Dancing In The Dark
Rihanna - Dancing In The Dark Lyrics

(Come on)
Encouraging the listener to join in the fun of dancing in the dark

I wanna dance in the dark
Expressing a desire to dance without any inhibitions, under the cover of darkness

We gonna light up the night
Indicating that despite the darkness, the energy and enthusiasm of the dancers will light up the night

Underdogs dance in the middle of the night
Highlighting that even those who are overlooked or underestimated can shine in the nighttime

Can see the night skies in the mirror of your eyes
Describing the reflection of the nighttime sky in someone's eyes, adding to the ambiance of the dance floor

If you don't dance make sure you got the rhythm
Advising those who are not confident in their dance skills to focus on feeling the rhythm of the music instead

Make sure that your heartbeat beats with the rhythm
Emphasizing the importance of connecting with the music on a deep, visceral level and letting it guide movement

I wanna run wild in the middle of the night
Expressing a desire to let go of inhibitions and dance freely under the night sky

Right under the moon, bodies glowing in the night
Painting a scene of a moonlit dancefloor with couples and individuals moving to the music

Nothing in between our skins but the rhythm
Suggesting a sense of intimacy and connection between dancers as they move to the same beat

The night-time is the right time
Promoting the idea that nighttime is the best time for dancing and letting loose

I wanna dance in the dark and never stop
Envisioning a night of non-stop dancing, with no end in sight

We gonna light up the night like shooting stars
Using powerful imagery to convey the energy and excitement of dancing in the dark

Whenever you hear the sound don't be alarmed
Reassuring listeners that the beat of the music is there to guide and support them, rather than overwhelm or intimidate them

Move, move, move
Emphasizing the importance of constant, fearless movement while dancing in the dark

Out here with the stars like the creatures of the night
Highlighting a sense of belonging and unity with other dancers as they move together under the starry night sky

I wanna dance fast in the middle of the night
Expressing a desire to move energetically and with intensity during the nighttime dance
