LYRICS
Make my body motion, yeah the night is young
Open like the ocean, cold and numb
Dance until the sweat forms on your face
It won't take long to flush the poisons
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
And I don't care
So what's wrong? I think too much
I don't want to fuck you, I don't want to touch
I just want to fill you with regret
I've said it all before, it's pointless
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
What I'm doing here
It's so redundant
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
We are all alone
I forget where I come from
I don't care
Dance until the sweat forms on your face.
(ooh..ooh ooh..ooh ooh..ooh..)
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
What I'm doing here
It's so redundant
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
We are all alone
I forget where I come from
I DON'T CARE.
And I don't care.
Dance until the sweat forms on your face.

I disagree vital. I think this song is about these two people who are partying and drunk, hence "Dance until the sweat forms on your face It won't take long to flush the poisons" He also i believe has wanted this girl for an extended amount of time. Now that knows what she is all about he just wants to leave her without anyone like how he felt

i think this song is about a guy who is at a party, probably drunk, and meets up with an ex or something, who is also drunk, and they begin to flirt and dance together. but he starts to sober up after a while and realises that what he is doing... and obviously doesnt want her to be happy, infact he wants the opposite "I dont wanna fuck you. I dont wanna touch. I just want to fill you with regret" but he says that he has said it all before and that it's pointless, like he gives up on trying to make her regret what she did, and keeps dancing with her... well thats my interpritation anyway... awsome song :)

The first two lines are indeed, "Make my body motion; yeah, the night is young."

i think the song is about a girl he wanted but he no longer wants her because shes all about drinking and partying. and i think that in a way he hates her for it and wants to get back at her, "I just want to fill you with regret"

'I forget where I come from What I'm doing here' is what he says, though you got it right the second time. glad to see someone added this song.

To me, this song is about a guy who loves a girl. But in the process of loving her, he's forgotten who he is. It's a struggle between his love for her, and his own self.

Instead of "Make my body motion, Yet I'm not as young"... isn't it "Make my body motion, yeah the night is young"? Anyway, this song's great. Love the album.
