Dancing With Myself

I was recently listening to one of my favorite Cd's - Billy Idol's Story Teller - his "unplugged" album a few years ago recorded from VH1. I'm a big Billy Idol fan way to to his Generation X days and I really love his classics done acoustically. Everything sounds better acoustic (I believe)
What struck me today however was probably not the intent behind his hit Dancing With Myself - I kind of took a mystical bent and began to meditate on that phrase - dancing with myself. At first thought it can seem romantically rejectional (my word) or perhaps selfish in a sense. I've never studied the words (just enjoyed the song) but today, just the title - dancing with myself - took my on a bit of an inner journey. In a sense we are all dancing with ourselves. We are dancing molecules, formless, made (by thought) to appear in given form. And larger still we dance within the beat and frame work of the uni-verse - the one song of creation that plays in constant rhythm. And further still the role of dancing is to merge in space until a union of rhythm is achieved - we are seeking to become one upon the dance floor (or as legally close as we are allowed) From the smallest to the largest sense we really are dancing with ourselves because there is no one else to dance with - union isn't achieved - it is - and there can be nothing else but the dance of creation.
Who knew Billy Idol was a mystic?
