Radio Disco
Wilt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Discos don't make much sense,
Maybe its me but I can't dance,
But that's allowed -
'Cause I'm in time
And make sure, you leave a little space,
Maybe i`ll try to use some grace,
But that's allowed
'Cause I'm in time
Could you leave it?
I'm an imposter but I still try
Just to see all the disco lights
Better to tell before the attitudes change
And I'm there cause I can't
Dance alone,
'Cause I've tuned my radio,
And I choose to let it go
But I don't care.
Dance alone,
'Cause I'm lost when I am found
Lost when I've been found
But I don't care.
Now, its up to me
Everything is pumping can't you see?
I've been around - but that's ok.
Distance without any space,
Maybe I'm listening but I'm too late
But that's allowed -
'Cause I can't wait.
(and I'm there cause I can't)
Dance alone,
'Cause I've tuned my radio,
And I choose to let it go
But I don't care.
Dance alone,
'Cause I'm lost when I am found
Lost when I've been found
But I don't care.
Discos don't make much sense,
Maybe its me but I can't dance,
But that's allowed -
'Cause I'm in time
And make sure, you leave a little space,
Maybe I'm listening but I'm too late




But that's allowed
'Cause I'm in time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wilt's song Radio Disco describe the experience of someone who is at a disco but doesn't feel like they fit in. The singer acknowledges that discos don't make much sense to them and that they can't dance, but they're still happy to be there because they're in good company. They ask the other dancers to leave a little space so that they can try to dance with some grace, but they're also fine dancing alone. They explain that they're an imposter who still wants to see all the disco lights and have a good time. The chorus repeats the phrase "dance alone" and the singer explains that they're lost when they're found, but they don't care. The last part of the song describes the singer's feeling of being in the moment and not wanting to wait to experience the joy of the disco.


This song could be interpreted as a commentary on the pressure that people feel to fit in in social situations, especially ones that involve dancing. The singer seems to be saying that even if they don't know how to dance or don't feel like they belong in a disco, they can still have a good time as long as they're in the right mindset and surrounded by the right people. The lyrics also touch on the idea of authenticity and what it means to be an imposter in a certain context. The singer seems to be acknowledging that they don't quite fit in, but they still want to enjoy themselves and let go of their inhibitions.
