“Little Black Dress” must be the song that came from Sara’s heart when she “stood on her heart and stomped.” This is a song of empowerment, emphasizing the invincibility behind wearing a little black dress, a metaphor for a personalization of the universe. What I mean by this is that, in putting on the little black dress, she is requestioning values, replacing a surrounding world’s facts with her personal truth, and deciding to enjoy the music she hears. In other words, she is writing her own destiny as one who chose to be wrapped in a little black dress, a color commonly connotated negatively. She’s daring to be different.
The stompiness of the lyrics (think stubborn refusal to do something) comes out in the song’s rhythmical divisions, as if the message were like blood veins pulsing with what goes on inside them.
