Dancing in the Dark

Completing the triumvirate of song posts, the lyrics to Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark parallel my current existence rather acutely. Deconstruct at your leisure:

Dancing in the Dark
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
off the album Born in the U.S.A. (1984)

I get up in the evening,
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed, feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire,
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire,
even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer,
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror,
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere,
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere,
Baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire,
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby, this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town,
and they'll be carving you up alright.
They say you gotta stay hungry,
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action,
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book.
I need a love reaction,
Come on now baby, gimme just one look.

You can't start a fire, sitting 'round crying over a broken heart.
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
You can't start a fire, worrying about your little world falling apart.
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby

I could do without the copious "hey baby's" but yea. Not bad for a 23 old song.
