Rip It Up
Dancefloor Revelations: Unraveling the Emotion Behind Razorlight's 'Rip It Up'
Lyrics
Hey girl, get on the dancefloor
Invitation to a girl to join the dancefloor
And rip it up, yeah
Encouragement to energetically enjoy the dance
That's what it's there for
Highlighting the purpose of the dancefloor
That's what it's there for
Reiteration of the purpose of the dancefloor
So rip it up, yeah
Reinforcing the idea of enjoying the dance
Ah rip it up and tear it up
Emphasis on tearing up the dancefloor
Until you really don't know why
Encouragement to dance without overthinking
Until you don't know why
Reiteration of losing oneself in the dance
I seen a man there
Observation of a man with too many reservations
Down at the station
Location of the man at the station
He's got a head of ideas
Description of the man's ideas
Has just too many reservations
Reference to the man's hesitations
It turns me round, yeah
Expressing the impact of the situation
It breaks my heart, yeah
Emotional response to the situation
It rips me up and tears me up
Intensifying emotions due to the situation
You know I really don't know why
Expressing confusion about the situation
You know I don't know why
Reiteration of confusion
She says love is the law
Quoting someone saying love is the guiding principle
Why don't you come round no more?
Questioning why the person doesn't visit anymore
She says I loved you so much more
Stating that love was more significant in the past
When you were down on the floor
Recalling a time when the person was vulnerable
I said well well
Expression of indifference or dismissal
That ain't nothing
Minimizing the significance of a situation
You got to rip it up
Encouragement to energize or liven up the atmosphere
You got to pick a stitch
Suggesting the need for a change or improvement
And turn me round, yeah
Encouragement to turn around a situation
And break my heart, yeah
Expressing emotional impact of the situation
And rip me up and tear me up
Intensifying emotions due to the situation
You know I really don't know why
Expressing confusion about the situation
I really don't know why
Reiteration of confusion
Hey girl, get on the dance floor
Repeating the invitation to a girl to dance
Just like I told you
Reiterating the purpose of the dancefloor
That's what it's there for
Reiteration of the purpose of the dancefloor
That's what it's there for
-So rip it up, yeah
Encouragement to energetically enjoy the dance
Ah rip it up and tear it up
Emphasis on tearing up the dancefloor
Until you really don't know why
Encouragement to dance without overthinking
Until you don't know why
Reiteration of losing oneself in the dance
So rip it up, yeah
Reinforcing the idea of enjoying the dance
And tear it up. yeah
Emphasis on tearing up the dancefloor
And just please don't stop
Urging to continue the energetic dance
And rip it up
Reiteration of the encouragement to tear up the dancefloor
