Dance Inside
AAR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't have to speak
Lips for biting
You're staring me down
A glance makes me weak
Eyes for striking
Now I'm twisting up when
Brush so lightly
And time trickles down
And I'm breathing for two
Squeeze so tightly
I'll be fine, you'll be fine
This moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
We'll dance inside the song
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
She sinks in my mind as she sheds through her skin
Touch sight tastes like fire
Hands do now what eyes no longer defend
Hands to fuel desire
I'll be fine, you'll be fine
This moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
We'll dance inside the song
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah)
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah)
And I'll be fine, you'll be fine
Is this fine? I'm not fine
Give me pieces, give me things to stay awake (to stay awake)
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
Move down to me, slip into you
The lyrics to AAR's "Dance Inside" seem to describe a passionate and electrifying love affair. The first verse sets the scene with the singer describing how their partner's look and touch can make them weak and breathless. The second verse includes a reference to the physical sensations of touch, sight, and taste, suggesting that the physical passion between the two is intense. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency, as the lyrics repeatedly encourage not wasting precious time and dancing inside the song.
The chorus presents a question, "what makes the one to shake you down?" indicating that there may be external forces that try to bring the relationship down. However, this question is followed by a reassurance that each touch belongs to each new sound and that the pair will remain connected despite external distractions. The bridge emphasizes the singer's desire to continue the passion and stay awake, even if it means piecing together what is left.
The entire song plays on the themes of physical passion, staying present in the moment, and the idea that external forces will try to take away the joy of the relationship. Overall, the song is about the thrill and intensity of being lost in love.

Touch sight tastes like fire
All my senses are heightened around her
Hands do now what eyes no longer defend
My hands are doing what my eyes normally wouldn't allow
Hands to fuel desire
Our touches are sparking desire

Even though it seems okay, I'm really not okay
Give me pieces, give me things to stay awake (to stay awake)
I need something to keep me mentally stimulated

Lyrics
You don't have to move, you don't have to speak
Lips follow biting.
You're staring me down, a glance makes me weak
Eyes follow striking
Now I'm twisting up when I'm twisted with you
Brush so lightly
And time trickles down, and I'm breathing for two
Squeeze so tightly.
I'll be fine, you'll be fine.
This moment seems so long
Don't waste new, precious time
We'll dance inside the song
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
She sinks in my mind as she sheds through her skin
Touch like taste like fire
Hands to know what I no longer defend
Hands to fuel desire
I'll be fine, you'll be fine
This moment seems so long
Don't waste new, precious time
We'll dance inside the song
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah [Repeat: x 2]
And I'll be fine, you'll be fine
Is this fine? I'm not fine
Give me pieces, give me things to stay awake (stay awake)
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you
What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you

2022 and still listening to this song. I still remember seeing them in concert when I was 13 years old along with Fall Out Boy. I was a huge Fall Out Boy fan and after hearing AAR perform...I immediately shifted to them. They were amazing live 💙 This song always stuck with me and I'm almost 30 now
