Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Kiss me, please
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you, I love you
The song Fly Me to the Moon, written by Bart Howard and popularized by singers such as Frank Sinatra, was covered by composer and conductor 鷺巣詩郎 for the ending credits of the classic anime television series Neon Genesis Evangelion. The lyrics express a desire for the singer's lover to take them to outer space, to dance and sing under the stars, and to hold hands and kiss. The singer worships and adores their lover, asking them to be true and affirming their love.
One interpretation of the song's lyrics is that the singer longs for an escape from the mundanity of everyday life and a chance to experience something extraordinary with their lover. The mention of Jupiter and Mars invokes the image of exploration and adventure, as well as the idea of a love that transcends earthly boundaries. When the singer asks their lover to "fill [their] heart with song and let [them] sing forevermore," it could be interpreted as a desire for their love to be immortalized through music, which can endure beyond the limits of time and space.
