Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planets spinning (uh)
The force from the beginning
ooooohhhohoh
We've come too far to give up who we are
She's up all night to the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
The present has no ribbon
Your gift keeps on giving,
What is this I'm feeling?
If you wanna leave I'm with it (ah)
We've come too far to give up who we are
So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
She's up all night to the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to the sun
We're up all night to get some
We're up all night for good fun
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
We're up all night to get lucky
(We're up all night to get

We're up all night to get (let's get funked again)
We're up all night to get lucky

The lyrics to Meg Birch's "Get Lucky" may seem straightforward at first glance. However, upon closer examination, the song contains several layers of meaning. The song starts with an allusion to the legend of the Phoenix, a mythical bird that is said to have risen from the ashes after bursting into flames. This symbolizes how all things come to an end and begin anew, which ties into the rest of the song's theme of new beginnings.
The next lines, "What keeps the planets spinning / The force from the beginning," suggest that the force of the beginning of the universe is what causes the planets to rotate. This line could be interpreted as a metaphor for how the first step towards achieving one's goal is what keeps them moving forward.
The chorus lyrics, "We've come too far to give up who we are / So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars," is a call to embrace one's identity and continue striving towards their goals. The mention of "raising the bar" could imply that the singer is hoping to exceed their own expectations and set a new standard for themselves.
Finally, the repetitive nature of the phrase "up all night to get lucky" seems to suggest that the singer is putting in a lot of effort towards achieving their goal and staying up all night to make it happen. The line "She's up all night for good fun / I'm up all night to get lucky" could be interpreted as a comparison between two different types of people: one who is up all night simply for fun, and another who is focused on working towards something tangible.
Overall, the lyrics to "Get Lucky" convey a message of perseverance, self-discovery, and hard work. The song encourages listeners to embrace who they are and continue striving towards their goals.
