The Rolling Stones - dancing in the light

화자는 어둠 속에서 고통받으며 상대방은 밝게 빛나고 있어 대조적인 감정을 느낀다
상대의 성공에 질투와 상실감을 느끼며, 자신의 처지를 비관적으로 묘사한다
이 노래는 과거의 관계가 주었던 행복과 현재의 우울함을 대비하며 감정의 소용돌이를 그린다

I'm sitting in the darkness, you're dancing in the light
You really hit the big time, I really took a dive
I'm running in the rain, you're dancing in the light
I'm waiting for the train that never will arrive
You left me twisting in the wind, dangling in the night
You'll be Mr. Christian and I'll be Captain Bligh
Look at you with your face all shining, got some new work and some realigning
Now that your nose got some redefining, you look like a million bucks
I got a sinking feeling, you and your wheeling-dealing
I'm going to hit the ceiling, bang the ground with a bump
My whole world is crashing, I took a violent thrashing
Something to throw the trash in, I'm in the garbage dump
What'd I ever do? You treat me so bad
You're living in a penthouse, my flat is dark and damp
Yeah, what's the matter, baby? We used to be so tight
I'm living in the gloom, while you're dancing in the light
Yeah, I got that sinking feeling, whose potatoes are you peeling?
Can't you hear my poor heart squealing? I'm in the garbage dump
Yeah, ah what's happening?
Yeah
