Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing on a sea of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
You can love if you wanna love
You can fight if push comes to shove
You can run if the going gets tough
Don't ever try to change me
Cause you will surely find me
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Don't try to be a hero
That won't get you very far
Don't ever try to figure
One more word and I'm pulling the trigger
Don't ever try to change me
Cause you will surely find me
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Don't ever try to change mе
Cause you will surely find me
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sеa of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea of air
The lyrics to Flirts The's "Dancing Madly Backwards" are somewhat cryptic, but they seem to be about asserting one's independence and individuality. The repeated phrase "dancing madly backwards" suggests a sense of disorientation or confusion, but also a certain freedom and unpredictability. This is reinforced by the lines "you can love if you wanna love / you can fight if push come to shove / you can run if the going gets tough / or you can say that you had enough," which suggest a refusal to be boxed in or controlled by others.
The chorus's warning "don't ever try to change me / 'cause you will surely find me" reinforces this sense of independence and resistance to outside influence. The following verses reinforce this idea by warning against heroism or trying to figure out the singer, with the repeated refrain emphasizing that they are dancing on a sea of air - a sense of lightness and lack of grounding that could be seen as either liberating or destabilizing.

Bailando rabiosa al revés
Bailando sobre el aire del océano
No trates de ser un héroe
Porqué eso no te va a llevar muy lejos
No trates de cambiarme
Porqué de seguro qué me vas a encontrar
Bailando rabiosa al revés
Bailando sobre el aire del océano
