Danzel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the neightbourhood, don't feel alright
Come on and jump, all night
Wanna party, till the morning light
Come on and jump
Vegas on a Saturday, middle of the night
You were there and caught me by surprise
Hard to handle traffic jams, people passing by
And when a car slowed down
Filled with party people
You turned your head around
And left me in the crowd
So I stopped the cab
Filled with party people
I turned the wheel around
They started singing loud
Come on and jump, all night
In the neightbourhood, don't feel alright
Come on and jump, all night
Wanna party, till the morning light
Come on and jump, all night
In the neightbourhood, don't feel alright
Come on and jump, all night
Wanna party, till the morning light
Vegas on a Saturday, middle of the night
You were there and caught me by surprise
Hard to handle traffic jams, people passing by
I could swear you looked me in the eyes
And when a car slowed down
Filled with party people
You turned your head around
And left me in the crowd
So I stopped the cab
Filled with party people
I turned the wheel around
They started singing loud
Come on and jump, all night
In the neightbourhood, don't feel alright
Come on and jump, all night
Wanna party, till the morning light
Come on and jump, all night
In the neightbourhood, don't feel alright
Come on and jump, all night
Wanna party, till the morning light
Wanna party, till the morning light
Wanna party, till the morning light
Wanna party, till the morning light
Wanna party, till the morning light
Come on and jump, all night
The lyrics to Danzel's song "Jump" describe a night out in Vegas where the singer meets someone that caught them by surprise. The night is filled with traffic jams and crowds of people passing by, but the singer swears that the person they met looked them in the eyes. However, when a car filled with party people drove by, the person they met turned their head and left the singer in the crowd. Frustrated, the singer stopped a cab filled with party people and turned the wheel around, and the group started singing and dancing to "Jump" all night long.
These lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways. The first interpretation is that the singer is reminiscing about a fun night out that ended with them feeling left out and alone. They're trying to recapture the excitement of that night by singing and dancing to "Jump," but the memory of being abandoned still lingers.
Another interpretation is that the lyrics are about the thrill of meeting someone new in a crowded, chaotic setting. The Vegas night is described as frenzied and overwhelming, and the person the singer met may have been just another piece of the chaos. But for a moment, they felt a connection before being pulled away by the party people in the car.
Overall, "Jump" is a fun, upbeat song about letting loose and having a good time, even if things don't go exactly as planned.
Line by Line Meaning
Come on and jump, all night
Encouraging listeners to dance all night long
In the neighbourhood, don't feel alright
Feeling out of place where you are
Wanna party, till the morning light
Desire to have a good time and dance all night long
Vegas on a Saturday, middle of the night
Setting the scene for the story
You were there and caught me by surprise
Meeting someone unexpectedly
Hard to handle traffic jams, people passing by
Chaos and commotion on the streets
I could swear you looked me in the eyes
Feeling a connection or attraction to the person
And when a car slowed down filled with party people
A group of people in a car that are having a good time
You turned your head around and left me in the crowd
The person leaving and abandoning the singer in the midst of the chaos
So I stopped the cab filled with party people
Hitching a ride with a group of partygoers
I turned the wheel around they started singing loud
Taking control of the car and joining in on the fun
Wanna party, till the morning light
Repeating the desire to have a good time and dance all night long
