This song plays with themes of Sleeping Beauty and enchantment but it can be taken further - to ideas of eternal recurrence, resurrection from the dead and the power of sublimated desire searching for the eternal feminine...all happening on the dance floor, or in the virtual discotheque of your mind.
Gotta love the Ace of Base. There is haunting melancholy in their lyrics, and depth to their songs under a seemingly superficial surface. Very Nietzschean - but also Christian...in a Nordic sort of way.
