It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's dare, ah
It's dare
You've got to press it on you
You just think it
That's what you do, baby
Hold it down, there
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
And feel like you were there yourself
Work it out
Never did no harm
Never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's dare, ah
It's dare
You've got to press it on you
You just think it
That's what you do, baby
Hold it down, there
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
And feel like you were there yourself
Work it out
Never did no harm
Never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up

The lyrics of ⇑Gorillaz's song "Dare" can be interpreted in a few ways. The song seems to be about being uninhibited and living your life without fear of judgement or consequences. The repetitive choruses of "It's coming up" and "It's dare" could symbolize a sort of excitement or temptation that the singer is feeling. They are being urged to take risks and do what feels right, even if it goes against the norm. The lines "You've got to press it on you" and "You just think it, that's what you do" could be interpreted as an encouragement to trust your instincts and not overthink things.
The chorus of "Never did no harm" could also be seen as a reassurance that taking risks won't necessarily have negative consequences, and that it's better to have lived fully and taken chances than to have always played it safe. The lines "Jump with them all and move it, jump back and forth, and feel like you were there yourself, work it out" could be a call to actively participate in life and engage with those around you, even if it seems uncomfortable at first.
Overall, the song seems to be a message about embracing life and taking risks, rather than being held back by fear or social norms. The upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a popular song that encourages people to let go and have fun.
