
the years and never meant to buy
Further down you got lost in cellars with your ugly friend
waiting for the moment to say: "Nothing stays the same!"
So we dance and we dance and we dance to the music in here
I feel alive, I feel alive!
And everybody saw us making love to our future selves
They saw colors drip from our bones
Everybody saw you through the window
They saw colors drip from your eyes
And later that night we crossed the point of no return
And nothing stayed the same
Down the stairs waiting for your friends to
pick up all the stuff you have gathered through
the years and never meant to buy
Further down you got lost in cellars -
watch the worms survive eating all your fingers
screaming: "Nothing stays the same!"
So dance hard and wear all your skin in a beautiful charade
So come on dance hard and wear all your skin
in the colors of blue and pink
Dance hard and wear all your skin
in the treason of your decay
If you dance so hard and wear all your skin there's no Bible in your hand!
So come on, dance hard and wear all your skin
in the treason of me - in the treason of your skin!

You know, I really like this music. When I hear it, I want it inside my body, as if it were my blood. Yes, I'm a bit crazy.
I met it because of another band from Denmark, Cody, do you know it, Cody? It is amazing too.
In the future, I will travel to Denmark to be part of the audience of a show by these two bands. It will be incredible.
Hugs from Brazil!
