DANCE FOR ME!
fern. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a little hit from this
Or you can feel it on my lips
Show me how you move
Love me 'til you lose
It's something you cannot miss baby

Find it harder to be calm
Only love you when I'm gone
Don't feel safe with anyone
Drugs don't make you feel so numb
Why you never felt like home
Took two pills, I'm in the zone
Love me harder til I fall
Can't feel anything at all

Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby
But you'll never be mine like that baby
Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby
But you'll never be mine like that

I got something for you here
Golden eyes, wont you use it
They offer their bodies, but I crave their souls
I say that you need me but I need you more
Give me a part of you

Lover tell me what to do
For this life I wish to lose
All these substance I abuse
Got me hopeless and confused
Watch me suffer on my own
Is it something that I've shown
All these women that I chose
You're the one I need the most

Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby
But you'll never be mine like that baby
Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby
But you'll never be mine like that

Wish that you had known just how much pain this
Life I live has caused me to, see you right through
Suffocating faces all around me
That I can't seem to undo, I need you to
Help me, I'm in hell,
Can't seem to give away my love just like you do, the way you do
Suffocating faces all around me
That I can't seem to undo, I need you to

Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby





Dance for me, baby
Dance for me, baby

The final lines "Suffocating faces all around me, That I can't seem to undo, I need you to" could be interpreted as a plea for help, a desire to escape the loneliness and isolation that addiction and mental health struggles can bring.
