Dancin' to the Sound of a Broken Heart
Galantis Lyrics

Do you remember
Recalling a past experience or memory

When you and I were young?
Reflecting on a time when they were both naive or inexperienced

We always stared each other down
Constant eye contact between the two, often leading to a standoff

Till we were numb
Resulted in a feeling of being emotionally drained or detached

There in the madness
Acknowledging a chaotic environment or situation

Us against the world
A feeling of being united as a team, fighting against all odds

And every heartbeat felt like
Describing an intense physical sensation

This is what we deserve
Acknowledging that the experience is something they earned or worked hard for

With every heartbeat
Reinforcing the intensity and significance of the physical sensation

We were dancing to the sound
Describing a physical activity while listening to music

Of a broken heart
The music they were dancing to brought up emotions of heartbreak and pain

I remember running in the dark
Describing another memory of a physical activity that took place at night

We were dancing to the sound
Reiterating the physical activity along with the music causing emotional turmoil

With every heartbeat
The physical beat of their heart further intensifies the experience

We were dancing to the sound
Reiterating the activity and emotional state they were in

Of a broken heart
The music they were dancing to was representative of their inner emotional struggle

We were dancing to the sound
The music played a pivotal role in the activity and the emotions expressed

Of a broken heart
Continuing to emphasize the emotional strain reflected in the music selection

We were dancing to the sound
Reiterating the physical activity was happening while listening to music

Of a broken heart
Conveying the notion that the emotional turmoil persisted through the experience
