Chinese Zodiac sign: Dragon
 

INTRO
In the midsummer night a fire’s lit in your eyes
This pitter patter in my chest hurts me inside
The more I hesitate the greater the burn becomes
Your heat stimulates and our bodies would move as one
I want us to be more than just my imagination
(That was all my imagination)
 

VERSE
The flame between us flickers in the midsummer, summer (night)
You make my heart wonder why we can’t be like the others (lies)
Best friends chained to a secret longing that we’ve kept under lock
Maybe this time we’ll break out of design, outside of our box

I tried to contain this fire to protect what we have
But my heart’s set ablaze in rage and now I must take this chance
The second I grasp your hand I surrender to the truth
“I want us to be more”, I wish to be taken by you
 

PRE-CHORUS
Sun rays penetrate through the mist of our past
Now I’m clearly yours as together we dance
We dance, dance, dance
 

CHORUS
In the rain
Lips lock and we won’t hesitate
Unlocked desire of yesterdays
This burning fever you fulfil
As we dance we unleash the rain
My guard drops and we create
A rainbow of passionate craze
We dance, dance, dance
No matter what the world may say
We dance, dance, dance
In the rain
 

POST-CHORUS
A myriad of flowers grow
Inside of me a strength is known
I declare all of me
To be with you and complete
Finally
 

BRIDGE
The air is electric in the aftermath of our union
This may be criminal but all I feel is liberation
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
Our wildfire has been doused but the smoke now smothers
Without any chance of doubt my feelings have been answered
I risked all of what we had for this madness I can’t define
Hopefully this lasts forever than just one midsummer night
I won’t forget this one midsummer night
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
 

PRE-CHORUS
Sun rays penetrate through the mist of our past
Now I’m clearly yours as together we dance
We dance, dance, dance
 

CHORUS
In the rain
Lips lock and we won’t hesitate
Unlocked desire of yesterdays
This burning fever you fulfil
As we dance we unleash the rain
My guard drops and we create
A rainbow of passionate craze
We dance
No matter what the world may say
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain
 

You and I dancing in the rain

 

Lips lock and we won’t hesitate
Unlocked desire of yesterdays
This burning fever you fulfil
As we dance we unleash the rain
My guard drops and we create
A rainbow of passionate craze
We dance, dance, dance
No matter what the world may say
We dance, dance, dance
In the rain
 

POST-CHORUS
A myriad of flowers grow
Inside of me a strength is known
I declare all of me
To be with you and complete
Finally
Finally
 

OUTRO
In a flicker you vanished, you said you felt embarrassed
But to me we were magic, more than what could be imagined
I could never quite forget the beauty of the rain
When I was dancing in love with my one true flame
I was loved and deserted, now a drought has flourished
Now the flowers don’t grow, each grain of sand looks the same
But I don’t regret anything cause now I know what hurt is
I can finally be who I am, not tomorrow, today

 

Years later my heart still dances in the rhythm that we made
This pitter patter in my chest is now a hurricane
I close my eyes for a second and then I hear you say:
“I wish to dance with you once again in the rain”

EXPLANATION
‘Dance in the Rain’ is inspired by my Chinese zodiac sign, the Dragon. I found out that in Chinese culture dragons are believed to be summoners of the rain and that the Chinese tradition of the Dragon Dance comes from wanting to summon the rain for crops etc in times of famine and drought. Rainmaking ritual dances involving dragons are very common as part of Chinese tradition. The Dragon is said to have characteristics of “taking risks”, “courage” and “tenacity” which are traits I incorporated into my song. People with the Dragon zodiac sign may also find themselves “hesitating to move forward in a relationship and/or unwilling to make a permanent commitment” but “When they do, however, it is their intention for it to last.”, which is demonstrated by the person in my song.
 
My song this week is mainly about unrequited love between two best friends and the risk/courage that comes with confessing your love, since there is a risk that you may lose your best friend by confessing if the relationship does not end well. My song incorporates some implied homosexual themes, which I thought would be fitting since it’s obviously Pride Month :gaycat: The contrast between heat and rain is also used to symbolise sexual intercourse. The sun symbolises how their love is now brought to light and no longer hidden in the “mist” - it’s no longer unrequited due to the confession. The heat symbolises the passion between them. The dancing is basically them having sex which unleashes the rain, due to the sex being a raindance. The rain symbolises the pleasure felt by them - a release from the heat, i.e. liberation. As a result, a rainbow is created. Due to the sun and rain being present, the flowers grow representing new beginnings and “fertility”, another Dragon trait. There’s a lot more symbolism I could explain and many other interpretations (like always, mess) but I’d be serving a Corsola review if I explained all of them so ffff basically all of this symbolises how nature is now in harmony because now they’re together.

