Dancing Dancing
Cyndi Grecco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fire flashes in your eyes and I love you more
Dancing with you makes me feel so good
Gets me feeling things inside, never thought I would
Chorus:
Is the way you move me, baby
Just for me, just for me
Set you free
Free with me, free with me, free with me
Let the madness of the music set us free
Magic, magic is what is like with you
I think I'm feeling joy again, can't believe it's true
Motion, motion, take me out of time
Come and help me to forget who and what was mine
Repeat Chorus
Sweet music, sweet music
Dancing, dancing (2x)
Music's going through me, going right through me
Nothing but music, sweet, sweet music
Music, music makes my body free
Show me that it does to you what it does to me
Dancing, dancing lets the good times stay
If I give it one more chance, love will find a way
Repeat Chorus
The lyrics to Cyndi Grecco's song "Dancing Dancing" suggest that the act of dancing has a transformative effect on the dancer. From the first verse, we see that the singer's partner is "dancing across the wood floor" with "fire flashes in [their] eyes." This image suggests a passionate and intense dance, one that makes the singer's love for their partner grow stronger. The verse ends with the singer describing how dancing with their partner makes them feel something they never thought they would feel. This could be interpreted as a sort of emotional opening, where the act of dancing allows them to feel things they have previously suppressed.
The chorus emphasizes the transformative power of dance, with the lyrics "Is the way you move me, baby/ Just for me, just for me/ Let the music set you free/ Set you free/ Free with me, free with me, free with me/ Let the madness of the music set us free." The repetition of "set you free" and "free with me" suggests that dancing has a freeing effect, allowing the singer and their partner to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the music and each other's company. The idea that the music is "madness" emphasizes the idea that dancing is a sort of escape from the mundanity of everyday life.
The second verse develops this idea further, with the singer describing how dancing with their partner is "magic" and makes them feel joy again. The lyrics "come and help me to forget who and what was mine" suggest that dancing is a way to escape from personal problems or emotional baggage. The repetition of the chorus provides a sort of mantra, reminding the listener of the transformative power of dance and the freedom it can provide.
