V.I.T.R.I.O.L. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It stings to count to three and look to see a hand up on your waist.
But he holds you like he should.
Graceful, gliding, glimpse of lover's kiss.
Another round of ale, and I don't believe this.
Movements of a demigod.
We're caught in a waltz, and I hope we dance forever.
A dream from which I'll never part.
He whispers in your ear.
From what I see, it turns you on, sends shivers down your back,
Like the violin runs.
Graceful, gliding, glimpse of lover's touch.
I can dance with my gloves on, I think this has gone far enough.
Watch your steps and count to three.
Stare across the room with careful scrutiny.
Assess the situation.
Proof is what it needs, to show that I'm a man.
I know just what I want,
And have the liquid confidence to show her what I've got.
The man that never cared,
That never bottled up and hid from all the feelings that he had,
And all the things he never did.
I stop my slurring speech and expect the best reply.
"Will you dance before the night ends, just one more time?"
Adrenaline, the confirmation, losing to the charm, in my arms.
The lyrics of V.I.T.R.I.O.L.'s song "Waltz" are a poetic description of a scene where the singer is watching his loved one dance with another man at a party, while he is struggling with the effects of alcohol. The first line, "liquor burns my tongue," shows that the singer has had too much to drink and is now struggling to remain in control. As he watches his loved one dance with another man, he feels a mix of jealousy, admiration, and desperation. He can see that the man is holding her in a way that he should, and that the two of them are dancing gracefully and perfectly to the rhythm of the music. The singer is lost in the moment, caught up in the beauty of the dance, and hopes that it will never end.
The second paragraph of the lyrics shows the singer trying to regain his composure, to assess the situation rationally, and to muster the courage to ask his loved one to dance. He wants to show her that he is a man who knows what he wants and has the "liquid confidence" to go after it. He struggles to express his feelings coherently, but he knows that he wants to dance with her before the night ends, even if it's just one more time. In the end, he succumbs to the charm of the dance and loses himself in the embrace of his loved one.
Overall, "Waltz" is a poignant reflection on the power of love and dance to transport us beyond our everyday concerns and into a world of grace and beauty. The lyrics capture the mix of emotions that can arise in the context of love and desire, and they do so in a way that is both vivid and lyrical.
