The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Shut Up And Dance" by the artist "Walk The Moon"

Walk The Moon's "Shut Up and Dance" is an anthem of spontaneity and passion. The lyrical hero meets a woman who makes him forget everything and just surrender to the moment. The phrase "Shut up and dance" symbolizes the rejection of doubts, shyness, and inner barriers.

The hero feels an instant connection with this woman ("This woman is my destiny"), describing their meeting as something inevitable ("We were born to get together"). The atmosphere of the nightclub, the music, the lights - all this creates a feeling of euphoria and unreality ("victims of the night," "chemistry, physics, kryptonite").

The recurring phrase "Don't you dare look back" emphasizes the hero's desire to completely dissolve in the moment and in his partner. He sees in her not just a girl on the dance floor, but something more ("Deep in her eyes, I think I saw the future").

Overall, the song conveys the feeling of euphoria and all-consuming passion that arise when you meet someone who makes you forget about everything else.

Oh, don't you dare look back!

Just keep your eyes on me.

I said, “You're holding back”,

She said, “Shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny,

She said, “Oh, oh, oh!

Shut up and dance with me!”

We were victims of the night,

The chemical, physical, kryptonite,

Helpless to the bass and faded light,

Oh, we were born to get together,

Born to get together.

She took my arm,

I don't know how it happened.

We took the floor, and she said,

“Oh, don't you dare look back!

Just keep your eyes on me.”

I said, “You're holding back”,

She said, “Shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny,

She said, “Oh, oh, oh!

Shut up and dance with me!”

A backless dress and some beat up sneaks,

My discothèque Juliet, teenage dream.

I felt it in my chest as she looked at me,

I knew we were born to be together,

Born to be together

She took my arm,

I don't know how it happened.

We took the floor, and she said,

“Oh, don't you dare look back!

Just keep your eyes on me.”

I said, “You're holding back”,

She said, “Shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny,

She said, “Oh, oh, oh!

Shut up and dance with me!”

Deep in her eyes,

I think, I see the future,

I realize this is my last chance.

She took my arm,

I don't know how it happened.

We took the floor, and she said,

“Oh, don't you dare look back!

Just keep your eyes on me.”

I said, “You're holding back”,

She said, “Shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny,

She said, “Oh, oh, oh!

Shut up and dance!”

“Oh, don't you dare look back!

Just keep your eyes on me.”

I said, “You're holding back”,

She said, “Shut up and dance with me!”

This woman is my destiny,

She said, “Oh, oh, oh!

Shut up and dance with me!”

Oh, oh, oh! Shut up dance with me! [×2]
