Cover art for Fred Astaire lyrics by Lucky Boys Confusion

this song could be about dancing, but i think it's about much more than that. When we're young we're taught many things. It's so hard to please everyone and in fact it's impossible. Society pushes the youth in so many directions and says that you should be good at something. You need substance in your life, and you better get it right. We as a child try to fulfill all these standards set before us, we don't want to quit and more than all we don't want to let society or our parents down. But while society and our parents are pushing us they lose control of what life is all about and what life is suppose to be. Eventually if some of these standards aren't lifted they'll lose us to something no one truly wants.
