To Laura325, I'm almost positive that he's making a reference to 1984.
In the book, "Big Brother" is really just the government, or the conforming of the people to the government.
In other words, he is feeling that he has always been chained, so to speak, by conformity. He now finds a way to break away from it and is directly stating that it can't hold him back any longer. |

Katievanish, I agree with you on some of what you're saying.

As for the "I can't dance..." line, I think he's just using that as a metaphor as a way to say that he can't do the things that should make him happy unless he's going about them in a rather miserable manner. |
