life is short on earth]
- I gaze through the looking glass [looking glass - an abstract or unusual way of thinking - she is being a philosopher now and she is probably fantasizing in a dreamy sort of way]
- And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven [She is stuck in the physical world. Heaven is so near, yet so far from her. She believes that death will release her from the darkness of the night. She is probably saying something like: "Should I commit suicide? No. I'll wait for my lover to rescue me" or something to that effect.]
[She is envisioning her death now as well as her romance with the one she loves.]
5.
- Sacred geometry [Consciousness theories - This is basically the beautiful order of the universe, etc]
- Where movement is poetry [The structure of life is full of beauty, hidden meanings and vibrant expressions just like poetry]
- Visions of you and me forever [She is now gaining spiritual insight through the beauty of the universe into the immortality that awaits her - she can live with the one she loves forever one day in perfect love and peace]
[She is taking comfort in nature because it seems to suggest that there really is an afterlife and that it must be wonderful.]
Chorus
6.
- Dance me into the night [She is asking him again to share his life with her]
- Underneath the full moon shining so bright [FULL moon => Her romantic feelings and love for him are growing (very passionate)]
- Let the dark waltz begin [Their earthly romance in fact hasn't even started yet even though she has been harping on about it for so long. Yes. I was also shocked. How long has she been singing about this guy and they haven't even started dancing yet! She has already been dreaming about her eternal love for him after death. She sounds depressed and possibly suicidal at this point so I doubt she is actually talking to this guy. Probably just sitting in a dark forest singing to herself like some emo maiden. Don't get me wrong. I love this song, else i wouldn't be writing about it, but you must admit that this girl needs to get off her butt and go confess already and then book herself into therapy.]
7.
- Oh let me wheel, let me spin [impatience, she wants him to be with her, she wants to be free of her body as well (physical) - she is wanting to die methinks. She can't decide. She's losing herself in her passion for death and love.]
- Let it take me again [it = love, romance and possibly death (she wishes to go back to her spiritual form and also she want to lose herself in her earthly passion - sort of the same thing according to her)]
- Turning me into the light [After the dance of life she will become a part of the pure love of the universe and will be able to love fully]
//There is a few spiritual enlightenment metaphors in this song. The song seems to dwell on the burdens of the physical world. The woman is feeling hope that through death she will find the pure love and peace that she seeks. She also wishes to experience the love and passion of this world with someone so that she does not succumb to loneliness possibly and she looks forward to the greater love she can share with this person after death. She seems to jump the gun though as she hasn't even confessed to him it seems (unless this song counts as a confession, but why should she say it so often unless he refused her and she is having a mental breakdown). Perhaps she is just a dreamer. Shame :)">

DARK WALTZ [I think the title of the song can be translated as: "A romantic dance of life with the one I love".
We are the lucky ones [They are lucky because they will change after death and be able to love one another more purely (heaven or w/e)]
We shine like a thousand suns [great spiritual love]
When all of the color runs together [The colors of the rainbow make up a beam of light - physics 101. She is saying that when her hope is fulfilled she will experience a great love (after death).]
[Basically when they die they will feel a love that surpasses the love they have now - she is dreaming of the afterlife together with a guy she likes]
2.
I'll keep you company [She is imagining being with the one she loves after death. He will not be lonely because she will be there to keep him company.]
In one glorious harmony [beauty, love and peace after death]
Waltzing with destiny forever [immortality - being together with her loved one for eternity]
[She is basically envisioning the afterlife with the one she is in love with still]
3.
Dance me into the night [physical world, she doesn't want to be left alone and is asking him to be with her in this life on Earth]
Underneath the moon shining so bright [moon might represent the love of this world - she loves him basically, but it's a dim love compared to what awaits them after death. Also a very romantic and idealized love]
Turning me into the light [Death (the turn) brings a great spiritual love for her. The dance of life will end in death basically and that will lead to the light]
[She is in the earthly world now. The first two verses were only dreams. Now she wishes to perform the "dark waltz of life" with the one she loves. She is asking him whether he will accept her as his "dancing partner" (lover). Either that, or she is talking to herself and is not courageous enough to confess to him.]
4.
Time dancers whirling past [ as opposed to timeless dancers => life is short on earth]
I gaze through the looking glass [looking glass - an abstract or unusual way of thinking - she is being a philosopher now and she is probably fantasizing in a dreamy sort of way]
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven [She is stuck in the physical world. Heaven is so near, yet so far from her. She believes that death will release her from the darkness of the night. She is probably saying something like: "Should I commit suicide? No. I'll wait for my lover to rescue me" or something to that effect.]
