Something True
Love's Hopeless Dance: Roller Derby's Something True
Lyrics
Let me say something true
Expressing a desire to convey something genuine or honest.
I might seem strong and focused
Appearing strong and focused outwardly.
But I'm absolutely hopeless
Acknowledging a sense of inner vulnerability and lack of confidence.
When it comes to you
Admitting difficulty or struggle when dealing with the subject of the lyrics.
Laisse-moi dire la vérité
Repeating the desire to express honesty, now in French ("Let me say the truth").
J'ai l'air fort et décidé
Presenting a facade of strength and determination in French.
Mais je suis absolument sans espoir
Contrasting the external appearance with an admission of hopelessness in French.
Quand il s'agit de toi
Reiterating the struggle and vulnerability in dealing with the subject.
Let me say something true
Repeating the plea to express sincerity or truthfulness.
I might seem strong and stable
Maintaining a strong and stable outward appearance.
But it's absolutely painful
Highlighting the pain experienced when the subject is absent.
When you're gone
Expressing a specific emotional response to the absence of the subject.
And I laugh, and I cry, and I frown, and I smile
Describing a range of emotional reactions (laughing, crying, frowning, smiling).
I fall for you every night
Declaring a nightly emotional commitment or attraction to the subject.
I fall for you every night
Reiterating the nightly emotional commitment to the subject.
Et je pleure et je ris et je doute et souris
Repeating the emotional reactions in French, emphasizing a deep emotional connection.
I fall for you every night
Reaffirming the nightly falling for the subject in the face of emotional experiences.
I fall for you every night
Expressing continued emotional commitment to the subject every night.
Je tombe sur toi toutes les nuits
Stating the emotional commitment to the subject in French.
Je tombe sur toi toutes les nuits
Reiterating the emotional commitment in French.
Fall for you every night

Until the stars shine bright
Expressing a commitment to the subject until the stars shine bright.
