That song points to the profound loneliness most people feel as they suffer without true friendships, without people in their lives who can be with them when they can't dance. The song creates an inversion which is why you noticed it, Clifford, and a particularly personal one at that where the sound and beat of the music compells one to dance freely as the lyrics speak of a life of confined suffering. At a time when inversions are constant and everywhere we look, it's true, we must dance...and fall to the floor when someone we love is down.
We make normal whatever we want it to be at any given time. Burning witches at the stake was normal at one point. Crucifixions too. Eating potatos was for peasants and rich, fashionable men wore wigs and high heels. We are indeed absurd. It's in our nature.
