Story behind the song
The song explores the complexity of emotions associated with love and loss. A woman expresses a deep desire to dance with someone special, symbolizing the quest for connection and intimacy. However, this wish is marked by feelings of sadness and disillusionment. The song reflects the personal internal struggle between the desire to forget, and the pain caused by persistent memories. Phrases like mistreat my heart and mistreat my eyes suggest a sense of suffering and confusion, indicating that the beauty of love can also bring pain. Themes of farewell and hope permeate the song, revealing a cycle of longing and the expectation of a response that may never come. The repetition of the idea of dancing with a loved one highlights the intensity of desire, while the imagery of "eyes" and "heart" symbolizes vulnerability and the depth of feelings. In summary, the song is a meditation on lost love, the accompanying sadness, and the incessant search for meaningful moments, even if inappropriate reasons mark them. Deep stuff, capturing a lot of emotional nuance.
Lyrics
(I wanted to) I wanted to do this tonight In the middle of the dance floor, 'Cause you don't need it anymore, To dance with someone who loves you. And I know I should be happy, Just a bit of happy, I know this isn't what you want to do, I know this isn't what you thought it would be. (All I wanted) All I wanted was to know How to dance and do it with you. Just once tonight, because of this Very wrong reason to mistreat my eyes. Empty longing and around it The precision of tears, And the desire to believe I'm not seeing ice in your eyes. (I am not sure) I am not sure if I want to forget you. But your words, questions and answers, It hurts me more than Most are good for me. All I wanted was to know How to dance and dance with you. Just once tonight, because of this Very wrong reason to mistreat my heart, my eyes, my life. :( o " o ): __________ (You told me) You told me one day, If I understood correctly, People come to you and if you like, You let them go. I'm going. But, even saying goodbye, I always end by waiting for a response. Although, knowing you, you, I don't believe in this. (Yet, All I wanted) All I wanted was to know How to dance and dance with you. Just once tonight, because of this Very wrong reason to mistreat myself.
