Landed on the Dance Floor

ダンスフロアに不時着

Dropped onto an unnamed 1973 New York dance floor, the traveler stops demanding an explanation and chooses to dance instead.1973年ニューヨークの名もないダンスフロアへ落ちた旅人が、説明を求めるのをやめ、ひとまず踊ることを選ぶ。

Behind the Track楽曲の背景

One moment there is smoke and ballroom light. The next, the traveler is standing on an unnamed 1973 New York dance floor while a mirror ball turns overhead and somebody spills a drink on them.

There is no time to understand the jump. The room is already moving, and the groove makes surrender easier than explanation. The traveler does not know the dance, but by now that has stopped being a serious obstacle.

‘Lost again, might as well dance’ turns confusion into a choice. If the machine refuses to provide a destination, the traveler can at least stay for one more song.

一瞬前まで、煙とダンスホールの明かりがあった。次の瞬間、旅人は1973年ニューヨークの名もないダンスフロアに立っている。頭上ではミラーボールが回り、誰かの飲み物まで降ってくる。

ジャンプの理由を考える時間はない。部屋はもう動いている。説明を求めるより、グルーヴに身を任せるほうが簡単だ。踊り方は分からない。それでも、今ではもう大きな問題ではない。

‘Lost again, might as well dance’——また迷ったなら、ひとまず踊ればいい。機械が目的地を教えてくれないなら、せめて、もう一曲だけ残ることはできる。

Lyrics歌詞

One second smoke and trumpets, now it's strobes and sequins
Landed on a dance floor, didn't get a reason
Platform shoes are flying, someone spilled their drink on me
Everybody's shining like it's nineteen seventy three

Wait... what year is this?

The bass just hit my chest and now my feet won't stop
Some cat in gold lamé just said I'm outta sight
I don't know the hustle but the groove is — right

Landed on the dance floor, don't know how I got here
Mirror ball is spinning and the funk is getting hot here
Can't go back, won't look down
Lost again, might as well dance
Might as well dance, oh
Might as well dance

Lady in the platforms pulled me to the center
Whispered "just feel the rhythm" — okay, I'll surrender
Disco ball's a time machine, the strings are heaven-sent
Burning through the night like every cent was spent

This is far out, baby — I ain't even mad

The horns keep punching holes right through the ceiling
I'm drenched in sweat and catching that good feeling
Don't know a soul but everybody's reeling

Landed on the dance floor, don't know how I got here
Mirror ball is spinning and the funk is getting hot here
Can't go back, won't look down
Lost again, might as well dance
Might as well dance, oh
Might as well dance

Catch my breath between the beats
Polyester sticking to my feet
The DJ's got eternity on vinyl
I think I'll stay one more song

Eh... close enough

Landed on the dance floor, don't know how I got here
Mirror ball is spinning and the funk is getting hot here
Can't go back, won't look down
Lost again, might as well dance
(Might as well dance!)

The lights are dimming, morning's creeping in
But somewhere, somewhen... the next song begins
