This song explores the complex interplay between emotional turmoil and social expectations. The narrative is centered around a protagonist who grapples with internal struggles, such as depression and suicidal thoughts, while trying to navigate the superficiality of social situations like parties. The repeated phrase "I don't wanna dance" serves as a metaphor for their reluctance to participate in these hollow interactions that lack genuine connection or understanding. The lyrics also touch on issues of materialism and societal pressures, as seen in the line "If it pay the bills then I don't mind". Ultimately, this piece provides an introspective commentary on mental health struggles and the façade individuals often feel compelled to maintain in public spaces.
I Don't Wanna Dance
Lyrics
I know a girl, emotionless
Stone cold, so I'm standin' on top of the bridge
Off the bottle, off the weed and a couple off pills
Broke, broke but her momma live in Beverly Hills
Next day I saw her at a party, we chilled
I said, "Do you wanna dance?"
She said, "If it pay the bills then I don't mind"
I'm like, "That's not what I meant but that's cool
'Less you here all night"
Let her thoughts go numb
Get caught in a dull emotion
Got me fucked up, baby, I don't wanna dance
At the party, no serotonin
I need some lovin', no, I don't wanna dance
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna lift my feet up
I wanna move like relativity, yup
I wanna write your name in the wet concrete
But you won't call me, it's like
Nigga, you be doin' too much
I'm tryna astral project to these planets
You tryna dance like a knock-off Janet
Antisocial, I'm depressed
But I've invested hella time in tryna be a better person
(Get ready)
I'm like, "Is that a diss?" She said, "If the shoe fit"
And now I'm gettin' pissed and you makin' a fist
It's like you think you the shit, now I'm pleadin' the fifth
I'm a lot though, suicidal
A casino, I'ma leave broke
First degree, I'm tryna kill my ego
I just wanna dance, baby, you can let me go
Get caught in a dull emotion
Got me fucked up, baby, I don't wanna dance
At the party, no serotonin
I need some lovin', no, I don't wanna dance
Get caught in a dull emotion
Got me fucked up, baby, I don't wanna dance
At the party, no serotonin
I need some lovin', no, I don't wanna dance
I'm numb, I don't know how to fun
Ain't fuckin' with anyone
But shed a tear with my back to the wall
Somethin' don't feel right in my soul
I'm down bad to the bone
Shed a tear with my back to the wall
can't make me, no, you can't make me, no
You can't make me, I don't wanna, never wanna
can't make me, no, you can't make me, no
You can't make me, I don't wanna, never wanna (I don't wanna dance)
Get caught in a dull emotion
Got me fucked up, baby, I don't wanna dance
At the party, no serotonin
I need some lovin', no, I don't wanna dance
Get caught in a dull emotion
Got me fucked up, baby, I don't wanna dance
At the party, no serotonin
I need some lovin', no, I don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance with you
Dance with you
Dance with you, dance with you
I don't wanna dance
