Joji - SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK
Joji - SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK
I don't want a friend (just me)
I want my life in two (my life in two)
Just one more night
Waiting to get there
Waiting for you (all night)
I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you)
I don't want a friend (just me)
I want my life in two (my life in two)
Just one more night
Waiting to get there
Waiting for you (all night)
I'm done fighting all night (waiting for you)
When I'm around slow dancing in the dark
Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms
You have made up your mind
I don't need no more signs
Can you?
Can you?
Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms
You have made up your mind
I don't need no more signs
Can you?
Can you?
Give me reasons we should be complete
You should be with him, I can't compete
You looked at me like I was someone else, oh well
Can't you see? (Can't you see?)
I don't wanna slow dance (I don't want to slow dance)
In the dark

You should be with him, I can't compete

When you gotta run
Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you)
Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you)
Doing so great (so great, so great)
You
Just hear my voice in you (my voice in you)
Shutting me out of you (shutting me out of you)
Doing so great (so great, so great)
You
Used to be the one (used to be the one)
To hold you when you fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall)
I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone)
I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home)
Can it be one night?
Can you?
Can you?
To hold you when you fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah (when you fall, when you fall)
I don't fuck with your tone (I don't fuck with your tone)
I don't wanna go home (I don't wanna go home)

I chose this song because it is one of my favorite ones. It has good lyrics and it fits well suited in late-night drives.
The song tells about a person who is struggling with a mental issue. He feels inadequate for his partner. He doesn’t want his mental state to affect the person that he loves the most.
The part where Joji sings "When I'm around slow dancing in the dark
Don't follow me, you'll end up in my arms". I think that Joji tries to tell that "When you see me out there, lost, don't come following me because you'll be just as lost as me".
English in the song is clear and it is easy to understand. I did not learn any new words.

This song is a very touching one, with personal lyrics.
A person with mental health issues can often feel like they are pulling the people closest to them down with them, and not being worthy of their love.
the lyrics "Give me reasons we should be complete, You should be with him, I can't compete" truly reflect how the person singing doesn't see any reason for the relationship because they can't compete.
Your analysis was very much on point, and easy to read.

I think that your song of choice is really emotional and I like it too. The lyrics are meaningful and tell an important message of mental health. Your analysis is really detailed and I can see that you have really understood the meaning of the lyrics. The singer's voice is really touching, emotional and has a really dominant role in the song, it feels like he sings about his personal problems. The singer's voice combined with the peaceful and relaxed beat make up a beautiful song that has a really deep meaning. I think that the song can help people with mental health problems to understand that they are not alone with their problems. Well done!

Amazing song choice first of all!! I've listened to it a lot in the past. I think your analysis describes the song perfectly, it's very well written and easy to understand. Sometimes you don't need to write a fully fledged essay to get your point across. I agree with you fully on the late-night drives part.
