This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I was feelin' lonely
And I was new in town
I was only lookin' for a friend
But when the music started
And I saw you in the crowd
My heart just opened up and let you in
Oh I just came here to dance
I didn't want a lover
I just came here to dance
And look what I discovered
I was caught up in the music
And I was captured
By the magic in your eyes
I wasn't lookin' for romance
I just came here to dance
I may be actin' crazy
And maybe I'm insane
To lose my heart so easily
But when we started dancin'
And you held me in your arms
I don't know what came over me
Oh I just came here to dance
I didn't want a lover
I just came here to dance
And look what I discovered
I was caught up in the music
And I was captured by the magic
In your eyes
I wasn't lookin' for romance
I just came here to dance
Oh, it felt so right
With the jukebox lights
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
When the night was through
It was me and you
And a new love we'd found
And I was new in town
I was only lookin' for a friend
But when the music started
And I saw you in the crowd
My heart just opened up and let you in
Oh I just came here to dance
I didn't want a lover
I just came here to dance
And look what I discovered
I was caught up in the music
And I was captured
By the magic in your eyes
I wasn't lookin' for romance
I just came here to dance
I may be actin' crazy
And maybe I'm insane
To lose my heart so easily
But when we started dancin'
And you held me in your arms
I don't know what came over me
Oh I just came here to dance
I didn't want a lover
I just came here to dance
And look what I discovered
I was caught up in the music
And I was captured by the magic
In your eyes
I wasn't lookin' for romance
I just came here to dance
Oh, it felt so right
With the jukebox lights
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
When the night was through
It was me and you
And a new love we'd found