 For me unrequited love between two best friends shares some parallels with homosexual love, such as the inability or perhaps fear of expressing that love. In my song, however, the person overcomes that inner and social fear. This demonstrates the person’s tenacity developed over time and their courage to take a risk on love.

“In the search for the ideal partner, dragons might find themselves often hesitating to move forward in a relationship and/or unwilling to make a permanent commitment. When they do, however, it is their intention for it to last.”
“Gifted with innate courage, tenacity and intelligence, dragons are enthusiastic and confident. They are not afraid of challenges, and willing to take risks.”
https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-zodiac/dragon.htm

 “In China, dragons are closely associated with rain and drought is thought to be caused by a dragon's laziness. Prayers invoking dragons to bring rain are common in Chinese texts. The Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals, attributed to the Han dynasty scholar Dong Zhongshu, proscribes making clay figurines of dragons during a time of drought and having young men and boys pace and dance among the figurines in order to encourage the dragons to bring rain. Rainmaking rituals invoking dragons are still very common in many Chinese villages, where each village has its own god said to bring rain and many of these gods are dragons. According to these stories, every body of water is ruled by dragon king, each with a different power, rank, and ability, so people began establishing temples across the countryside dedicated to these figures.

“The snakes eventually matured into five powerful dragons. In Chinese culture, dragons are considered spirits of water, and have the power to control the weather; during a drought, therefore, Wen Shi asked her dragon children to summon the rain for her village. When rain came and ended the drought, the grateful villagers gave Wen Shi the name "Mother of Dragons" (龍母) or "Divine Human" (神人).”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longmu

 

"In fifth place was the flying Dragon. The Jade Emperor was wondering why such a swift airborne creature such as the Dragon failed to come in first.

The Dragon explained that it had to stop by a village and brought rain for all the people, and therefore it was held back. Then, on its way to the finish, it saw the helpless Rabbit clinging onto a log so it did a good deed and gave a puff of breath to the poor creature so that it could land on the shore. The Jade Emperor was astonished of the Dragon's good nature, and it was named as the fifth animal."

Life is a box, very much like Pandora's, that we all trap ourselves in - the four walls.

 

4 walls.

 

f(x). 

 

We smother ourselves with the dusk, feeling like dirt as our souls become dust in the dark. We forget the fire, the light within us keeping us alive and burning us so deeply inside. We forget that we can open the lid of this box to another world. To a realm of freedom... we imprison our minds.

 

Be the box. Open the box. Run free outside the box. Remember the box. Remember who you are. Look around at all the chaos.

Look inside the box. You see the hope. You hold it and care for it like a newborn baby. It is you.

Be the box.

Open the box.

Run free outside the box.

Remember the box. Remember who you are.

And remember who you can and will be.

VERSE
If I could speak to you, I wonder what you’d say
I wonder if it’s true that one day you’ll fade away
The world as I know it, in all of its glory
In a flash it may only exist as yesterday

 

Our footsteps are all over you, we’re like parasites
We feed on what you offer, we take without surprise
I wish we could give back to you, I wish I could try
I wish I could speak to you to know if you’re alive
 

PRE-CHORUS
In every whisper of the wind I hear your voice
And as a thousand birds sing I feel your joy
Please let this tune last forever beyond my years
So when I leave I may remember what life is
 

CHORUS
As I’m meditating in your arms
Your embrace fills my eyes with stars
And I see the world as it should be
Not as a black-and-white movie
You’re still our only source of life
Even as we kill you over time
Your beauty is wrecked and burned away
Yet you still give us the sunrise

 

VERSE
My mentality shifted one morning in the spring
I had to be saved, the child was battling within
So I let my ego burst, I let all of your love in
I let go of all my trauma that I cursed you with

 

Now as I connect to your surface, my surroundings
I feel their disconnect, how they resort to fighting
I hear you crying as your everything is destroyed
But you still give yourself to us, you don’t have a choice
 

PRE-CHORUS
In every whisper of the wind I hear your voice
And as a thousand birds sing I feel your joy
Please let this tune last forever beyond my years
So when I leave I may remember what life is
 

CHORUS
As I’m meditating in your arms
Your embrace fills my eyes with stars
And I see the world as it should be
Not as a black-and-white movie
You’re still our only source of life
Even as we kill you over time
Your beauty is wrecked and burned away
Yet you still give us the sunrise
 

BRIDGE
Even when you’re set on fire, fire
You keep spinning with a strong desire
Even when you weep in winter, winter
Each tear forms the greatest rivers, rivers

And as your hurt cascades, I can feel it all
I can feel your love in all of your warmth
I’m drowning in a strength I’ve never known
In all of the chaos I’ve found my home
 

CHORUS
As I’m meditating in your arms
Your embrace fills my eyes with stars
And I see the world as it should be
Not as a black-and-white movie
You’re still our only source of life
Even as we kill you over time
Your beauty is wrecked and burned away
Yet you still give us the sunrise
