Lyrics
Once again I’ve put myself at the mercy of a man
Putting oneself at the mercy of a man, expressing vulnerability and reliance.
Gave up my soul wrapped in a body to be held in your hands
Surrendering one's soul in a physical form to be held by another person.
If I get smaller
Questioning if becoming smaller will make one more noticeable or appreciated by the person.
Will I be seen by you?
Seeking visibility and recognition from the person by diminishing oneself.
If I get bigger
Contemplating whether increasing in size will provide safety or distance from the person.
Will I be safe from you?
Exploring the idea that growing may act as a shield or protection.
Once again I’ve put myself at the mercy of a man
Repeating the theme of vulnerability, putting trust in a man once again.
And it's so comfortable here as I dance and do all I can
Expressing comfort in the vulnerability, enjoying the dance despite potential risks.
Just to keep you looking at me
Performing actions to captivate and maintain the attention of the person.
Just to keep you from looking right through me
Desiring not to be overlooked or transparent to the person.
Cause this is enough to keep me calm
Suggesting that the current situation is sufficient to maintain a sense of calm.
And this is enough to keep me soft
Finding contentment in the present circumstances to stay emotionally tender.
I spin and I fall intoxicated
Describing a state of intoxication, possibly from the dance or the emotions involved.
It's only enough for a dream
Acknowledging that the current situation is only enough for a dream, implying it might not be sustainable or real.
Last night I stared too long at a girl with a face like an escape
Describing a fascination with a girl who symbolizes an escape from reality.
Stumbled through bodies blindly as if I had something I could say
Moving through a crowd without a clear purpose, possibly reflecting confusion or lack of direction.
In my dreams I see her
Seeing the girl in dreams, indicating a preoccupation with this idealized figure.
It seems her eyes
Suggesting that the girl's eyes hold knowledge or understanding beyond the speaker's grasp.
Know something I don't
Highlighting a sense of mystery or hidden depth associated with the girl.
Cause this is enough to keep me calm
Reiterating that the current situation is enough to maintain a sense of calm.
And this is enough to keep me soft
Emphasizing the emotional softness retained in the current state.
I spin and I fall intoxicated
Describing a state of intoxication and falling, possibly representing emotional highs and lows.
It's only enough for a dream
Repeating that the current situation is only sufficient for a dream, reinforcing a sense of transience or unreality.
