Dancing in the Dark

Dreamt Dad brought his gf to a party I held at my mom's house.
Mom was asleep in her bedroom, she woke up and came in, and I managed to head her off so she didn't see that Dad had a girlfriend. Doesn't take a lot of interpreting.. 
I also realized last night, that somehow, God knows how, I manifested bitch, and the whole thing that happened with Ex.  Not in the sense that it was my 'fault', but in some deeper esoteric sense, I did. 
I think I am finally starting to heal and let go of Ex. It was his 50th birthday recently, and I let that go with no email to wish him a happy birthday. I wanted to, but what's the point. I AM far better off without him, and it's taken the better part of 2 years for me to realize that.  Better late than never.

Also woke up later on with Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark in my head.  I hate that song. Interesting lyrics though..

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby...
