Miss Kittin & The Hacker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the past, me and you
Dj plays deja vu
As we were in 82
I see your face fade to grey
Just wait for the blue monday
Imagine you're dancing
I just can't get enough
I don't want a tainted love
I want something from above
But don't go
Just play me moscow discow
Let's go to the rendez vous
Of the past, me and you
Dj plays deja vu
As we were in 82
The song "1982" by Miss Kittin & The Hacker is a nostalgic ode to a past era of electronic music. The chorus, "Let's go to the rendez vous of the past, me and you," suggests a desire to go back in time to relive a moment in the past when the music was simpler, and the feelings were pure. The DJ plays deja vu, setting the tone for the listener to be transported to 1982. The lyrics evoke imagery of dancing like a robot as a tribute to the man-machine sound of electro-pop music.
The lyrics also reference iconic songs from the era, such as "Blue Monday" by New Order and "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell. The lyricist expresses a desire for something more transcendental than just these songs, a feeling that can only be described as "something from above." Despite this, the listener is implored to stay and dance some more to other classics like "Moscow Discow."
The song's lyrics, combined with the electronic beats and retro synths, evoke a sense of nostalgia for those who were around during this time, while also serving to educate younger listeners about the classic sounds of the 80s electro-pop era.

Let's go to the rendez vous
Let's go to the meeting place

To the meeting place of our past selves
Dj plays deja vu
The DJ plays a sense of familiarity
As we were in 82
Like we were in the year 1982
I see your face fade to grey
I see your face turning from vibrant to dull
Just wait for the blue monday
Just wait for the depressed feeling to pass
Imagine you're dancing
Visualize yourself dancing
you're a robot, man machine
You dance like a machine, with precision and control
I just can't get enough
I can't get enough of this feeling
I don't want a tainted love
I don't want a love that's corrupted or bad
I want something from above
I want something divine or spiritual
But don't go
But please don't leave
Just play me moscow discow
Just play the song Moscow Discow for me
Let's go to the rendez vous
Let's go to the meeting place
Of the past, me and you
Of our past selves
