It's basically about a relationship that was essentially not good for either of them. He was trying to wait for this person for however long it would take at the beginning. When he says he is slow dancing in the dark, his explanation was as if he was walking around and lost, don't follow him or you will be lost as well. It won't benefit either of you if you don't know what you want out of a relationship. You'll be lost together. But they were moving on and finding someone new after you were together, which made him doubt himself like when you compare yourself to someone who is with someone you like. The example Joji gave was: if you see a photo of Ariana Grande with Pete Davidson and you say, well, I can't compete with him because you are with that person now instead of me for a reason, no wonder she is with him and not me. He wished he could spend more time with that person, even if it was just a night but ultimately knows that the situation wouldn't improve. The best explanation for the video besides Joji's Genius Explanation (Song Explanation: th-cam.com/video/pjz6tHzV5SE/w-d-xo.html ) of the song itself is this: For anyone wanting an explanation for the goat legs: he’s a satyr in love with a human girl. Satyrs are controlled by their sex drive, but he loves her so much that he doesn’t want to turn her into an object. He’s slowly dying because he loves her, and he can’t have her because he wants to protect her from his own overwhelming libido.

Here's some basic and simplified Greek/Roman mythology for you. It will help you understand the symbols used in the video. A Satyr is a half man half goat hornbag servant of Dionysus/Bacchus, the god of grapevines, wine, debauchery, and fertility. The other piece of mythology needed(that you touched upon) is the whole deal with Eros/Cupid. He has two types of arrows. Blunt, round headed ones that make you repulsed towards the person and sharp, barbed ones that make you fall insanely in love with the person. If you get hit with the round one, it won't hurt you, but if you get stuck with the barbed one, you can't remove it. The only way to get rid of it is to make it fall out by acting on the actual, deep love you feel for the person he wants you to fall for. He sometimes was a bit of a donkey and hit one person with one and the other with the other, just to see the love arrow person struggle hopelessly and inevitably bleed out by morning on the next day. If a Satyr finds a victim, it simply has to have adult fun times with the person. That's their nature. If they do, though, they lose all interest afterwards. They get one night stands. That's it. In some versions of the myth, the human doesn't even survive a night with a Satyr. Now here's a Satyr hit with a sharp arrow. Not just attracted to the person. Deeply, truly in love with them. Knowing it would lead nowhere. It would only harm the person the Satyr loves. Choosing its own suffering over their loved ones potential pain. Beautiful metaphor for a doomed relationship. If you want to know where Joji came from, react to Pink Guy and either STFU or Kill Yourself. Both really funny and dirty, as you can tell from their names, songs. It's part of his long retired previous persona, FilthyFrank. He had to resign as Frank as it was having bad effects on his health, both physical and mental. Plus, he grew out of being an edgelord. To fully comprehend Joji, knowing Frank is a must, though.
YOU,LL BE IN MY ARMS ... She loves him equally, cant resist each other... but Someone wrote this ... "For anyone wanting an explanation for the goat legs: he’s a satyr in love with a human girl. Satyrs are controlled by their sex drive, but he loves her so much that he doesn’t want to turn her into an object. He’s slowly dying because he loves her, and he can’t have her because he wants to protect her from his own overwhelming libido. (courtesy of @Hugo Mudu)" ... and i say Bingo!!! I was once the woman and felt the same but am the opposite of a satyr. I needed someone who cuuld be faithful. The agony was broken down to manageable when I left the continent with no way to connect. I hate remembering these feelings but jojo has created an irrisistable masterpiece. SAVED to my playlist.
He can have anyone anytime cuz women super attracred to him. BUT neither of them want that for her. Good catch on the goats feet, too. Yeah he is a deep n gifted person but such a lost cause and knows now what neither can ever have after having tasted of it. Thanks for these moments.
You are real cuz most say they never heard the music but i can see that you never heard ,but most of the ppl just think we are stupid cuz i can see in there eyes the away they tallk and move like they already know the song .
The "WHY IS HE LIKE THIS??" took me out, bro. Lol I feel the same way. Love the dude.
Slow dancing in the dark means he's lost. He said it himself.
That makes sense though!
