Lykke Li – Dance, Dance, Dance Lyrics 12 years ago
Geez had to create an account because I was astounded by the lack of different comments on here. Maybe I am wrong, maybe you guys are right and Lykke li's songs are all about sex and metaphors, every single one of them but I would imagine not.


Lykke has mentioned several times in interviews that she is a dancer, that she likes to dance this is confirmed by those who have seen her live, or to just look at her videos.
Dancing is a form of expression,creation and an art just like music, acting, painting etc. What I personally believe she is describing is that alot of creative people find it much easier to express themselves through their art, sometimes the artists creative side is far more expressive and confident than they are in relationships and 'real life' situations.
Dancing can tell you alot about a person, like a persons drawing style or music. This is how souls speak their deepest primal urges and desires merging with physical form.

So from that, I think she is finding it difficult to tell somebody how she feels about them, not a straightforward situation, maybe the person is in a relationship with somebody else or has been a friend for years so she is finding it hard to tell them, or maybe she just finds telling anybody that she likes them romantically difficult. So she is describing each movement of the dance is dediated to that special person, her emotions are raging throughout the dance directed at that particular person. Think of animal mating dances or territorial.

'the words are in the air' 'words can never make up for what you do' She is saying that the human language will never be enough in expressing how she feels about this person and she can only express thoses feelings through dance. It is the fustration of knowing how badly you feel for someone and not being able to tell them so putting everything into creative works and hoping they figure it all out through the riddles.


I love this song, something about all of lykkes songs are new and modern but at the same time have deep primative spiritual type feel to them and yet the melodies are usually so simple and to those who care not to look any deeper can easily be seen as another puppy eyed lolli-pop star. Clever girl.

Just my interpertation from a fellow artist
