Actually, I'm always thinking that this song is more about vampires than anything else when I hear it. Makes me think of a Castlevania movie or the like.
"We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all the colors run together"
Kind of hints at the whole immortality mind set. Also, it brings the idea of seduction through imagery.
"I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever"
Again, this brings to mind the idea of seduction and immortality, as if things are never going to end.
"Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light"
More than anything, this is what makes me think of a vampiristic nature in the song. The notion of dancing in the night underneath a full moon is the biggest reasoning for my thoughts when hearing the song. The full moon not only signifies the idea that the "Dark Waltz" is something attractive, but oddly sinister as well.
"Time dances whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven"
Another part of the song which makes me heavily lean towards a vampiristic nature in the song. The never ending passing of time and the inability, no matter how hard you try, to reach Heaven suggests an undead state.
"Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever"
This is more a reference to the movements of the dance, but the latter part hints once again at immortality or a never ending state.
"Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel - let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light"
All in all, I believe the song to lean at something sinister yet attractive at the same time. I'm not into the whole "vampire scene", whatever it is called, but that is the vision I get when I listen to the song.
I think of a person's love who has been turned into a vampire, without their knowledge, and they stumble upon them in a ballroom. Not knowing what has happened, the person embraces their love, who begins to sing this song seductively, almost as a hint, and they begin to dance. At the end, they are both now vampires.
