Set It Off - Lonely Dance Lyrics






One step forward, one step backwards
One step forward, one step backwards

Some days I'm up, some days I'm down
Some days the world is way too loud
Some days my bed won't let me out
But I'm okay with missin'...

Out on the social anxiety
Out on the phony friends I don't need
So I just turn off my phone and turn on TV
Cause solo's the only way I can breathe
So I just, so I just...

Do my little lonely dance
Performing for my only fan
Cause it's my kind of party
My room is where my heart is
I do my little lonely dance
I don't need you to understand
And there's no way I'm stoppin'
It's like nobody's watching
As I do my little lonely dance

One step forward, one step backwards
One step forward, one step backwards

These days I'm good, these days I'm fine
These days I'd rather pay no mind
Silence is in town, keep her around
And you'll be glad you're missing…

Out on the social anxiety
Out on the phony friends I don't need
So I just turn off my phone and turn on TV
Cause solo's the only way I can breathe
So I just, so I just...

Do my little lonely dance
Performing for my only fan
Cause it's my kind of party
My room is where my heart is
I do my little lonely dance
I don't need you to understand
And there's no way I'm stoppin'
It's like nobody's watching
As I do my little lonely dance

One step forward, one step backwards
One step forward, one step backwards

All I need is me, myself, and I
(One step forward, one step backwards)
All I need is me, myself, and I
(One step forward, one step backwards)
All I need is peace and quiet
Shhh... that's better

Some days I'm up, some days I'm down
Some days the world is way too loud
Some days my brain's locking me out so I just…

Do my little lonely dance
Performing for my only fan
Cause it's my kind of party
My room is where my heart is
I do my little lonely dance
I don't need you to understand
And there's no way I'm stoppin'
It's like nobody's watching
As I do my little lonely dance

I do my little lonely dance
I do my little lonely dance
Like nobody's watching
I do my little lonely dance
(One step forward, one step backwards)
I do my little lonely dance
(One step forward, one step backwards)
I do my little lonely dance
Like nobody's watching
I do my little lonely dance

    Out on the social anxiety
    Out on the phony friends I don't need
    So I just turn off my phone and turn on TV
    'Cause solo's the only way I can breathe, so I just, so I just

    Do my little lonely dance

    Even when Cody is infected by a space zombie and killing all of his friends, he's still a beautiful, albeit psychotic, lord of music

  66. M.... C....

    All his friends are gone... and it’s his fault...



    Same tho:/

  67. P.... ....

    This dude looks just like DanTDM amirite?

  68. M.... D....

    I really want Panic! At the Disco and Set it off to do a song together

  69. C.... J....

    cody's mother *really* should've taught him not to shake hands with aliens that wanna kill you.

    C.... J....

    Chloe Jensen right? I thought everyone was taught that as a kid, look both ways before crossing the street, eat your veggies, and don’t shake hands with weird aliens

  70. T.... f....

    Why do I feel bad for maxx because he witnessed two people dead and one infected and he was the last one left

  71. R.... M....

    How many people noticed he is holding a toy plasma pistol from Halo?

  72. Z.... ....

    Yeah, all the music videos have their underlying meaning that relates to the song.
    But the obvious story shown in the video itself is always so amazing. I can see myself finding a story like these in a book and getting wrapped up easily. It's just,,, incredibly original, exciting, and intriguing.

  73. W.... B....

    guys no he’s literally alienating himself

  74. L.... ....

    2:49 Dang son, what happened to Freddy Krueger?

  75. Z.... V....

    "Performing for my only fan" aka for myself? Because i'm lonely and i do my lonely dance aka i living my lonely life.

  76. j.... w....

    Pure fire🔥🔥

  77. J.... S....

    Me when the lads get a cheeky Nando’s without me

  78. H.... ....

    Is it just me or is the lyrics for this song my life in a nutshell

  79. O.... O....

    I have anxiety

  80. R.... D....

    Those 757 people have no soul SIO is the best band ever!!

  81. H.... F....

    "What if in the next video clip I killed you guys?"

  82. A.... L....

    Goro Akechi. smh.

  83. M.... A....

    dont now if i am trippin but this hear and look a lot like a starset music video

    M.... A....

    nevermind

  84. A.... S....

    dame un like si hablas español pero comentas todo de set it off en ingles :V

  85. G.... ....

    Blue guy: Shake my hand
    Cody: *Shakes hand*
    Blue guy: I'm about to end this whole man's humanity

  86. S.... T....

    i love u so much

  87. S.... T....

    U ARE SO CUTE TO US A LOT LIKE 90000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
    LOVE SARAH AGE 11

  88. f.... F....

    Me this summer break👉🏼👉🏼

  89. J.... S....

    Im that only fan >:3 (jk) but I am obsessed with set it off 😈

  90. K.... 0....

    If your fan from Russia , i think you make the best song in all music !!!!

  91. 0.... 1....

    Are they playing Lazer tag with aliens?

  92. D.... K....

    why are people getting so offended when Cody says “performing for my only fan”? It’s called Lonely Dance so the only fan is himself. Not trying to be mean or anything but stop getting offended over a line in a song it’s honestly really pointless

  93. D.... O....

    Are we being contaminated?

    Or are we the disease?

  94. D.... O....

    *all celebrating* Let's never do that again !

    *alarm goes off*

  95. I.... -....

    “One step backwards”
    Proceeds to walk forwards

  96. J.... ....

    I haven't seen a single comment try to explain the video for those (like me) who are a bit slow and don't know what's going on.

    J.... ....

    I think it's a metaphor, the "monster" that "kills" Cody's friends is his own social anxiety/depression, at the end he shakes hands with the "monster", becoming the monster himself. I think the killing is metaphoric for shutting his friends out of his life even though he actually cares about them and doesn't want to hurt them or leave them (1:18)

    J.... ....

    @Rain Glow Cool, thanks!

  97. x.... c....

    UwU ❤️

  98. S.... (....
