Lost
Dance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am lost
Need a god
Somewhere to go when it's all over
I am blind
Give me eyes
Kaleidoscope the world in color

Don't have time to meditate the meaning of the rain
Synchronize our memories til we all think same way

'Cause I get lost
Need a god
Help me put my world in order

I don't wanna know the truth
(I conceive a better way to lie)
I just need feel secure again
(The witnesses evaded)
Codify my wasted youth
(Everywhere I look I feel the weight)
So I don't feel this meaningless again
(So wait it out now)

Tickle my animal instincts, survive
Capable, sociable subject, I'm part of the pack

I know a guy, somewhere
Whose got a guy
From town, who knows a guy
From around, whose gotta die

We crave a greater existence, survive
Attainable, modified purpose
I'm part of the pack

I know a guy, somewhere
Whose got a guy
From town, who knows a guy
From around, whose gotta die
I know a guy, somewhere
Whose got a guy
From town, who knows a guy
From around, whose gotta die
Citizen of the world

I called my sister's cousin, uncle, friend
Made sure to trust them time and time again

I am lost
Need a god
Somewhere to go when it's all over
I am blind
Give me eyes
Kaleidoscope the world in color

Don't have time to meditate the meaning of the rain
Synchronize our memories til we all think same way
'Cause I get lost
Need a god
Help me put my world in order

Oh no, he said a bad word
We should burn him at the stake
Desecrate his name
Spit on him from high horses
Exaggerate the shame
He's ignorant and vulgar
So evil we can tell
He'll surely rot in hell
A homophobic sociopath, a menace to us all

He'll take the fall

The group is never ending
The group grew from decay
The group is darkness, father
Heaven selected the truth as pain

The fall

The group is never ending
The group grew from decay




The group is darkness, father
Heaven selected the truth as pain

Overall Meaning

The song “Lost” by Dance’s features lyrics that evoke feelings of being lost and searching for guidance. The song is multi-layered in its meaning, but on the surface, it appears to be about feeling lost and searching for answers. The first stanza talks about needing a god and a place to go when it’s all over. The use of metaphors in “I am blind, give me eyes, kaleidoscope the world in color” signify that the singer wants to see the world in a new light, with a new perspective.


The second stanza talks about not having time to meditate or overthink things, and also about synchronizing memories. This could be interpreted as a desire to fit in, to belong to something bigger, and to feel connected to others. The lyrics, “I don’t wanna know the truth, I just need to feel secure again” highlight the importance of feeling safe and secure, even if it means turning a blind eye to reality.


The third stanza talks about animal instincts and survival, and how the singer feels like they are part of a pack. The use of “I know a guy” multiple times in the stanza perhaps implies that the singer knows someone who can help him, but it also suggests a level of desperation to belong. The line, “Codify my wasted youth so I don’t feel this meaningless again” suggests a desire to make sense of past experiences that may have left the singer feeling lost or empty.


The final stanza has darker undertones and portrays the danger of groupthink and the tendency to turn on those who do not fit in. The singer uses the imagery of being burned at the stake, spit on from high horses, and exaggerating shame to illustrate the consequences of being different. The last few lines “He’ll take the fall, The group is never-ending, The group is darkness” seem to suggest that the singer sees the world as an unforgiving and dark place where conformity is key to survival.
