The Twist
Dancing with Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Wintersleep's 'The Twist'
Lyrics
Do the twist in the twisting outfit
Inviting someone to dance in a fashionable or distinctive outfit
The loose tie with, the loose limp wrists
Describing a relaxed appearance with a loose tie and wrists
Lift your dress enough to show me those shins
Suggesting a flirtatious act, revealing lower legs
Let your hair stick to your forehead
Asking someone to let their hair stay messy or stick to their forehead
Did you blush then when our lips touched?
Questioning if blushing occurred during a kiss
I can't tell, we are already red
Commenting on both individuals being flushed or red
Am I right? Will you give me the signs
Asking for confirmation of mutual attraction
Is that pink mist or just lit dry ice?
Questioning if what's observed is a romantic atmosphere or simply theatrical
You twist and whisper the wrong name
Noting a mistake in whispering the wrong name while dancing
I don't care and nor do my ears
Expressing indifference to the mistake
Twist yourself around me
Requesting physical closeness through twisting
I need company, I need human heat
Expressing a need for companionship and warmth
I need human heat
Reiterating the need for human warmth
Lets pretend I'm attractive and then
Suggesting pretending to be attractive to make the interaction comfortable
You won't mind, we can twist for a while
Assuring that enjoying the dance won't cause discomfort
It's the night, I can be who you like
Offering freedom to be someone else during the night
I'll quietly leave before it gets light
Planning to leave quietly before daybreak
You twist and whisper the wrong name
Repeating the earlier mistake of whispering the wrong name
I don't care and nor do my ears
Reiterating indifference to the mistake
Twist yourself around me
Repeating the desire for physical closeness
I need company, I need human heat
Expressing the need for company and warmth
I need human heat
Reiterating the need for human warmth
I need human heat
Emphasizing the need for human warmth and closeness
(Extra super very, ha ha extra super very, ha ha extra super very, ha ha extra super very)
(Repetitive, possibly emphasizing the intensity of the need for warmth)
I need human heat
(Repetition, emphasizing the need for human warmth)
I need human heat
(Repetition, reiterating the need for human warmth)
Twist and whisper the right name
Correcting the earlier mistake by whispering the right name
I'm Dave, if you please
Introducing oneself as Dave
The twist, the twist is you're just like me
Implying similarity between the individuals
You need company, you need human heat
Acknowledging mutual need for companionship and warmth
You need human heat
Reiterating the need for human warmth
Human heat
Emphasizing the need for human warmth
You need human heat
Reiterating the need for human warmth
You need human heat
Repeating the need for human warmth
