I definately agree with JimmyJazz about the tower of Babel, but I would say its more about communication and emotional barriers in general. "To ever open up my heart to all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule". Hes referring to how the fear of the opinions of others and the fear of the failure has stopped him from living his life. He stuck at a "red light". Then, the next night, he "pushes through the crowd he sees" and can see clearly. The chorus then clearly explains the meaning of the song by saying "let go of your heart, let go your head, and feel it now". In other words, he stops thinking and starts doing. I would say its more of a "break through whats holding you back" type song instead of one focused on a relationship. |

I think the reason the song says "dancer" is because it is refering to a completly different "type of being" or kind (ie. "dancer kind" instead of "human kind"), which does not have full free will. Thinking of the nature of dancers, they are able to move freely, however, they are secluded within a space and are told to move a certain way to a certain beat while having to look a certain way, therefore they have the illusion of free will but not the real thing. To me thats what this song is refering to."Cut the Cord" is refering to the breaking way from the norms and rules of society (possibly specific to the U.S.) and being truly free. |
