Better Off Dancing
Liberation in Motion: Better Off Dancing Away
Lyrics
Going out alone tonight
Expressing the decision to go out alone tonight.
And I don't even care
Indicating a lack of concern or indifference about being alone.
I've got an endless appetite
Conveying a strong and insatiable desire for something.
And something's in the air
Suggesting a heightened awareness of a change in the atmosphere.
I'm taking a lead away from you
Taking initiative and distancing oneself from someone.
I know what to do
Expressing confidence and knowledge about what needs to be done.
You don't have to show me how to move
Rejecting the need for guidance in movement or action.
Get out of my way, get out of my life
Asserting the need for independence and asking others to step aside.
I'm better off dancing, dancing
Declaring a preference for dancing as a form of self-expression.
And all I want is something new
Expressing a desire for novelty and change.
I'm better off dancing without you
Stating that dancing is more enjoyable without a specific person.
I can't hear a word you say
Ignoring or being indifferent to what someone is saying.
And I don't even care
Disregarding written communication from someone.
I'm throwing all your notes away
Rejecting any attempts to stop the actions taken.
Stop me if you dare
Challenging others to intervene if they dare.
I'm taking a lead away from you
Continuing to distance oneself from someone.
I know what to do
Reiterating self-assurance and knowledge of appropriate actions.
You don't have to show me how to move
Emphasizing independence in movement.
Get out of my way, get out of my life
Insisting on the need for others to move aside.
I'm better off dancing, dancing
Reaffirming the preference for dancing as a personal choice.
And all I want is something new
Expressing a desire for something different and new.
I'm better off dancing without you
Emphasizing the enjoyment of dancing without a specific person.
I don't wanna stop, I can't be controlled
Declaring a refusal to stop and a resistance to control.
(Can't be controlled)
Reiterating the inability to be controlled.
I'm moving up and you're getting old
Highlighting personal growth and advancement over time.
(You're getting old)
Pointing out the aging or stagnation of someone else.
At the end of the last song
Referring to a moment after a performance or event.
When all the lights come on
Describing the end of an event with the lights coming on.
And everybody's gone
Noting the departure of others, but the speaker continues dancing.
I'll still be dancing
Asserting a commitment to continue dancing despite circumstances.
I'm better off dancing
Reiterating the belief that the speaker is better off dancing.
I'm better off dancing without you
Emphasizing the enjoyment of dancing without a specific person.
I'm better off dancing

And all I want is something new
