Anything Goes
Striving Vines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and you can't think at all
But anything goes where the wind blows
when the stars are glowing
I wanna melt your guards
I wanna tear you apart
I wanna dance real slow
When the moonhangs high
all the lights turned low
Hey you're the girl I've been dreaming of
so why you go and leave me low?
Swept meof my feet
it was hard to breath
a moment time was standing still
but in a heartbeat out in the cold streets
she disappeared without a trace
Every night she walks away
To where my God is hard to say
A bottle burgundy dancing merrily
as she's taking me high
Running round in my mind
how could I be so blind?
Back and forth I'm lost she can't be found
Little did I know she never let go
but came running back in my arms
Just wanna melt your guards
I wanna tear you apart
I wanna dance real slow
When the moon hangs high
and the world is tired
all the lights turned low
hey you're the girl I've been dreaming of
so why you go and leave me low
Every night she walks away
To where my God is hard to say
A bottle burgundy dancing merrily
as she's taking me high
Every night she walks away
To where my God is hard to say
My love has gone far away
with the heart she stole from me
Every night she walks away
The lyrics to Striving Vines's song "Anything Goes" tell the story of a love that is both intense and elusive. The singer is deeply enamored with a woman who seems to slip in and out of his life unpredictably. He longs to be close to her, to break down her defenses and hold her close, but she remains distant, disappearing without warning and leaving him to wonder where she has gone. The chorus speaks to the singer's sense of resignation in the face of this unpredictability: "anything goes where the wind blows when the stars are glowing." Despite his longing for stability and closeness, he recognizes the futility of trying to hold onto something that is so fleeting and elusive.
The lyrics use a variety of evocative metaphors and images to capture the mood of this passionate yet elusive relationship. The singer describes the feeling of being swept off his feet, of time standing still, and of being taken to dizzying heights by the object of his affection. He also references the moon, stars, and low lights to create an atmosphere of intimacy and romance. However, the imagery is tinged with a sense of melancholy and uncertainty, as the singer struggles to understand what his love means and where it is leading him.
Overall, the lyrics to "Anything Goes" portray a complex and intense relationship that is full of both passion and uncertainty. The singer is torn between his desire for stability and his inability to control the tides of love, and the song captures this tension with vivid, evocative poetry.
Line by Line Meaning
In a heartbeat getting cold feet
Suddenly feeling afraid and uncertain
and you can't think at all
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to make decisions
But anything goes where the wind blows
Being open to new experiences and going with the flow
when the stars are glowing
During a beautiful, enchanting moment
I wanna melt your guards
Wanting to break down someone's emotional barriers
I wanna tear you apart
Desiring to discover someone's true self
I wanna dance real slow
Wanting to connect with someone intimately
When the moon hangs high
During a peaceful and romantic nighttime
and the world is tired
At the end of a long day when most people are sleeping
all the lights turned low
In a dimly lit environment
Hey you're the girl I've been dreaming of
Expressing admiration and affection towards someone
so why you go and leave me low?
Wondering why that person would hurt you by leaving
Swept me off my feet
Being overwhelmed with emotions for someone
it was hard to breath
Feeling short of breath due to excitement or nervousness
a moment time was standing still
Experiencing a moment that felt timeless
but in a heartbeat out in the cold streets
Suddenly finding oneself alone and exposed
she disappeared without a trace
Having someone disappear from your life suddenly and completely
Every night she walks away
Experiencing the same pain and heartbreak repeatedly
To where my God is hard to say
Not knowing where the person goes or why
A bottle burgundy dancing merrily
Drinking alcohol in an attempt to forget the pain
as she's taking me high
Feeling an escape or temporary relief through drinking
Running round in my mind
Cannot stop thinking about someone
how could I be so blind?
Feeling foolish for not seeing the truth about someone sooner
Back and forth I'm lost she can't be found
Going through a cycle of searching for someone who may not want to be found
Little did I know she never let go
Realizing that the person was always there, even if not physically present
but came running back in my arms
Rejoicing at the return of someone loved and missed
My love has gone far away
Feeling the heartbreak of someone leaving or losing interest
with the heart she stole from me
Feeling as though a piece of oneself was taken away by the person who left
