Mmhm, yeah
Yeah yeah

You got me waitin' at the corner
Waitin' at the red light
Waitin' at the crosswalk
Thinkin' of you
Waitin' in line
At the grocery store
Waitin' for an Uber, thinkin' of you
Look

I'm a dirty dancer
If only I could pull my pants up
I just wanna be the one you want to dance with
Forget all that bullshit
Let's just focus on this
I just wanna be the one you want
To move with
Want to groove with
To move with
Want to dance with
Yeah, uh

You got me waitin' by the phone
Waitin' for my food
Waitin' for my clothes to dry
Thinkin' of you
I'm waitin' for a sign
Waitin' for my game to load
Waitin' for spring
Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

I'm a dirty dancer
If only I could pull my pants up
I just wanna be the one you want to dance with
Forget all that bullshit
Let's just focus on this
I just wanna be the one you want
To move with
Want to groove with
To move with
Want to groove with
Yeah, uh

When the lights go down
That's when the demons come out
It's a long way back
And time runnin' out
I said, the lights go down
That's when the demons come out
It's a long way back and time runnin' out
But you could leave with me now
We could both leave this town




You could leave with me now
We could both leave this town

Overall Meaning

In Orion Sun's song "Dirty Dancer," the singer is waiting for various mundane things, but throughout it all, they can't stop thinking about the person they desire. They repeatedly declare themselves a "dirty dancer" and express a desire to connect socially, driven by a desire for connection and intimacy to escape their boredom. The singer seeks to share these feelings with their love interest and ignore the mundane aspects of life while focusing on animalistic desires.


The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is constantly fixated on someone else and finds it challenging to focus on anything else. They are presented as being preoccupied with the person who they have an emotional connection. The desire to connect with someone and escape the brutal reality of everyday life is evident in the lyrics. The singer is confident in their sexual prowess, describing themselves as a "dirty dancer." They want to be the person that their lover wants to dance with, forgetting any other obligations or worries. The person they desire is their escape from life's monotony, and they seek the same mutual reciprocation of emotions and desires.


Overall, "Dirty Dancer" is an expression of the singer's desires to break away from the mundanity of everyday life with someone they adore. They're not just looking for someone to dance with; they're looking for a way out - a way to escape from the stressors and struggles of their daily life with someone they desire.
