Dancing with the Dead Lyrics
I can still hear their laughter echo
And the taste of blood in my mouth
How much more can you ask for
You know I already died once before
Can not give away anymore
It's getting to the point where I want nothing at all
Everything I see just burns my eyes
Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
You got me right where you want me
And it's creeping down my spine
All I wanted was nothing
Why don't you step aside
I don't wanna give away anymore
It's getting to the point where I want nothing all
It's scary and twisting my mind
I can not hide
Dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much is never enough
Too much is never enough
I've been dancing with the dead
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough
Dancing with the dead
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough
And the taste of blood in my mouth
How much more can you ask for
You know I already died once before
It's getting to the point where I want nothing at all
Everything I see just burns my eyes
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
And it's creeping down my spine
All I wanted was nothing
Why don't you step aside
It's getting to the point where I want nothing all
It's scary and twisting my mind
I can not hide
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much is never enough
Too much is never enough
I don't want to remember but I cannot forget
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
Fear was all that was left when everything turned black
Dancing with the dead
Because too much was never enough
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough
I've been dancing with the dead
Dancing with the dead
It's never enough

I love the dark, gloomy lyrics by Peter Tägtgren. This is another masterpiece.
Like many of his songs, I believe this one is about drugs. Dancing with the dead I think can be interpreted as "Flirting with death" or "living on the borderline to death".
Also, the chorus goes "Too much was never enough". The more you take, the more you want, and you can never get enough even though you know it's bad for you.
A good interpretation, but Peter actually stated that he wrote this as a song about when his heart stopped during the recording of Dancing with the dead.
