Absolutely brilliant. A DJ remixed this called "do i dance inside your head?" and it's amazing too!

wish i could listen to this song for the first time again...

[@actualblackcat9291]

Can someone explain the meaning of this song? I always thought it was unreciprocated love.

[@dazai3901]

thotasaurus I’m not so sure myself, either-but this is my interpretation: Someone lost something very significant to them (perhaps a lover or friend), they look back on how they spent their time together; or how they could’ve. Finding things to self-indulge in to hide the pain behind a facade, or distracting them from it, at least. “And mix a fear up with a friend,”-having someone to discuss issues with. They want to be remembered, because they’re constantly reminiscing about the significant entity. -this song means a lot to me. I relate to it so much, it actually really, really hurts. I’m so happy I discovered the song, ‘cause whenever I feel low or sentimental, this song makes me feel calm and happy (but at the same time, also sad).

[@actualblackcat9291]

bobby My heart hurts. Thank you.

[@rhiannonsieg2775]

I agree with dazai and I also wanted to add I think of it as being about a love that couldn't ever be because of mistakes that were made. A future imagined that can never be because it's too late

[@hg778]

It sounds like an allegory for alcoholism to me. "Do I smooth your checkered past? Does your hope float, when you call me your last?"

[@takerunee]

These comments are so old they make me think if all these people are alright.

[@abygalewitts8939]

I really want to find a bar And mix a fear up with a friend Plant a joke kiss on your arm And give you skulls tattoos in pen I want to know... Do I dance inside your head? Is our love star crossed? 'Cause all I feel is that I'm caught in it I really want to go to bed With a feeling in my chest Like I lost again But this time for the best I want to know Do I smooth your checkered past? Does your hope float? When you call me your last I really hope you're on at eight With no commercial breaks And the sofa sinks Underneath our doubled weight If I love you Like I loved you from a far If you love me When your skin wasn't so hard When your skin wasn't so hard

[@sluggishlysire3540]

They're referring to the person they love like a T.V. program that they never want to stop watching, "and the sofa sinks, underneath our doubled weight," continues the aforementioned imagery by stating that they could lounge for long periods together.
