Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I take the deepest breaths when I've got you here
I swam the bluest ocean to find some peace of mind
But there's no better calm when I look in your eyes
I don't wanna miss one more moment with
You, you (keep dancing, keep dancing)
(Keep dancing, keep dancing) I want everything
You (keep dancing, keep dancing)
You (keep dancing, keep dancing)
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
I climb the tallest mountain to breathe the freshest air
But I take the deepest breaths when I've got you here
I swam the bluest ocean to find some peace of mind
But there's no better calm when I look in your eyes
I don't wanna miss one more moment with
You (keep dancing, keep dancing)
You (keep dancing, keep dancing)
(Keep dancing, keep dancing) I want everything
(Keep dancing, keep dancing) and I found it in
You (keep dancing, keep dancing)
You (keep dancing, keep dancing)
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, keep dancing

You, you
The lyrics of Wilkinson & Amber Van Day's "Keep Dancing" are about finding the true meaning of happiness and contentment in someone special. The singer uses metaphors of climbing the tallest mountain and swimming the bluest ocean, both of which are challenging tasks that would otherwise bring satisfaction, but they are nothing compared to being with the person who makes them feel complete. The singer implies that the search for happiness is a never-ending journey, but it can be momentarily fulfilled by living in the moment and "keep dancing." The chorus "Keep dancing, keep dancing" is an affirmation of the present moment, living for the now and cherishing every second with their loved one.
The phrase "Keep dancing" is, in fact, the central theme of this song. The singer encourages themselves, as well as their partner or listeners, to continue to dance even when the world can be disappointing and discouraging. The message is that we should never give up hope and keep moving, regardless of what life throws at us.
Overall, the lyrics of "Keep Dancing" are uplifting, and the motivational lyrics elevate the mood instantly. The song has an upbeat and energetic vibe that matches well with the optimistic theme of the lyrics.
