Footloose
Breaking Free: Unleashing the Spirit of Footloose
Lyrics
Been working so hard
Expresses exhaustion from hard work
I'm punching my card
Symbolizes working regular hours and tracking time
Eight hours for what?
Questioning the purpose or reward for the hard work
Oh, tell me what I got
Asking for clarification on what has been achieved
I've got this feeling
Indicates a sensation or intuition
That time's just holding me down
Feeling restricted or confined by time
I'll hit the ceiling
Feeling close to reaching a breaking point
Or else I'll tear up this town
Expressing a desire for liberation or rebellion
Now I gotta cut loose
Expressing the need to break free and have fun
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Encouraging energetic, carefree behavior
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Seeking help or support from Louise
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Calling out for Jack's assistance to avoid a breakdown
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Encouraging others to release their inhibitions
You're playing so cool, obeying every rule
Describing someone as composed and rule-abiding
Deep way down in your heart
Referring to hidden desires or emotions
You're burning, yearning for the some-somebody to tell you
Longing for guidance or acknowledgment
That life ain't passing you by
Advising against letting life pass by unnoticed
I'm trying to tell you
Attempting to convey an important message
It will if you don't even try
Warning about missed opportunities without effort
You'll get by if you'd only cut loose
Assuring that freedom awaits if restrictions are lifted
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Reiterating the need to break free and have fun
Ooh-whee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Calling out to Marie for enthusiastic participation
Whoah, Milo come on, come on let's go
Encouraging action and movement
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Encouraging others to let go of their troubles
You got to turn me around
Asking for a change in direction or perspective
And put your feet on the ground
Requesting to ground oneself and gain stability
Gotta take the hold of all
Expressing the need to take control
I'm turning loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Reaffirming the desire for freedom and fun
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Seeking assistance from Louise again
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Asking Jack to act quickly to prevent a breakdown
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Encouraging others to let go of their worries
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Reiterating the call for carefree behavior
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Requesting help from Louise once more
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Urging Jack to act swiftly to avoid trouble
Lose your blues, everybody cut, everybody cut
Encouraging everyone to let loose and have fun
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Emphasizing the collective action of letting go
Everybody cut, everybody cut
-Everybody, everybody cut footloose
