Clark, Dodie - Pas De Deux Lyrics
Poppy's a dancer
Just turned 16
Stares at boys who wear glasses
In look magazines
With glasses and all
Flowers in hand and ambitious plans
It's not hard to fall
She's walking on rivers
He lifts her above
She's full of belonging
And so full of love
Things get a bit louder
Tommy's focused on plans
But she'll still hold his hand
Now she's given up dancing
Tommy says she's too old
He says focus on me but she disagrees
While she does as she's told
Are you walking on eggshells
And when push comes to shove
Are you full of belonging
But not full of love
Back to the studio
Where she was told not to go
Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds
As she opens the door
And what else would be there
But a trusting pair
Of strong bodies, lacking in worries, performing a pas de deux
I am not right
Yes this is what's right
Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined
No, I won't be defined by him anymore
Are you walking on eggshells?
And when push comes to shove
Are you full of belonging
But not full of love?
So goodbye to Tommy
And hello to Sam
He doesn't wear glasses, but he loves how she dances
And he'll hold her hand
Yes Poppy's a dancer
With plans of her own
You'll see her and partner
Performing a pas de deux
In the old studio
She's walking on rivers
He lifts her above
She's full of belonging
And so full of love
They're walking on rivers
He lifts her above
They're full of belonging
And so full of love
They're so full of love

Clark, Dodie Pas De Deux Comments
Im crynig this is so nostalgic
I have a tommy currently... fun
Im scared to share this because of how much it means to me
Lyrics?
This song always made me cry but I havent listened to it since before I got out of an abuseive relationship. Its been almost 2 years and I'm with someone who treats me right so when I tell you I bawled listening to this song again I BAWLED. this is such a good song.
wish dodie would make a studio version of this;(
IT HAS BEEN FOUR FRICKIN YEARS AND I STILL CRY EVERY GODDAMN TIME
Why am I crying. Tommy is an asshole.
Anybody else came here for tchaikovsky nutcracker pas de deux?
Please Come to Austria your music is great!!! We love your personality 🎧🎧🇦🇹🎼
From what I know, ‘pas de deux’ means ‘not of 2’
I just came her after boys like you and I-
Heard this song while in an abusive relationship without realizing it. Told myself over and over again it was just me being an empath to this song. I dumped him and now I’m talking to a new boy almost a year later. This song means the world to me. Thank you dodie
Petition to release pas de deux as a single or have it on the next album
Well I'm late..but this is beautiful ❤️
This is an older song but it’s my favorite, this will probably never be seen, but I’d love if Dodie would put this on Spotify!!🙂
This is still my favourite video of yours. Always make me both happy and sad at the same time. You are so talented
Just figured out who Dodie reminds me of... Vienna Teng. The piano seals it. When she opens up her pipes, she hits the same pitch.
Dodie, if you’re listening check out VTs “Lullaby for a Stormy Night” It’s lovely and I think it’s a match if you’re looking for another cover.
