DANCE CRAZE
BOØWY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is a law Of the eJungle
Fall in step with me
And take off
your high heeled sandals
Move while the music's loud
Hear my motor starting up
oo we gotta loose this crowd
Dance away your troubles
Dance away your worries
Dance away your sorrow
Like there'll never
be no tomorrow
Dance crazecc
If you don't move
(Your soul) out of the groove
(Don't just)talk the talk
You gotta walk the walk
If you don't move
(Your soul) out of the groove
(Don't just)talk the talk
You gotta walk the walk
Dance crazecc
In BOøWY's song "Dance Craze," the lyrics evoke a sense of freedom and escape through dancing. The opening lines "Swing if you're in the trees / It is a law of the eJungle" establish a wild, uninhibited atmosphere where anything goes. The following lines "Fall in step with me / And take off your high heeled sandals" suggest shedding societal expectations and embracing a more primal instinct. The repetition of "dance away your troubles / dance away your worries / dance away your sorrow" reinforces the idea of dance as a form of release.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of not just talking about dancing, but actually getting up and moving. The repetition of "if you don't move (your soul) out of the groove / (don't just) talk the talk / you gotta walk the walk" is a call to action, urging the listener to let go of inhibitions and fully immerse themselves in the music.
Overall, "Dance Craze" can be seen as a celebration of the power of dance to lift the spirit and free the soul.
