Take on Me
Eve St. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
In Eve St. Jones's rendition of A-ha's Take On Me, the lyrics are filled with uncertainty and unfamiliarity, representing a sense of insecurity and fear of the uncertain. The opening lines, "We're talking away, I don't know what to say, I'll say it anyway", showcase a sense of hesitancy and awkwardness in communicating with someone new. The singer of the song is making a bold move by asking their love interest to take a chance on them, even though they aren't sure what the outcome may be.
As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the singer is not entirely comfortable with themselves, stating "So needless to say, I'm odds and ends, but I'll be stumbling away, slowly learning that life is okay." These lyrics showcase a sense of insecurity and the fear of being underwhelming in the eyes of someone else, but they are also hopeful and optimistic that they can still learn and grow.
In the chorus, "Take on me, take me on, I'll be gone in a day or two," the singer is essentially saying, "Let's give this a shot, and if it doesn't work out, we can move on without any hard feelings." The fear of rejection is prevalent throughout the song, but the positive message is that it's essential to take risks and be willing to put oneself out there, despite the potential risks.
