Take on Me
Kid Coconutz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We′re talking away
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, OK?

Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)




I′ll be gone
In a day or two

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Kid Coconutz’s Take On Me suggest hesitation in communication in a relationship. It seems like the singer is trying to build a connection with their loved one, but struggles with expressing themselves fully. This is represented by the line "We're talking away, I don't know what I'm to say, I'll say it anyway." It's as if the singer is in a vulnerable position, possibly trying to confess their love, but are unsure how to go about it. The references to the passing of time show the urgency of the situation, with "today's another day to find you" suggesting that the opportunity to connect is precious and needs to be seized.


The chorus of the song, with the iconic line "Take on me" repeated multiple times, symbolizes the singer's desire for their partner to reciprocate their love. The line "I'll be gone in a day or two" seems to suggest that the singer is unsure of their place within the relationship and is willing to leave if rejected. It's as if the singer knows that their love may not be returned, but is still committed to taking a chance.
