Hearing is causing emotional distress or dissatisfaction.

Is getting me down to the disco floor

The dissatisfaction with hearing leads to a negative impact on the experience of the disco floor.

Hearing is wearing me down

All those evenings

Reflecting on past experiences, particularly evenings spent in disappointment on dancefloors.

All led to now and learned one day

I wanna get more from this than you

Sometimes I'll put up with it, alright

Occasionally, the speaker is willing to tolerate or endure the dissatisfaction.

But I can't even dance the way I might

Were it just me and you tonight
