This is an original song that I wrote about being drawn to trying to find meaning in life through art, wondering where it's leading, or whether really we dance (both literally and metaphorically) just to enjoy the dance. I've never quite settled on a final structure, but this version is taken from a live performance on my twitch stream (March 7, 2024) where I looped several layers for this final performance. I really enjoyed just vibing and improvising the song and basically getting carried away "dancing in the art"! The video was edited by my wonderful mod Dagrathar and includes some scenes from the recording of the loop and a few images relating to the song. (Lyrics further down the description).
I perform live on twitch three times a week, be sure to follow me there and come say hi!

Dancing in the Art - Cerian (Live version - not final)
[CHORUS 1]
Are we just dancing in the art
Afraid of the dark
Writing songs and hoping
They'll fix it all
Are we just pulling life apart
Being drawn to the dark
Writing songs and hoping
I'll climb the wall
I can't climb at all
I can't climb at all
[CHORUS 2]
And oh, If I could know my place
Then oh, I wouldn't fall
I know that I will fall from grace
Every time you call
I can't fight at all
I can't fight at all
[CHORUS 1]
Are we just dancing in the art
Afraid of the dark
Writing songs and hoping
they'll fix it all
Are we just pulling life apart
Being drawn to the dark
Writing songs and hoping
I'll climb the wall
I can't climb at all
I can't climb at all
[VERSE]
Trapped in this hold
I’ll lose time till I'm old
If I seek to find
Will I find what I seek
‘Cause we're trapped in a plan
where we can't, but we can
Is the finding in the seeking what we need
[CHORUS 1]
When we're dancing in the art
Afraid of the dark
Writing songs and hoping
they'll fix it all
Are we just pulling life apart
I am drawn to the dark
Writing songs and hoping
I'll climb the wall
I can't climb at all
I can't climb at all
