Around the World
Naked 'round the Block Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
were sweet
i didn't blink
i let it in my eyes
like an exotic dream
the radio playing songs
that i have never heard
i don't know what to say
just-lalalalala
it goes around the world
just- lalalalala
it's all around the world
just lalalalala
and everybodys singing
lalalalala
and now the bells are ringing
lalalalalalal...
inside an empty room
my inspiration flows
now wait to hear the tune
around my head it goes
the magic melody
you want to sing with me
just -lalalalala
the music is the key
and now the night is gone
still it goes on and on
so deep inside of me
i long to set it free
i don't know what to do
just can't explain to you
i don't know what to say
oh not another word
the kisses of the sun
around... around... around the world
The lyrics of "Around The World" by Naked 'round the Block are quite straightforward and can be interpreted in different ways. The song starts with the singer musing about the sweet kisses of the sun and how he/she let them in without blinking, enjoying them like an exotic dream. The radio is playing unfamiliar songs, and the singer cannot find the words to express how he/she feels about it.
As the chorus kicks in, the singer repeats "lalalalala" and emphasizes how the melody travels around the world, with everybody singing the same tune, and bells ringing in the background. The second verse takes place in an empty room where the singer finds inspiration to create music. The magic melody wants to be sung, and the music is the key. As the night disappears, the song lingers deep inside the singer, making him/her long to set it free. However, the singer confesses that he/she doesn't know what to do or say.
One interpretation of the song is that music is a universal language that transcends borders and connects different cultures. The melody of the song is so catchy and accessible that it travels around the world, and everybody can join in the chorus, despite not understanding the lyrics. The inspiration of the artist comes from within, and the music flows like magic.
Another interpretation could be that the "kisses of the sun" represent inspiration, and the singer is struggling to find the words to express his/her feelings. However, music comes to the rescue, and the melody carries the message and emotion across the globe.

This song means The World to me. Like, I even felt a Sharp Knife on my neck when I listen to this. The instrumentals and vocals are pure Platinum. I don't know how they didn't became a Star after they made this cover.
