Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I've got this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling or else
I'll tear up this town
Now I gotta cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool, obeying every rule
Dig a way down in your heart
You're burning yearning for some
Somebody to tell you that life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You'll get by if you'd only
Cut loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Ooh-wee Marie shake it, shake it for me
Woah, Milo come on, come on let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You got to turn me around and put your
Feet on the ground, now take the hold of all
Ah ah ah ah ah
I'm turning you loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose (footloose)
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues,
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut footloose
The song "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins is about breaking free from the monotony of everyday life and letting loose. The song starts off with the singer feeling frustrated with his job and questioning the purpose of his daily routine. He feels like time is holding him down and he needs to break free from his current situation. The chorus provides the solution to his problem: he needs to cut loose, kick off his shoes, and dance away his worries.
The second verse is a pep talk to someone who is stuck in their own routine and needs to break free. The singer tells them to dig deep and realize that they are yearning for something more in life. He advises them to take risks and try new things, or else life will pass them by. The chorus repeats again, urging everyone to cut loose and dance away their blues.
Overall, the song is a celebration of freedom and the power of dance to uplift people's spirits. It is a fun and catchy anthem that encourages people to let go of their worries and just have a good time.

My science teacher sent me here. He used to play music he liked when we entered and left the class, but with quarantine going on, we're kinda depressed and alone, so he sends us emails saying what song he would have played that day. He's a really awesome guy. Love you sir!
