Little Dance
Neon Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got time in our cups
Yeah it's just a little dance
Under the sun
Yeah, it′s a lifestyle
I told ya I don't need a night out
My bank account be looking nice now
I hit the kitchen with my ice out
I'm on my own wave
Momma asking if I′m okay
I′m okay momma
I said I'm done with my old ways momma
But if you really wanted to know
I get sick when I try to run from it
Stand too quick and your legs give out
Mind plays tricks like why am I scared if this
When it′s all said and done you
Don't need to rush we got time in our cups
Yeah it′s just a little dance Under the sun
And nobody knows how this life will unfold
Yeah, it's just a little dance under the sun
I′m a nice guy
Open codе up on wifi
It ain't too big it's just the right size
100 demos on my hard drivе and they all dimes
Took the long way
Momma asking if I′m home safe
I′m home safe momma
I do not speed on the freeway momma
But if you really wanted to know
I get sick when I try to run from it
Stand too quick and your legs give out
Mind plays tricks like why am I scared if this
When it's all said and done you
Don′t need to rush we got time in our cups
Yeah it's just a little dance Under the sun
And nobody knows how this life will unfold
Yeah, it′s just a little dance under the sun
Don't need to rush we got time in our cups
Yeah it′s just a little dance under the sun
Yeah it's just a little dance
Yeah it's just a little dance
Yeah it′s just a little dance under the sun
O o ohhh o whoaaa ooo oh oh ooo owhoaa o
Yeah, it′s just a little dance under the sun
The lyrics to Neon Dreams's "Little Dance" express a laid-back, carefree attitude to life, with a focus on enjoying the moment rather than racing through it. The opening lines set the tone, suggesting that there's no need to hurry or rush; the singer and their companions have plenty of time to enjoy life, symbolized by the cups of presumably alcoholic beverages they're holding. The song celebrates simple pleasures like dancing in the sun, which the singer describes as a "lifestyle." The verses also touch on personal growth and maturity, with the singer acknowledging that they used to be a partygoer but have since calmed down and focused on other things. They're happy with their new lifestyle and are content with spending time at home "in [their] nightgown."
The repeated refrain of "I get sick when I try to run from it / Stand too quick and your legs give out / Mind plays tricks like why am I scared if this" is a powerful message about fear and anxiety. The singer acknowledges that sometimes they get scared and want to run away from their problems, but this only makes things worse. Instead, they advocate for taking things slow and steady, like a "little dance under the sun." They remind listeners that nobody knows how life will unfold, and the best we can do is enjoy the present moment and take things one step at a time.

Don't need to rush
There's no need to hurry
We got time in our cups
We have plenty of time to enjoy life
Yeah it's just a little dance
Life is like a dance, just enjoy it
Under the sun
In the light of day
Yeah, it's a lifestyle
This is how we live our life
I told ya I don't need a night out
I don't need to go out to have fun
My bank account be looking nice now
I have enough money to enjoy life
I hit the kitchen with my ice out
I go to the kitchen with my jewelry on
In my nightgown
Wearing comfortable clothes at home
I'm on my own wave
I'm living my own life, doing my own thing
Momma asking if I'm okay
My mom is checking on my well-being
I'm okay momma
I'm doing fine, don't worry
I said I'm done with my old ways momma
I'm moving on from my past and making positive changes
But if you really wanted to know
If you're curious
I get sick when I try to run from it
I can't escape my problems, it makes me feel ill
Stand too quick and your legs give out
Acting too fast can lead to failure or injury
Mind plays tricks like why am I scared if this
Sometimes our thoughts deceive us and make us afraid of things that aren't dangerous
When it's all said and done you
In the end, you
Don't need to rush we got time in our cups
We have plenty of time to enjoy life, no need to hurry
And nobody knows how this life will unfold
No one can predict exactly how our lives will turn out
I'm a nice guy
I'm a kind person
Open code up on wifi
Working on my computer at home
It ain't too big it's just the right size
My life is not too complicated, it's just right for me
100 demos on my hard drive and they all dimes
I have many good ideas saved on my computer
Took the long way
I've taken a different, longer path in life
Momma asking if I'm home safe
My mom is checking to see if I arrived home safely
I'm home safe momma
I've arrived home and I'm okay
I do not speed on the freeway momma
I drive safely and don't take unnecessary risks
Yeah, it's just a little dance under the sun
Life is like a dance, something to enjoy while we're here
