The Old Fashioned Way
Luna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We should be getting home
According to the shadows
We should be getting on
With your lucky lucky fingers
And your caterpillar eyes
I promise to be gentle
And I promise to be nice
Some love is short, some love is long
Sing to the ghosts of a dream gone wrong
A new style hit the city
A nueva bossa craze
Dance into the future
In the old fashioned ways
Perfect your dimensions
Teeth as white as white
I promise to be gentle
And I promise to be nice
The opening lines of "The Old Fashioned Way," sung by Luna, revolve around the concept of time and the shadows that they cast. The singer says that "we" should be getting home and getting on with things as per the shadows. However, the rest of the song takes on a dreamy and a romantic tone. The singer addresses their partner, whom they describe as having "lucky lucky fingers" and "caterpillar eyes," indicating that they love and appreciate every inch of their partner's body. The singer then pledges to treat their partner with tenderness and affection. The chorus lyric reflects how time can impact love. The singer acknowledges that love can be short or long, but those even short relationships leave a slight imprint in your heart. However, one can still dance into the future through love even with the old fashion ways.
The following verse suggests a turn towards the future, as a "new style" has hit the city, and there is a new "nueva bossa craze." The singer advocates dancing in the "old fashioned ways," perhaps a reference to enduring, time-honored notions of romance and love. The singer encourages their partner to be perfect in every way, right from their dimensions to the whiteness of their teeth. The singer ultimately reiterates their promise to be tender and gentle towards their lover in every possible way.
Line by Line Meaning
Well according to the shadows
Based on the length of our shadows, it's time for us to go home
We should be getting home
It's time for us to leave this place and go back to where we belong
According to the shadows
Our surroundings are getting darker, implying that it's getting late and we should leave
We should be getting on
We need to keep moving forward and not be stationary
With your lucky lucky fingers
Your hand movements bring good fortune
And your caterpillar eyes
Your eyes grow larger in fascination and curiosity
I promise to be gentle
I will treat you with kindness and care
And I promise to be nice
I will be pleasant and agreeable towards you
Some love is short, some love is long
Relationships have varying lengths, some brief and others drawn-out
Sing to the ghosts of a dream gone wrong
Reflect on the haunting memories of a failed dream
A new style hit the city
A fresh trend has made its way into the urban area
