Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare
It's dare
You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
Hold it down, dare
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
It feels like you were there yourself, work it out
Never did no harm
Never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare
It's dare
You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby
Hold it down, dare
Jump with the moon and move it
Jump back and forth
It feels like you were there yourself work it out
Never did no harm
Never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare
Never did no harm
Never did no harm

That's what you do, baby
Hold it down, dare
Jump with the moon and move it
Jump back and forth
It feels like you were there yourself work it out
The song "Dare" by Gorillaz is an upbeat and energetic track about pushing yourself to live life to the fullest. The first stanza repeats the phrase "it's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up" followed by the title of the song "Dare". This repetition creates a sense of excitement and anticipation, building up to the chorus. The chorus, which repeats twice, encourages the listener to "press it on you", to take action and not be afraid to take risks.
The next two stanzas describe dancing and moving with the music, suggesting that those who do so will feel like they're "there" themselves. The final stanza repeats the phrase "never did no harm" and encourages listeners to dare themselves. The lyrics are simple, yet the message is clear, urging listeners to live without fear and make the most out of their lives.
