Dancing Shoes
Dance Into Desires: Arctic Monkeys' Magnetic Melody Unveiled
Lyrics
Get on your dancing shoes
Encouragement to start dancing.
There's one thing on your mind
Focus on a particular thought or desire.
Hoping they're looking for you
Hope that others notice and approach you.
Sure you'll be rummaging through
Confident anticipation of finding something.
Oh and the shit, shock, the horror
Expressing surprise or disbelief.
You've seen your future bride
Reference to a potential future spouse.
Yeah, but it's oh so absurd
Acknowledgment of the absurdity in a situation.
For you to say the first word
Reluctance to initiate conversation.
So you're waiting and waiting and
Implying a prolonged period of waiting.
The only reason that you came
Stating the primary motive for being present.
So what you scared for
Questioning the need for fear.
Oh, don't you always do the same
Noting a habitual behavior.
It's what you there for, don't you know
Highlighting the purpose of being there.
The lights are flashing
Describing a lively atmosphere with lights.
Down in here tonight
Setting the scene for the night.
And some might exchange a glance
Suggesting subtle interactions among people.
But keep pretending to dance
Pretending to dance while avoiding engagement.
Don't act like it's not happening
Addressing the reality of the situation.
As if it's impolite
Commenting on the social dynamics.
To go and mention your name
Discouraging mentioning one's name directly.
Instead you'll just do the same
Suggesting conformity to expected behavior.
As they all do, and hope for the best
Adopting the common approach and hoping for the best.
The only reason that you came
Reiterating the main reason for attending.
So what you scared for
Raising the question of fear again.
Well don't you always do the same
Highlighting a consistent pattern of behavior.
It's what you're there for but no
Reaffirming the purpose of being there.
Get on your dancing shoes
Repeat of the earlier encouragement to dance.
You sexy little swine
Playful compliment, possibly to someone attractive.
Hoping they're looking for you
Reiteration of the hope for attention.
Sure you'll be rummaging through
Confident anticipation of finding something, repeated.
And I said the shit, shock, horror
Repetition of surprise or disbelief.
You've seen your future bride, yeah
Recalling the image of a potential future spouse.
Yeah, but it's oh so absurd
Restating the absurdity of initiating conversation.
For you to say the first word
Reiteration of reluctance to speak first.
So you're waiting and waiting
Emphasizing the ongoing waiting.
