The work of Ninja Sex Party typically consists of synthpop or rock-oriented humorous songs, frequently on the topics of sex, seduction, love, or fantasy, with Avidan and Wecht portraying the characters of Danny Sexbang, an idiotic, exuberant, and strangely-dressed hypersexual Jew, and Ninja Brian, an uncommunicative, homicidal ninja; however, their 2016 cover album, Under the Covers, saw them take on serious music for the first time. To date, NSP has released six original studio albums and two cover albums, in addition to three albums as a part of Starbomb, while also releasing original, non-musical material on their YouTube channel. NSP has also released a remix album, Level Up.
Take on Me
Ninja Sex Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, okay?
Take on me (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'm me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, things that you say, yeah
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Ninja Sex Party's cover of "Take on Me" is a fresh take on the classic a-ha tune. The lyrics are open for interpretation but there are a couple of themes that stand out. The song initially speaks of uncertainty, with the singer admitting that he doesn't know what to say or how to approach the subject. Despite this, he decides to take a chance and speak his mind anyway, promising to find the person he's interested in no matter what. This theme of taking a chance and having a "carpe diem" attitude is present throughout the song.
Another theme that is prevalent is the idea of learning about life and oneself. The singer admits that he's "odds and ends," depicting a feeling of confusion or not having everything figured out. However, he's okay with it because he is slowly learning that life is okay. He acknowledges that it's better to take risks and not play it safe all the time.
The entire song is a plea for a chance at love or connection, asking the person to take a chance on him. The repetition of the phrase "take on me" represents this desire to be taken on and experienced fully.
Overall, the song paints a picture of someone who is uncertain and confused but is still willing to take a chance on love and life. The idea of taking risks and living in the present is central to the song's message.
