Take on Me
General Soundbwoy 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
The lyrics of General Soundbwoy's "Take on Me" speak of a person's eagerness to connect with someone they are interested in, despite their uncertainty about what to say or do. The singer is determined to take a chance and go after the person they desire, even if they are unsure of how the other person feels or if they will be successful in winning their affection. The lyrics express how life can be challenging and that it's a learning process, but we should all take risks and not be afraid to pursue what we want.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the chorus, "Take on me (take on me), take me on (take on me), I'll be gone in a day or two." This phrase could be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, the singer is asking the person they desire to take a chance on them, to "take on" the challenge of starting a relationship and see where it leads. Secondly, the phrase "I'll be gone in a day or two" could refer to the fleeting nature of life and how we should make the most of our time by taking risks and pursuing what we want, as we never know when our time will be up.
The lyrics of "Take on Me" convey a sense of urgency and a desire to pursue love and new experiences, despite the risks involved. The song reminds us that life is short and we should make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.
