Hungry Young Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And maybe tell me all your dreams
Talk to me like you would in your sleep
Don't censor anything
Cause i wanna hear everything
There's no innocence left to spoil
You can swear she's not a little boy
We'll fly tonight so far away
Use your wings and i will run fast
Cause that's what i do when i'm not afraid
We've got it made up in our heads
We don't have to wait for anyone or anything
Go anywhere we desire
So close your eyes become blind
From the world listen instead to the girl
She'll tell you why she chose to fly
And you're left behind
Just like me alone and free
We can smile when we've filled the void
And treated the burn
But until then i believe
We're gonna have to learn
To discard any disguise we're using
Yes it's hard and it's never amusing
The lyrics to Hungry Young Poet's song, The Dance, describe a desire for a deep and intimate connection with someone by sharing their dreams and unfiltered thoughts. The tone of the song is one of seeking an escape from the world, wanting to “fly tonight so far away / Where they will never find us.” The use of wings to symbolize freedom is metaphorical and adds to the desired feeling of liberation from societal expectations. The singer presses the listener to let go of any disguise they might be wearing, and to embrace an open dialogue without censorship. The overall message of the song is to cherish the human connections that are made and to live each moment as though it is the last.
