Julian! I Want To Be A Dancer!
Sibille Attar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back in town, so you made me dance
Made me run, made me move around
You wrote the song and Ill do the steps again
Julian, Id like to be a dancer
Julian, I wanna be a dancer, there
John knows hes right, knows Im wrong
And theres no way out
Julian, Id like to be a dancer
Julian, I wanna be a dancer, there
But Im not that dumb, not that young
Things will come around
So bear that in mind, Im not kind
Youll get yours in time
Cause I wrote that song so youll do the steps again
Julian, I want to be a dancer
Julian, I want to be a dancer,
Julian, how did you know Im a dancer
Julian, Id like to be a dancer, there.
In "Julian! I Want To Be A Dancer!" by Sibille Attar, the lyrics express the desire to dance and move to a song written by an influential person named Julian. The song starts with the singer's return to town, and Julian noticing her presence and urging her to dance. Julian seems to have a hold on the singer, as she says she will do the steps again, implying that there has been a previous encounter where she has danced to one of Julian's songs before. The repeated request to dance from Julian suggests that he has power over her, and that he can manipulate her through dance.
The lyrical content implies a power dynamic, where Julian is in control, and the singer is not. John is introduced in the second verse as being somebody that "knows he's right, knows I'm wrong." This could mean that John is a mediator or a friend that has seen the power dynamic between Julian and the singer before. The singer is on her knees, wanting peace, and begging, which indicates that Julian has control over her, and she has no choice but to comply with his wishes. However, the lyrics suggest that this is not a long-term situation, and that the singer is aware of the power dynamic and is not "that dumb, not that young."
Overall, Sibille Attar's "Julian! I Want To Be A Dancer!" is a poetic expression about the desire to dance and the power dynamics that can exist within that world. Julian is the embodiment of the music industry, and the singer could represent a struggling artist who is willing to do anything to pursue her passion. The lyrics are catchy and have a repetitive nature, adding to the feeling of being stuck in a situation that may not be the best for the individual.
