If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't On The Dancefloor) Lyrics

You're suppose, to surrender to the bass
You're suppose, to blend into this space
You're suppose, to stay just long enough
To be found, you're not there for the noise
The noise,

You're not scared of the voice, it's just noise
I swear if you didn't see me, you weren't on the dance floor
You should know by now,
I'm just gonna keep on moving on
I'm just gonna keep on, on the dance floor
You should know by now,
I'm just gonna keep on moving on
I'm just gonna keep on, on the dance floor

You're suppose, to roll your hips in time, you're suppose
To see your age rewind
You're suppose, to pull me like the sun
Pulls the earth, but you're not there for the noise
The noise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

According to the commentary on their EP, this song is about people who try to set rules and impose guidelines for things that are supposed to be spontaneous and fun. They wanted to push back against that and kind of shrug and say, oh well, we're going to let loose and enjoy ourselves, because that's what dancing is all about!

However, as someone who tends to be sort of shy and inhibited in public, I imagine the other side as not someone trying to set rules and ruin someone else's fun, but just as someone who's self-conscious. Maybe they say, oh yeah, I was at that club...but they don't remember seeing the singer dancing, so really it's a bluff because they weren't part of the action at all. They probably spent the evening on the sidelines, in the bathroom, or swaying awkwardly in the shadows. Hopefully someday they'll be able to actually participate without being scared, as the lyrics mention, or feeling like everyone is watching / judging them.
