Nu Flyver Anton
Bjork Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Helt af sig selv
Hvad tror du Anton?
Bliver drømmene til virkelighed?
Han flyver gennem himlen
Og himlen hænger
Som en krave
Om hans hals
Det er så sort og meget mørkt
Imellem sol og måne
Nu flyver Anton...
Sa pisser han pa mørkret
Og mørkret
Bliver til lys
Nu flyver Anton...
Sa fik han sit første kys
Sit første kys!
Med tungen!
Tungen ... gik som.
En pro-pel-ler, woah!
Oooh, nu flyver Anton...
Björk's Nu Flyver Anton is a song that speaks of the power of dreams and the potential they have in shaping one's reality. The song begins with Anton flying by himself, asking himself if his dreams will become a reality. Anton is depicted as flying through the sky, with the sky resembling a collar around his neck. The darkness between the sun and the moon is described as black and very dark.
As the song continues, Anton urinates on the darkness which then transforms into light. He experiences his first kiss, which excites him immensely. The imagery used in this song is both surreal and metaphorical, especially when Anton describes his tongue "going like a propeller". The overall message in the song is that dreams are within reach and can take you on a journey of self-discovery and exhilaration.

I loved this song back in the 90s. I used to listen to it in my college dorm and my roommate thought I was a weirdo.
