Eau D' Bedroom Dancing
Le Tigre
Escaping Reality Through Bedroom Dancing
Le Tigre's song "Eau D' Bedroom Dancing" captures the essence of finding solace and freedom in the private space of one's bedroom. The lyrics convey a sense of liberation and escape from the chaotic world outside. The opening lines, "I'm in the sky when I'm on the floor / The world's a mess and yr my only cure," suggest that dancing in the bedroom provides a euphoric escape from the troubles and messiness of the outside world. The repetition of the words "more, more and more" emphasizes a desire for continuous immersion in this personal sanctuary, free from external judgment and criticism.
The refrain, "No one to criticize me then / No one to criticize," highlights the importance of this private space where the protagonist can be themselves without fear of judgment. This theme of self-expression and freedom is further reinforced by the lines, "There's no fear when I'm in my room / It's so clear and I know just what I want to do." The bedroom becomes a safe haven where the protagonist can dance freely and express their true self without any inhibitions.
The song also touches on the idea of finding comfort and connection through music and dance. The line "All day bedroom dancing / To you I wanna say / You're my thing" suggests a deep emotional connection to the act of dancing and possibly to the music or person that inspires it. This connection provides a sense of purpose and joy, making the bedroom a place of refuge and happiness. Le Tigre's blend of punk, electronic, and feminist themes shines through in this track, making it a powerful anthem for personal freedom and self-expression.
