about

Why yes, this title is a reference to Troll 2.

This track is about how I try to take that next step in a relationship, try to lead, and usually fail. Brutally. And I like dancing.

It starts off happy and melodic, and as the situation of the lyrics start to turn dark, so does the music.

lyrics

Candelabrum grace these old walls
Soft light cascades,
Across the corridors
I take your hand
And begin
To lead so gently down
The hallway
Casting the shadows, everlong
Oh, let me lead
Let me be strong

How I wish
To be everything
You need
Oh, I know
I'll never be

My hands
Always lose touch
With those that I love
And care for so

All good things
Must have an ending
I have lost
My steady footing
Spiral down the staircase
No banister,
There's no safety

I guess down here we will
Dance forever
I guess down here we will
Dance alright

We will dance!

We walk in line
And we dance in
Perfect time
We separate
All love from grace

Oh, how we dance!
