Lyrics
Would you lead me
To the ballroom
You dirty little school-
-Boy, I tried to sneak you out
But you didn't want to
I'll catch you at midnight
I wanna hear them say
Teach me how to dance as they do
Place your hand lower here
And let me be your whisper,
Speak softly in your ear
I'll catch you at midnight
I wanna hear them say
Oh, all their eyes on me
Caught in my fantasy
Bind me, break me,
I'll play my part
Oh-oh-ah-ah
Beneath your polished charm,
I think, I see you stall,
Stall a little longer
Baby make me crawl
I'll catch you at midnight
I wanna hear them say
Oh, all their eyes on me
Caught in my fantasy
Bind me, break me,
I'll play my part
Oh-oh-ah-ah
Ooh
Ooh
Ah
Ah
Oh, all their eyes on me
Caught in my fantasy
Bind me, break me,
I'll play my part
Oh-oh-ah-ah
Oh-oh-ah-ah, oh-oh-ah-ah
Oh-oh-ah-ah
The video for "Debutante" is a striking mix of glam and rebellion, set in the opulent world of a traditional debutantes' ball. The band members, dressed in elegant gowns, appear stuck in a world of rigid expectations, performing the motions of a formal dance while their true desires remain beneath the surface. As the song builds, so does their defiance : subtle glances, rebellious smiles, and small acts of disobedience begin to break through. The video reaches a climax as the band members cast off their constraints, embracing their wild, untamed sides in a glamorous and chaotic celebration of freedom and self-expression.