I still listen to this song all the time. Please put on Spotify🥺
ok dodie said that she doesnt like this song but i love it honestly
when I saw the title I thought of two things
1) Pas De Cheval by Panic! at the disco
2) Folie a deux by Fall out boy
I need a studio version please
Dodie said that this was her least fav song of hers it’s so beautiful
Please someone tell me this will come to Apple Music because I’m trying to use it to really cute and I need the song on Apple Music to that please
I’ve had a “tommy” he was a ShE [ lesbian Life 😍] she gave me no time of the day and I would do everything to make her happy. And I wouldn’t know how she was feeling ever. My “Sam” came in the shape of a 6’0 ft tall girl [ I’m 5’2] and I love her
This was the first song I ever heard by dodie, and it introduced me into this whole world of hers and it has truly taken me on an adventure in and of itself alongside the adventure that is life. I was obsessed with this when it was released, but as more music was released i forgot about it and it fell behind. Now, years later and with tons of new experiences I've lived through including an abusive relationship with a Tommy and finding my Sammy but losing him, I remembered this song. As soon as I played it I started crying. It's insane to think of how this song went from being something simple and pretty to suddenly holding all this deep meaning that I didn't notice at first. And it's amazing to see how far dodie has come too. It's comforting in a way. We have grown and risen above our problems together, somehow. Thanks to this song, dodie was intertwined with my life in a way that shaped me into who I am in many ways. Thank you Dodie, I love you ❤️
I wonder if, for Dodie, the dancing was actually her youtube carrier, as we know her abusive ex once made her private a youtube video just because. So I wonder if he wasn't as supportive, and was forcing her to take more of a back seat with it... just a thought
This song makes me even more sad when I realise that 'pas de deux' directly translates to 'not of two'
Ik this song is referring to a dance, but it just it seems really upsetting that the dance title means 'not of two'
This killed me now, bye. This is too beautiful and precious im dead💜
I am begging you to release this officially
pas de dude, the simpsons
Ahhhhh I'M FROM NZ AHHHH
when dodie was emo
This song makes me want to go back to ballet
Pure talent
you took advantage of me at my weakest point, you made me question everything that I was and am. You fed off of my emotions and twisted them into such a beautiful yet sick way to make me feel worse about myself. You made me feel as though, the reason you felt sad was because of me. You blamed me for everything you were going through. You have such a way to make people feel good yet feel absolutely shit and you make them want to cry and cry yet you somehow make them stay. Because of you I have trust issues and I’m surprised I’m still alive now. - you make it seem as though you have changed yet you haven’t changed a bit. You feed on negativity and that’s all you are able to give. You have fucked me up in so many ways to the point to where I have so many underlying issues that need to be fixed. I want those 6 years of my life back. - Sincerely your ex best friend
this has no correlation to dodie at all this was just a vent about someone in my past
If you're thinking about doing a studio version of any of your old songs on your next EP, I'd love to have this one on Spotify! It's so emotional and beautiful! But I can understand if it's too painful.
Why can't i find this one on Spotify? I love this song, please, please make it happen, love you doodie (:
i’ve went through 3 tommy’s . my first one being the worst of all . he ruined me for 2 and half years of an on and off relationship along with emotional abuse , sexual abuse and manipulation . my second one pressured me to doing sexual things with him . and my third sexually harassed me to the point of leaving my school . it took years , but i finally found my sam . around november of 2017 . he was my second grade crush . we talked all day and night about everything . he loves me and treats me right . i love him so much . we started dating on December 26th , 2017 . and i couldn’t be happier . i love and adore him so much ❤️ .
Dodie please come to new Zealand preferably to dunedin for us in the South island 😘😙😍❤
when i was with tommy i was listening to all of your old music. coming back to this song made me cry because i now relate to it in a different way. we've been apart for quite some time, but I've found my sam and i truly know what it feels like to dance.
I need this song on an album
pleaseeeeeeeee release this
:( I have a tommy but im his tommy too
sitting here crying. it’s not ok. it makes me so sad and angry that someone could even think of treating dodie like that. she’s so cute and just such an amazing person and deserved so much better. and any other person who had been treated like that, i’m sorry.
Pas par tout ( I can't remember the spelling )
Also great song.
Delete your Channel
Quick Eyes WHAT??? NO!! if you don’t like it then don’t watch her!
I can’t live without dodie
What keyboard does she use??
If someone hasnt done a pas de deux to this after 3 years, I’ll be very sad
I'm married to my tommy right now, and I want to leave, just scared to do so.
Savanna Payne I’m praying for you. Stay safe
Please, please examine your local resources. You’re not alone in this, and the courage you show in this comment alone is so admirable to me. Good things are coming, I swear. ❤️
the title is prounced "pa de doo"
you need to record this
2019 anybody?
Of course you are, because we still have this situation reaching into every heart.
❤️
Absolutely magical dodie x
2015 dodie at the beginning is more like 2019 dodie than uhhh 2017 dodie lOl
well shite you were in new zealand four years ago.
why couldn't i have found you sooner
tommy broke up with me after cheating on me :/ im not looking for sam rn but maybe in a few years ill be ready lol
I lived in nz for a year
I wish this was on Spotify or something.
