Disco Down
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'bout the days when we were wishing
We could fly and touch the sky
Laughing meeting under cover
Running hiding from your mother
If we tried we could do anything
And when the DJ came to town
People came from all around
Baby l still recall those things
And ooh, I'm missing you now
I'm missing you now
And you turned my world around
When you burned this disco down
Why'd you leave to find yourself
I can't dance with no-one else
And still there's memories of this town
When you burned this disco down
It's been ten years now this Sunday
Since you left or was it Monday
Time can fly when you're still in love
And now I boogie in my dreams
To ole freak or dancing queen
Baby I still recall those things
And ooh, I'm missing you now
I'm missing you now
And you turned my world around
When you burned this disco down
Why'd you leave to find yourself
I can't dance with no-one else
And still there's memories of this town
When you burned this disco down
And oh, now the dance has died for sure
Since your love ain't here no more
Still l wonder where you are
I'll always wonder where you are
And you turned my world around
When you burned this disco down
Why'd you leave to find yourself
I can't dance with no-one else
And still there's memories of this town
When you burned this disco down
The song "Disco Down" by Kylie Minogue narrates a nostalgic story of a lost love and a burnt-out disco. The lyrics begin by reminiscing on the days when the singer and their lover were carefree and full of aspirations to fly and touch the sky. They would laugh and meet each other in secret, running and hiding from their mother. However, despite their young age and the challenges they faced, they believed they could achieve anything. The lyrics then turn to the memory of the night when the DJ arrived, and people from all over town gathered to dance and have fun. The singer recalls those moments fondly, but also misses their past lover, asking why they left to find themselves. But, remembering the memories of their town when they burned the disco down, they long to relive that experience once more.
The second verse reflects on how time has passed, and it's been ten years since the singer's lover left. However, they still dream of dancing to their favorite tunes, like Ole Freak or Dancing Queen, and reminisce the times they had together. The chorus repeats, expressing how the lover made the singer's world turn around by burning the disco down, and how they can't dance with anyone else. The song ends in a melancholic tone, wondering where the lover could be and how the once lively disco is now dead without their love.

And oh, now the dance has died for sure

Still l wonder where you are
Continuing to feel curious about the whereabouts of the person
I'll always wonder where you are
Feeling that the curiosity will persist over time

I heard this song for the first time in July 2020, one day while I was quarantined at my house and i fell in love. Her voice is so powerful, the rhythm is si captivating and these lyrics are so sad, it is a perfect combination. Best from #LightYears ❤️
