I think it might be about coming out; about being gay and knowing it no matter how much you try to run away from it.
well you know there ain't no doubt
when the feeling finds you out
you know you can try to run
i tell you it still will come
It's pretty clear, you have no doubt and you can feel it. And when you really feel it, no matter how much you try to run, it's not going anywhere.
when you feel your body shake
trip and fall you can't walk straight
baby then you know it's done
you can feel your heart is stung
This part is about falling in love.
you're the one that i saw
you're the one that i want
Ok there're 2 explanations for this one:
1: corin is still talking about how falling in love feels (general)
2: the narrator/singer has a crush on this person she's talking about. So she states self-confidently that this person is the one she wants. (personal)
well you can try to keep it down
try not to let the words come out
but i tell you it's no use
in your eyes they see right through
Most people find it hard to even say they are gay at first. so you might try to keep it inside, not let it out. But it's no use, it's part of who you are, like a visible part of you (not sure about this last one)
if you're going way too hard
if you're feeling way too much
but inside you can't stop
desire she eats you up
It's hard with all the emotions and feelings kept inside and all the fear. You try to keep your true desires down, but you know what you really want, "desire, she eats you up" I think this impersonation of desire as a "she" also might be reflecting both the sex of this person and the sex of the person she wants, meaning it's a female and she's a lesbian, so she wants girls/women.
Finally the song is called Dance Song '97 because it's obviously very suitable for dancing.
OR
the whole song is about falling in love and dealing with it.
