Indak
The night is young,
the club is dark,
but my breath
and heartbeat stopped.
When my eyes saw
your body’s dancing prelude,
oh, I am captured
with no desire to elude.

So, sister, there will be dancing, right? Or will the narrator remain frozen? Either way, something extraordinary is happening.

LOL! I feel like that’s the same for a lot of people, like actors or singers. On stage, they look ethereal. Off stage, they’re just like anyone else.

HHAHAHA! That depends on the actor or the singer. I think Adam Levine is an exception. HAHAHA 😀
