Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor
Glitter on the wet streets
The river's all wet
You're all chrome
Dripping with alchemy
Shiver, stop shivering
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, the girls cry out
The men cry out, oh no
Oh, ah
Oh, ah
Off, off with your head
Dance, dance 'til you're dead
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor
Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
Mirror lies
Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
Mirror lies
Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The glitter's all wet
You're all chrome
You're all chrome
Oh, ah
Oh
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
Off, off, off with your head
Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
The song "Heads Will Roll" by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Atrak/Kid Kamillion is a mix of dance beats and dark lyrics. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of someone in power who threatens to cut off the heads of his/her enemies. The phrase "Off with your head" is repeated throughout the song and is symbolic of the singer's desire to vanquish opponents. Meanwhile, "Dance 'til you're dead" serves as a warning that the singer will not stop until they have succeeded in their mission.
The image of glitter on the wet streets and silver over everything creates a surreal and eerie atmosphere. The use of the word "alchemy" implies that the singer is attempting to turn something negative into something valuable, which could refer to their desire for power. The repetition of the phrase "The glitter's all wet, you're all chrome" serves to reinforce the surreal and dark tone of the song.
The use of multiple voices, including male and female, adds to the sense of chaos and confusion in the song. The repetition of the lyrics also contributes to this effect, creating a hypnotic and frenzied atmosphere. Ultimately, the song serves as a commentary on power and the lengths some will go to obtain it.

@DieLon716 Gucci, waka, jeezy are a different kind of trap but this song is still definitely trap. There are 2 kinds of trap, some call this kind EDM trap. you can look up a trap mix and hear the atypical sounds.
