Take Ya' Dancin'
Say Hi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seein' me lift hooves and flail on
Well, I'm not sure that I've got the nerves just yet
I, I'ma workin'
But your belly's not full of butterflies
And your head's about to burst
Your organ's got no player
So I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Any time you wanna go
And I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Any time you wanna go
Yeah, but still you'll wanna brace
And get your ducks, ducks in a row row
'Cause it's been called, quote, 'Toxic'
To the fabric of humankind
But your belly's not full of butterflies
And your head's about to burst
Your organ's got no player
And your hands, well, they're the worst
So I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Any time you wanna go
And I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Any time you wanna go
So I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Any time you wanna go
And I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Any time you wanna go
The song "Take Ya' Dancin'" by Say Hi explores the idea of not being ready to open up and be vulnerable in a relationship. The opening lyrics refer to the aftermath of a past relationship and the hesitation to let go and step into a new one. The singer admits to still working on themselves and not being sure if they are ready to "lift hooves and flail on," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for letting themselves go and being completely free and uninhibited in a dance with their partner.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the singer is willing to take their partner dancing anytime they want, suggesting that they are willing to try and work on the relationship. However, the line "your belly's not full of butterflies and your head's about to burst" could indicate that the partner is also hesitant and uncertain.
The second verse discusses the potential toxicity of relationships and the need to have everything in order before taking a chance. The line "get your ducks in a row row" implies that the partner may have concerns and fears that need to be addressed before they can fully invest in the relationship.
Overall, "Take Ya' Dancin'" is a bittersweet song that explores the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-preservation in relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Even barring the dark, dark fallout of you
Even without considering the negative consequences of being with you
Seein' me lift hooves and flail on
Watching me dance awkwardly and clumsily
Well, I'm not sure that I've got the nerves just yet
I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to ask you to dance
I, I'ma workin'
I'm trying my best
But your belly's not full of butterflies
You're not nervous or excited
And your head's about to burst
You have a lot on your mind
Your organ's got no player
You're not feeling the music
And your hands, well, they're the worst
You're not confident in your dancing abilities
So I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
I'll ask you to dance
Any time you wanna go
Whenever you feel like it
Yeah, but still you'll wanna brace
You may still have reservations
And get your ducks, ducks in a row row
Prepare yourself and get organized
'Cause it's been called, quote, 'Toxic'
Because some people believe dancing is dangerous or negative
To the fabric of humankind
To the overall well-being of society
So I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
Despite any negative beliefs, I'll still ask you to dance
Any time you wanna go
Whenever you feel like it
And I'll take ya' dancin', take ya' dancin'
I'll continue to ask you to dance
Any time you wanna go
Whenever you feel like it
