Lyrics
You go out tonight
You are encouraged to go out tonight.
But don't show them your scars
Hide the emotional wounds or difficulties you've faced.
You go out tonight
A repetition of the encouragement to go out tonight.
Head up your local bars
Confidently face the local bars or challenges in your life.
You go out with them
Socialize with others.
Be sure to put on your disguise
Wear a metaphorical disguise to mask vulnerabilities.
You go out with them
Continue socializing with others.
You look them in the eyes
Look people in the eyes, indicating strength and confidence.
You're not that foolish little girl
Reminding oneself not to be naive or easily fooled.
They know you used to be
Awareness that others are aware of your past.
You're an independant woman
Emphasis on being an independent woman standing strong.
Standing on two feet
Asserting independence and stability.
And they will see...
Anticipation that others will recognize these qualities.
But don't you show them
Repetition of the warning not to reveal vulnerabilities.
Don't you show them
Strong emphasis on not showing emotional wounds.
Don't you show them
-Your scars
Avoid displaying scars or past pain to others.
You go out with them
Continue socializing, specifically through dancing.
Dance until your feet go numb
Dance energetically until physical exhaustion.
You go out with them
Socializing for the purpose of enjoyment and relief.
For some much needed fun
Success or victory achieved through this social experience.
Then you'll have won the war
As long as vulnerabilities are not revealed.
Aslong as you don't show
Warning not to expose certain sides or aspects of oneself.
Show the sides of you
Avoid revealing hidden facets to others.
You don't want them to know
Protecting private information or personal struggles.
You're not that foolish little girl
Reiteration of self-awareness and caution.
They know you used to be
Acknowledging that others are aware of the past.
You're an independant woman
Emphasizing continued independence and strength.
Standing on two feet
Reiteration of standing independently.
And they will see...
Anticipation that others will recognize these qualities.
But don't you show them
Strong emphasis on not revealing emotional wounds.
Don't you show them
-Don't you show them
-Your scars
Avoid exposing scars or past pain.
Oh I'll go out tonight
Personal commitment to go out without revealing vulnerabilities.
I won't show them my scars
Reiteration of not showing emotional scars.
I'll go out tonight head up my local bars
Commitment to face challenges with confidence.
I will dance with them
Engaging in social activities, particularly dancing.
Dance until my feet go numb
Dancing until exhaustion for enjoyment and relief.
I don't need a guise
Expressing authenticity without the need for a disguise.
I'll be who I've become
Being true to oneself and embracing personal growth.
I'm not that foolish little girl
Asserting independence, aware of past vulnerabilities.
I know you used to be
Self-awareness of personal growth and distance from the past.
I'm a million miles
Significant progress made from the previous self.
From my former me
Distant from the past and former self by a considerable distance.
And they will see...
Expectation that others will recognize personal growth.
I have come this
Expressing pride in the achieved distance or progress.
I have come this
-I have come this far...
Reiteration of the substantial progress made.
