FAIRCHILD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand up, you will not see the sun
While we drift away
How come, days can not be the same
Surrounded by the friends that we have made.

Please be, calm now, wait and see
Days won't seem so long
Lay low, stray from the hype of rivalry

Green eyes won't be there when you are gone.

What ever, the day is over.
What ever, the day is done.
What ever, the day is over.
What ever, the day is done.

You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.
You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.
You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.
You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.

Stand up, you will not see the sun
While we drift away
How come, days can not be the same
Surrounded by the friends that we have made.

What ever, the day is over.
What ever, the day is done.
What ever, the day is over.
What ever, the day is done.

You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.
You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.
You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long.

You took him dancing, you took him home
I don't care but you danced without me all night long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to FAIRCHILD's song "Dancer" seem to describe a feeling of being left out or excluded from a group of friends or a social event. The opening lines suggest a sense of isolation or separation, as the singer notes that "you will not see the sun" while others "drift away." The second verse offers advice to "lay low" and avoid getting caught up in competition or jealousy, suggesting that this behavior can lead to feelings of loneliness and exclusion. The repeated refrain of "whatever, the day is over" seems to express a resigned acceptance of the situation, as if the singer has come to terms with being left out.

The chorus, which repeats the line "you took him dancing, you took him home," suggests that the specific event the singer is referring to is a dance or party, and that someone else took a prospective romantic partner home instead of the singer. The repetition of this line four times gives it a sense of obsession or fixation, as if the singer can't stop thinking about the situation. The final line, "I don't care but you danced without me all night long," reads as defensive, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they're not upset about the situation.

Overall, "Dancer" seems to capture the feeling of being excluded from a group or social event and the resulting sense of loneliness and insecurity. The specific event of the dance and the repeated refrain about being left out suggests a romantic component to the story, but the larger message about feeling like an outsider is relatable to anyone who has been left out of a group for any reason.
