Deaf Havana - Everybody's Dancing And I Want To Die (Lyrics)

Track 3 of the new Album by Deaf Havana - Old Souls.

Song meaning by James Veck-Gilodi

Lyrically in teams of Subject matter, this one is a little more light hearted, hence the over dramatic name. It goes back a little further then I have done before.

This song is about being in Primary school. Back then I wasn't anywhere near as confident as I am now (which even now isn't a great deal), I spent the majority of my preteen years alone. My parents moved a lot and I attended 6 different primary schools this not having any real friends.
I remember my main concern back then for some reason was school disco, and the fact that I was always scared no one would dance with me, even at a young age.
Basically this song is mainly about the fact that my worst fears always come true, no one ever danced with me at school discos, well unless you include dinner ladies who were 5 times my age or teachers who felt sorry for me.

It didn't affect me of course in the long run, such a trivial matter, but I will never forget the disappointment and resent I always felt on those horrible days.

The title of the song is a genuine quote from a text message I sent to my friend Mikey last year. I was at a Greek house party and everybody was dancing and I was on my own drinking.

The text message was of course tongue in cheek but maybe it goes back to those early school discos and girls I could never impress .
