In the Name of Dance
Dancing Through Rebellion: Unveiling the Youth's Odyssey
Lyrics
Don't talk to me me about wasted youth
Rejecting discussion about wasted youth
We've seen it all, yeah
Claiming experience and exposure to truth
We've seen the truth
Asserting the desire for a break
You wanna take a breather
Recognizing cleverness in others
We think that you are clever
Acknowledging someone's challenging situation
We know that you have been a little under the weather
Listing various elements of a wild lifestyle
The bitches
Detailing aspects of a hedonistic lifestyle
The parties
-The drugs and the bands
-The DJs
-The boozers
-The thugs and the lads
-The late night three-day benders
Describing intense party experiences
Pill pushing street vendors
-Skinny dipping, mushroom tripping
-Rave, trance, candy flipping
-They did it in the name of dance, yeah
Stating that these actions were done in the name of dance
They did it in the name of, yeah
-They did it in the name of dance, yeah
-They did it in the name of
-I'd be surprised
Expressing doubt about survival and living life
If we had to survive
-Will you be alive
-To live your life, yeah
-They did it in the name of
Reiterating that the actions were done in the name of dance
They did it in the name of
-They did it in the name of
-Dance
-They say that youth is wasted on the young
Commenting on the perceived recklessness of youth
They won't be done till they've had their fun
-You say you wanna chill
-You take another pill
-You know you're gonna do exactly what you will
-The bitches
Listing various elements of a wild lifestyle (repeated)
The parties
-The drugs and the bands
-The DJs
-The boozers
-The thugs and the lads
-The romance, pole dance
Describing risky behaviors with potential consequences
Driving drunk, smoking grass
-What the heck, train wreck
-Pretty soon you'll be dead
-They did it in the name of dance, yeah
Reiterating that these actions were done in the name of dance
They did it in the name of, yeah
-They did it in the name of dance
-They did it in the name of
-I'd be surprised
Expressing doubt about survival and living life (repeated)
If we had to survive
-Will you be alive
