Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember every move you make as if it was still true
Is that I am king that I feel brand new
′Cause you're in my soul, can′t let you go, fighting for you
And in my dreams I'll make you my pair
As we move close, and I grove with you
Blue and green rays they shine through
Feel the energy, you don't have to try
Watch me dance with this memory
Just as real, just as half for me
Watch me dance in my reverie
The lights that came to glow for me
Watch me dance with this memory
Just as real, just as half for me
Watch me dance in my reverie
The lights that came for my love amazing
In the mist of the crowded room, we might have float
But all I see is you, and you alone
′Cause you′re in my soul, can't let you go, fighting for you
And in my dreams I′ll make you my pair
As we move close, and I grove with you
Blue and green rays they shine through
Feel the energy, you don't have to try
You can see it in our bodies, you can see it in our eyes
Watch me dance with this memory
Just as real, just as half for me
Watch me dance in my reverie
The lights that came to glow for me
Watch me dance with this memory
Just as real, just as half for me
Watch me dance in my reverie
The lights that came for my love amazing
The lyrics to Jake Kaufman's song Watch Me Dance! express the idea of holding onto a memory of a past love and preserving that moment in time through dance. The opening lines, "Remember every move you make as if it was still true", suggest that the singer is holding onto a memory of a person they once danced with, and they want to relive that moment in their mind. They feel invigorated and renewed as they dance, symbolized by the line "Is that I am king that I feel brand new". The singer acknowledges that the person they danced with was special and important to them, as they say "′Cause you're in my soul, can′t let you go, fighting for you" and "And in my dreams I'll make you my pair". The use of blue and green rays that "shine through" and the mention of "energy" create a strong sense of intense emotions that the singer feels while dancing and dreaming about this past love.
In the second half of the song, the focus shifts to the present moment. The singer is in a crowded room, but they only have eyes for their memory of the past love. They describe feeling like they are floating through the room with the memory of the person they once danced with, acknowledging that they can't let go of them. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of this memory and how it continues to be a significant presence in the present. The reference to "the lights that came for my love amazing" suggests that the memory of this love is still bright and shining, even in the present moment. The song ends with the singer embracing the memory and the feeling it brings them through dance.
