Take On Me
Janez Detd. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.
Take on me (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Needless to say (get up, get up, get up)
I'm odds and ends
But that's me, stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
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
(when, will I, will I be famous)
Things that you say
Is it love or just to play
My worries away
You're ll the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
(take on me) x5
The song "Take On Me" by Janez Detd. is a love song that portrays the singer's feelings towards a person he is interested in. The opening lines - "Talking away, I don't know what to say, I'll say it anyway" - suggest the singer's nerves and uncertainty about expressing his feelings. Nonetheless, he proceeds to proclaim his love and his intention to pursue the other person.
The chorus - "Take on me, take me on, I'll be gone in a day or two" - suggests that the singer is willing to be taken on a journey or adventure with the other person, but he also acknowledges that this journey may be short-lived. Despite the potential brevity of their time together, the singer is eager to take the chance and find out what may happen between them.
The following verse - "Things that you say, is it love or just to play, my worries away" - indicates that the singer is unsure whether the other person is genuinely interested in him or just playing games. However, he is willing to take the risk and pursue the other person anyway. The repetition of "take on me" at the end of the song denotes the singer's passionate desire to be accepted and loved by the other person.
Overall, "Take On Me" is a song about the thrill of pursuing love and the excitement of taking a chance, even if there may be doubts and uncertainties along the way.
