Okay I haven’t seen a comment like this yet so imma say this.
She starts out in all white around a bunch of people in all black. They’re all hurting, and she’s like a beacon of light. She helps them through their problems and offers a helping hand. At the end, however, you see through the “perfect facade” she puts on and see that she’s hurting too.
Moral of the video, everyone has fears. Everyone’s hurting. Even the happiest people have problems, so be kind.

The message to make your fears and darkness art is powerful. It took me years to learn to make the suffering I went through as a victim of bullying, neglect and abuse into something positive not just for others but for myself as well. Making fear into a positive experience helps me handle my PTSD big time

I think my interpretation for this music video is about Au/Ra's literal fears running around and dancing around her, slowly increasing in numbers as it clouds over. She stands in the middle, singing the song to further imply that she is trying to console herself with her fears. This can be shown in the video where she is the only person in the music video with a white outfit, while the others wear black outfits. The people in black outfits seemed to begin to circle around her, staring her every move, while she stands motionless. This could be an illustration of people experiencing so many fears and insecurities at the same time without anyone noticing, as it is in the mind most of the time.
I think in the end, that's where Au/Ra really became part of the fear that she was surrounded in the beginning. The song could be shown to be just a (pep-talk?) or motivational talk to calm the fears down, but it evidently fails as she whispers in the end, signalling that the thought is slowly fading and disappearing. In the end, she accepts her fears as part of her, and she now dances with her fears, accepting herself in the process, hence dancing in the dark.
okay this might not be true but anyone reading this have a good day regardless :)
