Ben Liebrand Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We wasted so many truths
That we depend
On getting by
Another lie
On every other thing that dies
And as his voice beckons out
I hear the end
The end of trauma slowly setting in

My body seems to stop and freeze
Stop
Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop breathing
Imagine none of this is real
Imagine none of this is real
Well I just dance the way I feel
Well I just dance the way I feel
Well I just dance the way I feel
A simple crowd makes a movement on my space
I'm lashing out
I'm crashing down
On all the people in my way
I'm banning all of these ??? from this place
This place is ruined been affected
After all the time I paid
Stop
Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop breathing
Imagine none of this is real
Imagine none of this is real
Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop
Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop
Well I just dance the way I feel
Moving on to someone else
You're always open with yourself
But no one
I talk to no one
Always falling short of help
I choose to take this by myself
And go
And I just go
Stop
Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop breathing
Imagine none of this real
Imagine none of this real
Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop

Stop
Well I just dance the way I feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ben Liebrand / Sascha Liebrand's song Dance the Way I Feel can be interpreted as the struggle to deal with the harsh realities of life. The first few lines suggest that the singers have been deceiving themselves by relying on lies to get by in life. The reference to 'every other thing that dies' hints at the transience of all things, which can be a source of trauma when one realizes this truth. When the voice beckons out, it could signify an external force that is forcing the singers to confront this truth, which causes their body to stop and freeze.

However, the singers choose to deal with the trauma by dancing their way out of it. Dancing is seen as a way of expressing oneself and forgetting about the harsh realities of life, even if it's just for a few moments. The reference to banning all the people from the space suggests that the singers are trying to create their own safe haven where they can dance and forget about their troubles.

Moving on to the second verse, the lyrics suggest that the singers are dealing with their problems on their own. They choose to take it upon themselves and go, suggesting that they are not relying on anyone else to help them through their struggles. The repeated line of 'I just dance the way I feel' emphasizes the importance of expressing oneself, even if it's just through dance.

Overall, the song's lyrics suggest the importance of acknowledging the harsh realities of life but also finding a way to deal with them that works for the individual.

Our dependence on the lies we have told has made us weak

On getting by
We have relied on just getting through each day without addressing the underlying issues

Another lie
We continue to feed into the cycle of dishonesty and deception

On every other thing that dies
We are constantly lying about things that are no longer relevant or have already ended

And as his voice beckons out
As his voice is heard calling out

I hear the end
I am aware that this is the end of something

The end of trauma slowly setting in
The end of the painful experiences is slowly starting to become a reality

My body seems to stop and freeze
My body feels like it is unable to move as I process this realization

Stop
I need to stop and take a moment to collect myself

Imagine none of this is real
I wish that what is happening is not actually happening

A simple crowd makes a movement on my space
The people around me are creating a commotion that is affecting me

I'm lashing out
I am reacting with anger and frustration

But it seems like no one else is as open and honest

I choose to keep my feelings to myself and have no one to confide in

Always falling short of help
I never seem to get the support I need

I choose to take this by myself
I am choosing to handle this situation on my own

And go
And move on from this situation

Stop
I need to stop and take a moment to collect myself

Stop breathing
I am overwhelmed and need to take a break to breathe and calm down

Imagine none of this real
I am wishing that what is happening is not actually happening

Stop
I need to stop and take a moment to collect myself

Well I just dance the way I feel
I choose to deal with my emotions by expressing them through dance
