It caused some controversy at the time but they capitalised on all the publicity. Owen Downey and Keith Bell also wrote material for a couple of publishing companies with tracks released under 'The Machine Boys' and numerous other fronts.
They moved over to Europe in the early 90s and I think ended up in Ireland eventually.
Dance Like This
Gah-Ga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
weight on and burn you inside
Oh, think of what might
slowly erode you inside
all of these days keep on coming
they won’t stop
I don’t feel anything
they won’t stop, they won’t stop coming so
This is how we dance
This is how we dance by ourselfs
We were sick and we were worried and that was better than before, that was better than before, that was better than before
In the song "Dance like this" by Gah-Ga, the lyrics portray a sense of introspection and reflection. The opening lines, "Oh, think of what might weight on and burn you inside / Oh, think of what might slowly erode you inside," suggest a contemplation of the burdens and negative emotions that one carries within themselves. It highlights the idea of internal struggles and the toll they can take on a person's well-being.
The chorus, "All of these days keep on coming / they won't stop / I don't feel anything / All of these days keep on coming / they won't stop, they won't stop coming so / This is how we dance / This is how we dance by ourselves," gives an impression of feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from the external world. The repetition of "they won't stop coming" implies that the days and challenges continue to persist, and a sense of numbness or emotional detachment is present.
The concluding lines, "We were sick and we were worried and that was better than before, that was better than before," express an intriguing perspective. It suggests that despite the sickness and worry, it is somehow an improvement from the past. This could indicate a personal growth or realization that even though things may be difficult, there is a sense of progress and acceptance.
Overall, "Dance like this" conveys a deep sense of introspection, acknowledging the weight of personal struggles while also recognizing the potential for growth and acceptance.
