Dancing Shoes
Dev Lyrics

I'm putting on my dancing shoes tonight
The singer is getting ready to perform and is excited to dance and sing for their audience.

Ten thousand people waiting for me
The audience is eagerly waiting for the singer to begin their performance.

I can hear them outside from the curtain I sit behind
The singer can hear the audience waiting for them on the other side of the curtain as they prepare themselves for the show.

The drums kick in and the lights go down
The show is starting as the drums begin to play and the lights dim to set the mood for the performance.

My heartbeat drowns out the sound
The artist is so excited and anxious to perform that they can only hear the beating of their own heart.

My hands go up, I sing my song
The singer raises their hands and begins to sing their song for the audience.

And a thousand voices sing along
The audience sings along with the singer's song, creating a powerful and joyful experience for everyone involved.

I used to lay awake
The artist recalls a time when they would lay awake at night thinking about performing for an audience.

Hear a crowd roar to every word I say
The artist would imagine the audience cheering and reacting to every word they sang when they were preparing for their performances.

Now the stars, they used to shine so bright
The artist is reminiscing about their past success when they were able to perform under the bright lights of the stage.

They were all replaced by candle lights
The singer may no longer be performing at such a grand stage but instead has become content with performing for smaller crowds in more intimate settings.

And it all, makes it harder to find the places that we know
The artist feels nostalgic about their past success and finds it difficult to recreate that same type of energy in these smaller settings.

Can you hear? Close your eyes
The singer asks the audience to focus on the music and let it take them to another place, asking them to close their eyes and feel the rhythm.

Hearts are racing side-by-side
The singer and the audience are experiencing the same emotions and are in sync with each other while the music plays.

For you I sing, I sing for you
The singer is grateful for the audience's support and is dedicated to putting on the best performance they can for them.

For you, I wear these dancing shoes
The artist's dancing shoes are a symbol of their dedication and commitment to entertaining their audience to the best of their ability.

Are you out there? Can you hear me?
The artist briefly questions if their message and performance is resonating with their audience and if they are truly being heard.

I can hear them outside
The singer can hear their audience waiting and anticipating their performance, which further motivates them to perform to the best of their ability.

I wear these dancing shoes
The phrase is repeated again at the end to reiterate the singer's commitment to dancing and entertaining their audience.
