JLE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cuz every other day i'm on the run
so look around the room and tell me what you see
there's room for dancing so it's gotta be the place to be
so i just got one thing to say
ya'll just better move out my way
baby cuz tonight i'm gonna dance
drifting into enchanted land
Oooh let's dance (take me to enchanted land)
oooh let's dance (take me to enchanted land)
do you want to go with me to enchanted land
you will have the most fun you've ever had
here you can relax and let your mind free
come on and enjoy yourself and dance with me
Take me to a place where love never dies
take me to a place where freedom lies
oh in this place there is always time to dance
this is the place i call enchanted land
but tomorrow will come with more work to be done
baby but tonight i'm gonna dance drifting into enchanted land
The lyrics of JLE's "Enchanted Land" express the desire to escape from a stressful routine and find a moment of joy and release on the dancefloor. The artist declares that tonight is all about having fun, as every other day is spent on the run. The invitation to look around the room and join in the dancing creates a sense of community and shared experience, suggesting that the song is meant to be a celebration of togetherness and carefree enjoyment.
The chorus reinforces the theme of escapism and fantasy, as JLE asks to be taken to an enchanted land where love never dies and freedom lies. This imaginary place is depicted as a refuge from the obligations and worries of everyday life, a space where people can let their minds free and express themselves through dance. Despite acknowledging that the next day will bring more work, the artist insists on drifting into the enchanted land tonight, emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment and cherishing the present.
