Let's dance
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's dance to the song they're playing on the radio
Let's sway while colour lights up your face
Let's sway sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance for fear your grace should fall
Let's dance for fear tonight is all
Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance to the song they're playing on the radio
Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
The lyrics to Atrocity's song Let's Dance capture the feeling of letting go and living in the moment. The first verse encourages the listener to put on their red shoes, which is a nod to David Bowie's song "Let's Dance." The song's upbeat rhythm is emphasized by the repetition of "Let's dance" and "dance the blues," which creates a sense of urgency to move and let loose. The mention of "the song they're playing on the radio" also suggests a connection to a broader audience and the desire to share the moment with others.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to describe the act of swaying through a crowd, creating a sense of intimacy and connection between the two people dancing. The imagery of the "colour lights" illuminating their faces and the empty space they move through create a physical manifestation of the emotional freedom they experience while dancing. The lyrics also suggest a willingness to follow each other's lead ("If you say run, I'll run with you; If you say hide, we'll hide"), emphasizing a deep trust and surrender between the partners.
The final verse brings the song full circle, returning to the idea that dancing is an act of fearlessness and abandon ("Let's dance for fear tonight is all"). The repetition of "let's sway" is a comforting assurance that the partners will be there for each other, even if they fall apart. The final line, "this serious moonlight," is another nod to Bowie's song and suggests a continuity in the celebration of life and love through dance. Overall, the lyrics to "Let's Dance" capture the joy and lightness that can be found in letting go and embracing the present moment, even in the face of fear and uncertainty.

Let's forget our sorrows and dance with all our might
Let's dance to the song they're playing on the radio

Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's connect emotionally as we move
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
Let's dance together under the romantic moonlight
