Ballerina Out of Control Lyrics
Her world came crashing down
And all that it contained
A million pieces of dreams
Coming apart at the seams
But she twists and she whirls
Dismissing it aa away,
Wasn't quite the same as it was
Yesterday
Her night begins the day
Why think when we can play
"I find it so hard to find,
A certain dress of that kind"
As she twists and she whirls
And she dances it all away,
The problems persist, they won't
Go away
She twists and she whirls
Dancing it all away,
Would rather see the night
Than the reason of the day
I find it so hard to find
Any reason to this kind
And all that it contained
A million pieces of dreams
Coming apart at the seams
But she twists and she whirls
Dismissing it aa away,
Wasn't quite the same as it was
Yesterday
Her night begins the day
Why think when we can play
"I find it so hard to find,
A certain dress of that kind"
As she twists and she whirls
And she dances it all away,
The problems persist, they won't
Go away
She twists and she whirls
Dancing it all away,
Would rather see the night
Than the reason of the day
I find it so hard to find
Any reason to this kind

"The problems persist, they won't go away." "Why think when we can play?"
In my opinion, she doesn't persevere; she just doesn't deal with her turmoil. She drifts/dances off into her own world that she alone understands. It's the only way she knows how to not fall apart when things go to pieces.
It's really more about the denial of one's problems and not necessarily about whether or not she perseveres. This ballerina has problems, but dances along as if there is no problem.
The wonderful song explains of the extremely challenging situation with a love interest who is over focused on her desire for physical beauty and wealth and fame and a positive recognition of her by all in the world who she truly feels are most important in the type of life she desires. Unfortunately she does not give herself the opportunity with anyone not part of the world she desires…
@jeff100587 it's a tough situation, right? balancing those desires with the deeper things we all crave deep down...

The lyrics are a little on the...oh the heck with it, I love this song, and I love this band.
I think its fairly literal she perseveres through something, and through that she reaches what she considers bliss
Schelzel said in a recent interview that it was about a girl in a ballerina dress dancing at a Nitzer Ebb concert.

That is hilarious. I always like his honesty. It has this ethereal, otherworldly feel to it; sweet and gentle. I can see some girl twirling around at a Nitzer Ebb concert
