Dancing with Myself
Boomtang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or down in London town to go-go
With the record selection
And the mirrors reflection
I'm a dancing with myself
When there's no one else in sight
In the crowd and lonely night
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing myself
Oh oh, oh oh
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh ohhh, oh
Oh oh, oh ohhhh
Oh oh, oh ohhhhhaaaawwww!
(gitar solo)
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
Oww!
dancing with myself
dancing with myself
dancing with myself
dancing with myself
(bass and guitar solo)
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
Oh oh oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
Oww!
The song "Dancing With Myself" by Boomtang is about a person who is alone and trying to find some way to feel connected to the world. The lyrics describe the singer's experiences in different cities, dancing alone in Tokyo or down in London town to go-go. The lyrics suggest the reason for their loneliness is because they cannot find someone who shares their love of music and dancing.
The singer finds solace in dancing, which is reflected in the chorus where they repeatedly sing the line "dancing with myself." They talk about waiting for their love vibration, which could be interpreted as waiting for a partner who shares the same love for dancing and music.
The song also touches on the idea of feeling invisible to others. The singer talks about looking all over the world, but their empty eyes seem to pass them by. This could indicate that despite being surrounded by people, they feel unseen and disconnected, leading them to return to the comfort of dancing alone.
Overall, "Dancing With Myself" is a song about finding oneself in times of loneliness through music and dance.

I'm in this music video. I'm the girl with the red dot. I won a contest from YTV to be in this video. I was originally supposed to have a small part but when I came on the set, they liked my look and made me the lead.
