I Can't Dance
Michael Seyer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the little voice that he hears inside
Brushes it to the side
All he wants is to feel alive
I ain't fancy, no, when I'm dancing, no lie
I'm just wilding one step at a time and it's
So damn right
So, I got a glimpse of God
In the form of a living beat
It goes like
I can't dance no, I can't dance, no
I can't dance no, no, no, oh!
She moves and catches his eye
They had little choice, they knew to jive
Swings her hips to the side
Dance floor seemed so dim in light
I'm so antsy, oh, when I'm prancing, no lie
I'll just boogie one toe at a time and it's
So damn right
'Cause I know just what you want
Ain't the same with what you need
It goes like
I can't dance no, I can't dance no
I can't dance no, no, no, oh!
The song "I Can't Dance" by Michael Seyer tells the story of a man who is chasing a feeling of being alive, ignoring the little voice inside that warns him of the danger he is putting himself in. He wants to feel the thrill of the moment and dances in a wild and uncoordinated way, not caring about what other people might think of him. He is looking for a glimpse of God, which he finds in the rhythm of the music. The woman he meets on the dance floor catches his eye, and they dance together, lost in the music and the moment.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I can't dance" several times, suggesting that the man is aware of his lack of skill but doesn't care, as dancing is his way of finding joy and meaning in life. He sings that he knows what people want, but differentiates that from what they really need, indicating that he has a deeper understanding of human nature than many others do.
The lyrics of the song are both reflective and celebratory, and they depict the power of music to unite people and create a sense of shared experience. The story is relatable to many people who have ever felt self-conscious about their dancing abilities or wanted to let go of their inhibitions on the dance floor. The song encourages listeners to embrace the present moment and enjoy life to the fullest.

So damn right
It feels absolutely correct and perfect
So, I got a glimpse of God
I have experienced something divine
In the form of a living beat
It was through the rhythm of the music
It goes like
It's like this
I can't dance no, I can't dance, no
I am not a good dancer
I can't dance no, no, no, oh!
I really can't dance at all
She moves and catches his eye
He is attracted to her dance moves
They had little choice, they knew to jive
They had to dance together
Swings her hips to the side
She moves her hips gracefully
Dance floor seemed so dim in light
The dance floor seemed less noticeable in the dim light
I'm so antsy, oh, when I'm prancing, no lie
I am dancing with great enthusiasm
I'll just boogie one toe at a time and it's
I am dancing carefree and cheerfully
'Cause I know just what you want
I know your desire
Ain't the same with what you need
But your needs are different from your want
I can't dance no, I can't dance no
I am not a good dancer
I can't dance no, no, no, oh!
I really can't dance at all
