Monday
Karsu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All dressed in blue
I looked up to the sky
Noticed it was you
Why won't you just make me dance
Why would you miss out the chance
Don't miss out on your view
Do, do, do
I woke up on a Monday
All dressed in white
Looked up to the moon
Noticed all the lights
The lyrics of Karsu's song Monday express the feeling of being alive and in control, it highlights the beauty of the world around us and encourages listeners to seize the day and do what they want to. The opening lines "I woke up on a Monday, all dressed in blue" maybe a reference to the common feeling of sadness and melancholy that many people experience at the start of a new week. However, the lyrics counteract this feeling by encouraging the listener to be empowered and positive, and the line "Noticed it was you" may suggest a recognition and appreciation of something greater than themselves.
The lyrics also accuse someone of denying the singer the opportunity to dance and enjoy life to the fullest, and urge them not to miss out on their view of the world. The lines "Why won't you just make me dance, Why would you miss out the chance" express a desire for the singer to live life to the fullest, without hesitation or restraint. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of life and an encouragement to take control of our destiny and make the most of every moment.
