This Dance Is Loaded
Loaded Dance: Unraveling the Complex Tapestry of Self-destruction
Lyrics
An image problem, this is it
An acknowledgment of a problematic public perception or reputation.
We're gonna turn this dance on, with a switch
Expressing the intention to energize or activate a situation using a metaphorical switch.
For you nervous dudes who move in rewind
Addressing individuals who seem uncomfortable or awkward, possibly socially hesitant.
An image problem, is all we have
Reiteration of an existing perception issue, followed by a dismissive response to concern.
She said are you all right there? I just laughed
Describing a nonchalant reaction to a question about well-being.
I guess we really fucked up this time
Acknowledgment of a significant mistake or failure in the past.
So I have to remind myself
Expressing the need to remind oneself of something important.
It's so rare that we need somebody else
Highlighting the rarity of dependence on others for support or companionship.
We take care to be dangers to ourselves
Acknowledging self-destructive tendencies and risks taken without external influence.
And this dance might be all that we have left
Suggesting that the act of dancing may be the only remaining positive aspect.
The safety is off and it's loaded
Metaphorically indicating readiness for action, possibly with risks involved.
Did every girl you ever met, put a sex machine gun to your head
Posing a question about the effectiveness of sex appeal in contemporary society.
She said "Does sex still sell? Does sex still sell?"
Repeating the question, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of sex appeal.
An image problem, this is it
Reiteration of an existing perception issue, possibly emphasizing its significance.
We're gonna turn this dance on, with a switch
Repeating the intention to activate a situation using a metaphorical switch.
We're gonna turn this dance on, with a switch
Repeating the intention to turn on the dance, possibly emphasizing urgency.
We're gonna turn this dance on
Emphasizing the imminent activation of the dance.
It's so rare that we need somebody else
Reiterating the rarity of reliance on others for support or companionship.
It's so rare that we need somebody else
Repeating the acknowledgment of infrequent dependence on others.
It's so rare that we need somebody else
Emphasizing the rarity of needing external support or companionship.
We take care to be dangers to ourselves
Reiterating self-destructive tendencies and the risks taken independently.
And this dance might be all that we have left
Reiterating the significance of the dance as a remaining positive element.
But I don't know what her name is
Expressing uncertainty about the identity of someone significant.
Sex sells like a weapon that's loaded
Drawing a parallel between the selling power of sex and a loaded weapon.
and being pushed to our temples, oh
Describing a situation where external pressures are intense and imminent.
It's so rare that we need somebody else (x6)
Reiterating the rarity of dependence on others, possibly for emphasis.
Let's dance!
An invitation or encouragement to dance.
Well this dance is loaded!
Declaring that the dance is full of energy or excitement.
Yeah this dance is loaded!
Repeating the declaration of the dance being loaded with energy.
Yeah this dance is loaded!
