"Take it out on the dancefloor" is a song by LorD and Master and is the lead single from Form. Teased in 2022 on the State of Bass release Generation Blitz 3: Extended, the song is about looking forward to the weekend and dancing away the dreary 9 to 5 job the protagonist doesn't enjoy.
Lyrics
Tension, stress Headache Workload, mess Heartache Clock ticking Slowly Paygrade flicking Lowly Painful muscles Caffeine City bustles Confusing Monday blues Dragging Friday tunes Gagging Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor I know you want more Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Like you've never done this before Church spires standing as prophets Landmarks to help you see your way to the office 9am, clocking in Moving spam emails into the bin Disposable cups, coffee and tea Corridors and lifts to floor twenty-three Daydreaming about rocks on the beach In an HR meeting, it all seems out of reach Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor I know you want more Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Like you've never done this before Clocking out on Friday night This time, it is your own Gliding through the city streets The spires guide you home Make your way down to the club To have a drink or four Give yourself one last sip And then hammer the floor Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor I know you want more Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Like you've never done this before Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor I know you want more Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Like you've never done this before Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor I know you want more Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Like you've never done this before Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor Take it out Take it out Take it out on the dancefloor
