So this is odd,
the painful realization that has all gone wrong.
And nobody cares at all,
and nobody cares at all.
So you buried all your lover's clothes
and burned the letters lover wrote,
but it doesn't make it any better.
Does it make it any better?
And the plaster dented from your fist
in the hall where you had your first kiss
reminds you that the memories will fade.
So this is strange,
our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance
where nobody leads at all,
where nobody leads at all.
And the picture frames are facing down
and the ringing from this empty sound
is deafening and keeping you from sleep.
And breathing is a foreign task
and thinking's just too much to ask
and you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights.
This is incredible.
Starving, insatiable,
yes, this is love for the first time.
Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.
Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?
Well this is the last time.

Review about The Brilliant Dance Hmm... | Reviewer: Beth | 7/5/09
I know there are a bunch of reviews like this already, but here goes. I just broke up with my boyfriend of 3 and a half years (first love). I'm very ready to move on, and I'm happy with the decision I suppose... but it's still hard. And how strange is it, to randomly turn on this song and have it belong in my life at this moment. And to see these reviews, and to realize that people everywhere are going through the same thing as I am. Ah, the incredible powers of music :)
None of you have actually reviewed the song one person rated it. Yeah the song is really well written like is majority of his stuff the thing that makes me bothered to write something is the notion of the brilliant dance in it self
"Our sidesteping has come to be a brilliant dance
Where nobody leads at all"
What a beautiful concept of two people moving at the same time, the same way with noone leading.
Before the trolls get to this post yeah I know its a sad line.
This song is brilliant. | Reviewer: Chelsea | 5/2/09
I love this song. It reminds me of my very first boyfriend. We were together for 5 years, from age 14 all the way until last year. Every time I hear this song it makes me think about how badly it hurt to let go of someone, and how I swore that I wasn't ever going to fall in love again. I'd always say the first was the last for me, but somehow I moved on. And the part that says:"And the plaster dented from your fist in the hall where you had you first kiss." takes me away to that first date. I think about how going back to that place after our break up seemed like a slow but sure way of killing myself, and now I can remember it fondly. It all got better in the last year and my ex and I still care about each other and love each other, but we're also over each other.
Great song | Reviewer: No Name | 11/14/08
this song is absolutely amazing. the lyrics are strong; they really make me think about my relationship with my ex and kindof, in a way, inspire me to let go-that the first love is the hardest, but all will be well in time(:
i love dashboard!

This song is amazing; it reminds me so much of what me and my ex went through and sums it up so perfectly. I get sad when I listen to this song, but it's an amazing song nonetheless(: I love Dashboardddd!

Im listening to this song right now.
I broke up with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago for another guy.
The other guy doesnt want to hurt me so me and him are just friends, and my ex still loves me but he has a new girlfriend and i dont want to get back together with him.
I guess im alone, its horrid, now im starting to cry because I realize everything is going wrong but this song makes me smile it reminds me that someday everything is going to be ok.

this song is just simply beautiful... the lyrics and the way it's written.
first time i heard this, it was barely a few days after i broke up with my bf of 4 years, i cried so much. it just hit me so hard.
This song is more powerful than most people think it is. This song actually makes me cry. With a past like mine, it brings back a flood of memories.
Awesome Song! | Reviewer: Megan | 7/21/04
I absolutely love Dashboard Confessional, and this is my favorite song by them. It is beautiful sung and played. The words all fit together like a dance, and they make so much since. Very good song. I would have to give it 4.5/5 stars.