Dodie can you please come back to new Zealand i missed the one around the time of this video cause i didn't have any way to watch YouTube but i would love to watch you live because you are such an inspiration and if you could come to Dunedin i would love that and it would be so much easier for us south islanders anyway you are such an inspiration and i love you and your music and thank you
I know this song is so old but I still wish you'd release it on an ep
I haven't even met Tommy yet!
Elvie Rose Robinson lucky you.
This song is so GOOD I hope she puts it on her next EP
this song makes me cry like a little baby k thx
after hearing “burnt out” and watching “angry” and hearing this it hurts and i feel so sorry and i’m scared someone i love could be trapped this way
This will forever be one of my favourite songs written by you. I love it so much. Stories like this happen to so many people and it is such powerful message and so inspiring (I mean the last few verses). It makes me happy. Thank you so much <3
I might be the only one but I’m gonna need this on ITUNES THIS IS AMAZING 💛💛💛
I want this on spotify. It's so good
I love crying when listening to music because it’s so beautiful, and meaningful and sad at the same time
Great performance and song. Thanks for sharing your lovely original Pas De Deux.
paw de da
This song is so beautiful. One of my favourites from dodie! 💕
I say pas de deux aloud and people think I'm just a psycho. Maybe it's because I never put it in context, I'm just like "pas de deux"
I'm glad to not have met my Tommy yet. I had a boy who did not treat me right, definitely not a Sam, yet still not a Tommy.
Am I the only one who got kinda sad when Dodie said this was probably her least favorite song she’s made?
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!
#justiceforPasDeDeux
anyone here after the reveal of her not liking the lyrics of this
Watching this and crying 😭 ilyyy
can't wait to find my sam
This song is like a comfy hug:)
Dis poor song.
How is this dodies least favourite dodie song? ( other than wybsk)
Its lovelyyyyy!
Lol see ya tommy
Here after the "favourite friend" video. I think this is a good song.
who here is coming back after hearing her call this her least favorite song? haha
🙌🏽😔
I love this! it would make a lovely contemporary duet or trio!
I didn’t even know about this until I read the book
i love this song but my fathers name is tom (tommy). and when my parents got divorced my mom went to a guy named sam. he became abusive. and my father was the only person keeping me sane, so i have a hard time listening to this beautiful song.
could somebody please tell me what dodie’s keyboard is called
i'm really crying, i left my tommy a while ago and found my sam and i couldn't be happier
My "Tommy" is platonic and is truly awful to me, I have several platonic "Sams" who can only just watch right now because "Tommy" says I can't talk to them, I feel so trapped, and want my freedom back. any advice?
Gwendolyn Uppleger please get away from them as fast as you can. I hope everything goes well for you ❤️
Am I the only one who's in love with her accent when she talks?❤
I loved this song when it first came out and I related to it purely because I was a dancer and I liked the song. I thought it was beautiful and well written.
2 years later I met my Tommy. I struggled for a year with Tommy, I quit dancing. I loved him with all my being to be awfully mistreated in return. I defined myself by him. It took drastic changes to get away.
8 months later, I met my Sam. I have just listened to this song again and related in a completely different way. I am truly touched and I have never sobbed over a song so much in my life. Thank you, Dodie, for this beautiful piece of art work which gives so many of us so much hope. ❤️
pass the aux
definitely not crying right now. This so beautiful.
"He doesn't wear glasses but he loves how she dances and he'll hold her hand" my hEaRt
And when push comes to shove i will send a fully armed batalion to rem-
Oh wrong song
I know this Tommy.
A few years ago two girls performed this song together at my school, for a performance night. One on piano, the other singing. Funny thing is that one of the girls is named Poppy. It made me cry then, and it still makes me cry now. It's such a beautiful song. And for you to right a song so emotional and pure is incredible. You have a lot of talent Xxx
BUT WHAT DOES PAS DE DEUX MEAN THO OOF
it is a type of dance move. If you search it, it will come up :)
the fact that my crush is named sam and he is a dancer and we're dance partners
