Cellar Darling - DANCE Lyrics

Cellar Darling Lyrics

"DANCE"

Woe drowns out the silence
Now free as heathens
Around in circles do the torn ones dance

Gara amun ian a friar...

Led by rhythmic motion
The lucid withers
Rupturing, the walls of every man
High beyond the mother, circling avians
Gracefully inciting one last trance

Gara amun ian a friar...

Choreomania, slaying the ever
Sheer oblivion, conquering delirium
Oh, the broken, dancing forever
Won't atone it

(Slay) slaying the ever
(Lay) with whomever
(Love) like no other
(Dance) now or never

Day after night, night after day they faint away
Unwillingly their limbs are raised towards the sky

Gara amun ian a friar...

Choreomania, slaying the ever
Sheer oblivion, conquering delirium
Oh, the broken, dancing forever
Won't atone it

Chorea Lasciva...

Cellar Darling told about the story behind "DANCE" upon its release on the 8th of January 2021, "We have never put so much work into one piece of music before. [...] As you might have guessed, 'DANCE' originated in the sessions for our concept album 'The Spell.' It was supposed to be another chapter of our story about a girl who falls in love with death, but the song ultimately didn't make the cut. It wouldn't quite leave us alone either, so about one year ago, we decided to dig it up and give it another go. [...] inspiration came from two sources: the dancing plague of 1518, which is a fascinating story in itself, and an engagement with our contemporary world: doesn't it sometimes feel like we're in the process of dancing ourselves to death?"

There was a version of this song released directly from the band in a strictly limited vinyl-only picture disc.
