Double Dare Lyrics
I dare you to be real
To touch
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower
Don't cower in night fright
Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to despise
Bureaucracy and all its lies
In the void
In the void they stare
They never
They never dared to dare
I dare
I dare
I dare you
You
You
You
I dare you
You

I dare you
To touch
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower
Don't cower in night fright
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
Bureaucracy and all its lies
In the void
In the void they stare
They never
They never dared to dare
I dare
I dare you
You
You
You
I dare you
You
I

I dare you

This song is a challenge to be true to yourself and your ideas. When I saw Bauhaus in '98 this was the first song they did of course. What was especially cool was that the rest of the band came out except for peter murphy. They wheeled a tv out and Murphy was on the tv singing for this song. Very symbolic.
Fairly straight forward. Daring fake politicans to actually act like real people instead of the conservative little muppets they can be.
daring decadents - i love them for this!
wow thats tight you got to see these fools!!n i recently jus got into Bauhaus, but i must say that this song in paticular i lkie more than others for some odd reason?
this is my favorite song on In the flat field
It's about having the balls to stand up, stand out, and do what you want. Stand for something, be a hoodlum, be a freak because no one else has the courage to. Bauhaus is daring you to do what you want, even if you're stoned for it.
Nevermore did a good cover medley of this and Silent Hedges on their In Memory ep.
this one's pretty straightforward. Don't be afraid to stand up for what you beleive in even if its odd and other people degrade you for it.
I always imagine this song happening in front of a huge cave at night. with two trees at either sides of the entrance. There is a fire and a shaman is dancing wildly arround it while lightning is striking in the background. Another song about being true to yourself. Hair of the dog is a similar album intro.
