We Don't Have To Dance Lyrics

Record scratched; Steve Miller Band
Tattooed necks and tattooed hands
Oh, how don't you drown in a rain storm?
Fresh regrets, vodka sweats
The sun is down and we're bound to get
Exhausted and so far from the shore
You're never gonna get...

    Andy wrote this song to address the anxiety he feels when he performs and engages with fans. In a YouTube video, he states that he always struggled in social situations and that it didn't just disappear when he became a celebrity. The chorus is a list of things that he hates or gives him anxiety.

    He made a video about the meaning, it's basically a list of everything he hates, and social anxiety or a hatred of social situations and small talk because he struggles with that sort of thing, and any confidence he may seem to have is an act.

    I think it’s about the toxicity of modern “fun.” getting drunk makes you feel like you’re drowning in a rainstorm, regret things, exhausted, and get so far from reality. He knows it can be addictive and fights himself, therefore he can become a hazard to himself. People don’t recognize him for not wanting to to stay the same. All this feels like hell. Fun isn’t always about talking dancing, smiling, and making friends. It’s ok to have boundaries and not want to do everything. It’s ok to not have to be friends with everyone.

    I think it's about his fans and having to meet them and how he actually really hates it because sometime admiration is too much for him. How at this point he really doesn't care anymore. He doesn't understand why people adore and love him so much and he feels like he is trapped in a hell because all these fans think they know who he is but they really don't. Like, i think Andy is great but this is what this song is kinda going for in my opinion.

    I think this is about they do not have to put in the effort for love and he cant love because he doesn't love himself. he wants to love and that is why he says it is hell, so he is just going through several one night stands
