Devotion
Ephemeral Dance of Emotions: Gary Numan's Musical Tapestry Unveiled
Lyrics
Charm up, strange down
There's an increase in charm or attractiveness while a decrease in feeling comfortable or familiar.
Old face, new sound.
There's a juxtaposition between an old appearance and a new, different sound or style.
Same kick, same pain
Despite changes, there's a continuation of the same excitement and suffering.
Same reason, same game so.
The same motives and strategies persist.
Dance, let's move.
Encouragement to dance and be active.
I can't dance, I can't sing
Expressing inability to dance or sing due to feeling too old and thin.
I'm too old, I'm too thin so?
Doubts about physical abilities and appearance.
Motion, I'm in love
Embracing motion or movement as a form of love but indicating it might be temporary.
One night's enough so.
Implying that a single night is sufficient.
Dance, let's move.
Encouragement to keep dancing and moving.
You can play
There's a possibility of engaging or participating.
You can lose
There's a chance of not succeeding or experiencing loss.
You can't win
The impossibility of achieving victory or success.
('I'm still looking for rhythm')
The quest for rhythm continues, perhaps indicating a search for balance or coherence.
You can choose
There's an ability to make choices despite constraints.
Move up, I don't like this motion
Expressing discomfort or dissatisfaction with the current movement or progress.
Move out, I don't like this feeling
Expressing a desire to depart or avoid a particular feeling or situation.
Move up, I don't need devotion
Declaring a lack of necessity for complete dedication or loyalty.
Move out, I don't need a reason.
Declaring independence from needing a specific cause or justification.
'And I'm still looking for the rhythm.'
Reiteration of the ongoing search for rhythm, highlighting its significance.
