Dance With Me
3 Feet Smaller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or I swear to god, I'll knock you fucking teeth out/
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate you/
Cuz that would mean that I feel something about you/
Die, your life's useless anyway
come on, do it, slit your arteries
you don't love me, you're in love with a picture
so print my pic on your double xl t-shirt
You don't even know my real name
Dance with me/in your fantasy
But in reality leave me be
living your life must be damn hard
when illusions are all that you've got
no friends, no hope, no fucker, it sucks to be you/
give your fancy full scope, what you
already do
You think you know but you have no idea
dance with me/in your fantasy
but in reality leave me be
I wont keep you, from talking shit about me
but I hope you know, no one believes a word
you say
I'm not the father of you kid no
cuz I would never let my dick feel you
fuck you, cuz no one else does
maybe your look, could be the cause
if you died, if you died tomorrow
no one of us would be at your funeral
The lyrics to 3 Feet Smaller's song "Dance With Me" speak of an individual who is being pursued by someone who is essentially obsessed with them. The singer is frustrated with this person, as they do not even know their real name and are only in love with a picture of them. The lyrics indicate that the individual pursuing them is living in an illusion and has no real friends, hope or prospects in life.
The singer of the song seems to be encouraging this individual to commit suicide, stating that their life is useless and they should slit their arteries. They also say that they will not keep the individual from talking badly about them, but that no one will believe them because of their obsession. The lyrics are harsh and aggressive, and the message seems to be that the individual should leave the singer alone and focus on their own life instead of obsessing over someone who does not reciprocate their feelings.
Overall, "Dance With Me" is a commentary on the dangers of obsession and the impact it can have on both the person who is obsessed and the target of their fixation. The lyrics are raw and powerful, calling attention to the destructive nature of obsession and the need for individuals to maintain perspective and focus on their own lives.
