Take on Me
Eighties Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To that moment when
I stopped feeling anything
Not even the sound of you breathing
It really felt like we were out of time
Take me back
Take me back
We're out of time
Take me back
To those moments when
We're out of time
Take me back
To that moment when
I stopped feeling anything
Not even the sound of you breathing
I really love when we are out of time
Take me back
The lyrics to "Take On Me" by A-ha are an expression of longing and nostalgia for a past moment in a relationship. The singer desires to be taken back to a moment when they felt nothing at all, not even the sound of their partner's breathing. This could be interpreted as a moment of peace, a moment when the two were so lost in each other that the outside world ceased to exist. They describe this feeling as being "out of time," suggesting that the moment was one that transcended the bounds of time and space.
In the second half of the song, the singer repeats this desire to be taken back to a moment when they were "out of time." They express their love for these types of moments and the way they bring them closer to their partner. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the singer's longing for this moment, as if they are trying to will it into existence.
