I believe this song, though very good, hides a darker meaning within its lyrics. I listened to it while reading Mein Kampf and it just sorted falling together as a song about the Nazi Empire. Think of it from Germany's perspective: Theres only two types of people in the world, The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe, Well baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl, Don't like the backseat, gotta be first. In the beginning of the war, Germany was very angry about the way the rest of the world was treating it. Instead of sitting back, they became a "put-on-a-show kinda girl" and launched what would soon be known as the most deadly war of human history. "don't take the back seat, gotta be first" could be interpreted as making the first move and invading Poland in 1939. I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots, I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot, Until around 1943, Germany called all of the shots. She was winning. "Like a firecracker" means "I'm dangerous", and "I make it hot" alludes to the Holocaust and the corpses of learning camp-goers being cremated when they refused to take showers. There's only two types of guys out there, Ones that can hang with me, And ones that're scared, So baby I hope that you came prepared, I run a tight ship, So beware. This would be Germany's betrayal of the Soviet Union. When she saw that the Communists were weak and fallible, she cut them loose. All eyes on me, in the centre of the ring, just like a circus, Britney Spears is very proud of Germany's "heroic" actions. It goes on to several more stanzas of pro-Nazi lyrics, but I think you get the jist of it. This song is about Britney Spears' admiration of the Nazis' "circus"-like spectacle. |

| Fall Out Boy – Dance, Dance Lyrics | 15 years ago |

It's a bit of a stretch, but I think this song is actually a memorial to one of the most fascinating moments in human history, World War 2. It's written in the perspective of a Nazi-fanatic, and if you interpret the lyrics as coming from such you'll make a lot of connections. Let's assume this takes place in around 1943-1944, when things started going wrong for Germany: Weighed down with words Too overdramatic Tonight it's "It can't get much worse" Vs. "No one should ever feel like" Words means the now failing "Master plan". The Fatherland is bogged down by those whom it seeks to destroy. It's too "overdramatic", or complicated. The writer of the song realises this and doesn't think things could get much worse, but cuts himself off in the last line because it's treason to think of these things. I'm two quarters and a heart down And I don't want to forget How your voice sounds These words are all I have So I'll write them So you need them just to get by Simple. Everything else is starting to go wrong and this poor soldier only has the great leader's words to go by. He loves Hitler and this love propels him to go on. Dance, dance We're falling apart to halftime Dance, dance And these are the lives you'd love to lead Dance, this is the way they'd love If they knew how misery loved me Halftime in this context is the year. It's the midway point of the second war and things are starting to fall apart. "dance dance" is the holocaust, and they'll continue dancing [eg, killing the wicked] until they die [And these are the lives you'd love to lead, proclaiming FOB's superiourity complex when it comes to their pro-nazi beliefs]. "dance, this is the way they'd love" starts to show how delusional the song writer is, and the last line shows that he wishes the undesirable races would understand him as he gives them their [first and] final shower. In the end, he just repeats "dance dance dance dance". This means that he wants the listener, you and I, to continue his work and lead the great empire into the future. They sing this line almost like marching. You can also interpret the name "fall out boy" to mean "from the fall out of the old nazi empire, a new one shall arise!" Very interesting stuff |
