Killing Me Now
Dance of Desire: Horace Greene's Enchanting Melody
Lyrics
How do you get down so good?
Questioning how someone dances so well.
Whippin it back and then breaking it loose like you do
Describing the skillful movement and freedom in dancing.
Hands up you turned up now turn yourself in
Encouraging someone to embrace their energy but also be responsible.
Like dancing and singing is all that you give
Suggesting that dancing and singing are the primary expressions the person gives.
But this feeling I did not expect...
Expressing surprise or unpredictability about a particular feeling.
It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
Feeling an intense urge to join in dancing despite the overwhelming feeling it causes.
It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
-Stunning in motion, it must be your one true love
Complimenting the person's graceful movement.
Out of your mind like you've got to be drugged
Comparing the person's behavior to someone under the influence of drugs.
Strung out, I need just enough to survive
Describing a desperate need for something to cope or survive.
My heart, something has got me this time
Expressing that the heart or emotions are deeply affected this time.
And this feeling I cannot control
Conveying a lack of control over a specific feeling.
It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
Reiterating the intense desire to participate in dancing despite the internal struggle.
It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
-And I said baby
Addressing someone affectionately.
I love the way you move your heels
Admiring the way the person moves.
Baby
Repeating the affectionate address.
I wanna feel what you feel
Expressing a desire to empathize with the person's emotions.
I wanna feel what you feel
Reiterating the desire to understand the person's emotions.
It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
Continuing to feel the overwhelming urge to join in dancing despite its impact.
It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
-It's killing me now I think I got to get on the floor
-It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me now
Stressing the intensity of the feeling, implying it's almost unbearable.
