"Stolen Dance" strikes me as a complex song, which could mean many things. At first sight, it's simply a love story, where the narrator can't live without his second half, constantly "needs [her] by [his] side" and "feels lonely" if deprived of her presence. But then several questions arise. Who are the people, who were kind at first but separated the two lovers later? And why shouldn't they "talk about it"? Amongst the interpretations I read here, I found the drug one most convincing, but it is my personal opinion. What justifies it, is the word "stoned", whose meaning is sometimes drug-related. I also have my own interpretation, but you might not agree with me. The love between the narrator and "her" could be a criminal one, in case she is not eighteen yet, for instance. In which case, the aforementioned people could be the girl's parents or even his own ones. Age is just one possible interpretation. There could be more. But developing the first one, the narrator could even be criminally obsessed with children, and this would make the unclear lyrics of the song clearer. If the girl speaks about what they do together (I doubt the "dancing" in the song should be taken literally), he'll go to court and will probably never see her again. Something in the narrator's voice, when he sings about his separation tells me that it is not pure love he is experiencing. But I'm painting everything in dark colors, it seems. Of course, the song could be something a lot more positive (not a whole lot though, considering the narrator's sufferings) and the drug interpretation (the first one) sounds as reasonable. |
