What's in a name?

Hi friends,

People have often asked me what does the name 'Dance with the bulls' exactly mean and to be perfectly honest when I created this blog it honestly just popped into my mind so I could never exactly explain it but as I got older I started putting my own meaning to the name..

To me, Dance with the Bulls means to find the good in hardship.No matter what you are going through or what you are struggling with there will always be a silver lining.

The song Tokyo(Vampires and Wolves) by The Wombats illustrates what I mean with the name of this blog but to the point where this song is waiting for the silver lining.


In particular, these lyrics:

If you love me let me go

Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast


The importance of 'Dance with the Bulls'as a never was never as big as it is to me now because I feel like it is the core of my soul and beliefs in a statement.

Comment and let me know what 'Dance with the Bulls' means to you.
