Luna Square
Boytronic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He don't look like us
But his eyes are sparkling in the darkness
You can't say how old he is
The years can't hurt him
He knows the magic that makes images
He don't look rich
But it seems there's forbidden treasures
Time has come to take care
Turn around and run but
If you don't
You'll have to hear the words he'll say:
Ride to the white zone!
Follow the stairs!
I'll wait for you at Luna Square!
He will teach you all his spells
How to turn dust into gold
The path to heaven and to hell
To be strong and to behold
To delude the wealthy man,
To seduce his virgin maid
How to curse the magic ban
How to raise his limits great.
Ride to the white zone!
I will be there
I'll wait for you at Luna Square!
There are sparkles in your eyes
You enjoy your mighty life
By and by
The years weren't dry
You're in a state that you can't die
All your tries are in vain
You must go the dusty way
You are waiting in the shade
You will be the one who'll say:
Ride to the white zone!
Follow the stairs!
I'll wait for you at Luna Square!
...etc.
The lyrics to Boytronic's song Luna Square tell the story of a mysterious man who possesses magical powers and promises to teach the listener his spells. The man is described as being different from others, with sparkling eyes that shine in the darkness. Despite his appearance, the man has knowledge of forbidden treasures and a secret way to access them. The lyrics suggest that the man is ageless and cannot be hurt by time, indicating that his powers are truly otherworldly.
The chorus encourages the listener to follow the man to the white zone and climb the stairs to Luna Square, where they will learn the secrets of the man's magic. The lyrics detail what the listener can expect to learn from the man, including how to turn dust into gold, seduce a virgin maid, and delude a wealthy man. The imagery of heaven and hell suggests that the teachings of the man may have both positive and negative consequences.
The final verse of the song changes perspective and suggests that the listener has become like the man, waiting in the shade for someone to follow. The repetition of the chorus suggests that the listener has become the teacher, offering their own knowledge and guidance to others.

Time has come to take care
It's time to be cautious
Turn around and run but
Run away while you still can
If you don't
If you choose not to run away
You'll have to hear the words he'll say:
Prepare to be warned of the dangers ahead

You're in a state that you can't die
You have achieved immortality
All your tries are in vain
Despite your efforts, you cannot avoid the inevitable
You must go the dusty way
Your fate is to follow the path of death
You are waiting in the shade
You are now the mysterious figure waiting in the shadows
You will be the one who'll say:
You will now be the one warning others of the dangers ahead
...etc.
And so the cycle continues

Fan der ersten Stunde! Als mein bester Kumpel 1983 mir seine neuste LP vorspielte (The Working Model), war es um mich geschehen. (Danke Torsten!!!!) Ich durfte die LP gleich auf MC kopieren und seitdem lief das Teil rauf und runter... Was für eine geile Zeit!
Als die LP rausgekommen ist, kannten die meisten nur Depeche Mode.Aber auf unseren Partys lief halt oft Boytronic und das war gut so...
Hab die LP eben rausgekramt und aufgelegt - Früher hat mich das jedes knisten und knacken von LP´s genervt - jetzt bekomme ich Gänsehaut wenn ich mal ein knacken im Lied höre. Da werden Erinnerungen wach.
Das war vor 31 Jahren.... unglaublich wie die Zeit vergeht.
Hier noch die Titelliste von "The Working Model":
1 - recycled
2 - luna square
3 - diamonds and loving arms
4 - red chips
5 - you
6 - i want to live in harmony
7 - my baby lost it's way
8 - you're the one who stays
9 - at last

Класс! Класс! Класс!
Живу в Германии уже 22 года и Бойтроник никто не знает и не слышал. А мы в Союзе от него тащились.
Как так! Ничего не понимаю.
Kaum jemand kennt Boytronic in Deutschland. Es ist eine riesen Musik-Bildungslücke.
@user-uz3wb1zu9o
Yes of course!
