Belouis Some Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Belouis Some's song "Some People" is about contrasting people who dance with passion and those who dance for fun. The opening line "Some people dance cheek to cheek, some people dance" introduces this dichotomy. The song reflects on a time when life was simpler and everything seemed like playtime. The singer reminisces about a great time that he had with someone who made everything "easy."
In the next stanza, the singer acknowledges that his lover's passionate nature is not like his own, but he doesn't mind. However, he admits that he tries not to talk too fast like he did when he fell in love. He recognizes that some people are tied to their emotions, while others understand their dreams. The final stanza conveys that the singer is taking his lover somewhere different and that only he can see the change. Again, he emphasizes that some people are tied to their emotions while others understand their dreams.
The repetition of the lines "Some people dance cheek to cheek, some people dance" emphasizes how different people dance for different reasons. The use of the phrase "life was so simple then" evokes a nostalgic tone, and it's clear that the singer is reminiscing about a time when things were easier.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet reflection on the complexity of human emotions and the different reasons why people dance.
