L5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life
In the real time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
[Marjorie]
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance.
[Coralie]
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
[L5]
She's a maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
[Alexandra]
On the ice blue line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery
Touch it but can't hold it
[Lydy]
You word all your life for that moment in time
It can come or pass you by
It's push, shove world but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
[Coralie]
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
[L5]
She's a maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
[Coralie]
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be
[L5]
She's a maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

The lyrics to L5's song Maniac tell the story of a woman who is looked upon as crazy in her everyday life but comes alive on the dance floor. The first verse, sung by Claire, describes the woman as a "steel town girl" who is looking for the "fight of her life" on a Saturday night. However, in reality, no one pays attention to her or sees her in the "real time world." Marjorie's verse describes how the woman transforms on the dance floor, as she locks her rhythms to the beat of her heart and becomes one with the music. She has danced herself into the "danger zone," where the dancer becomes the dance itself.
The chorus, sung by L5, proclaims that she is a "maniac on the floor" and is dancing like she's never danced before. Alexandra's verse describes the "ice blue line of insanity," a place most people never see, but is a hard-won place of mystery that can be touched but never held. Lydy's verse emphasizes that this moment in time is the culmination of a person's life, and it's up to them to seize it. Coralie's second verse describes the woman's struggle to reach the "peak" and "never stopping with her head against the wind." The chorus is repeated twice to end the song.
Overall, the lyrics to Maniac celebrate the transformative power of dance and reinforce the idea that sometimes, getting lost in the music is the only way to truly feel alive. The character of the "steel town girl" may be seen as odd or out of place in her everyday life, but her passion and intensity on the dance floor allow her to become her true self.
