O'Day Anita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you
repeat 2nd verse, then repeat 1st verse
"Fly Me to the Moon" by O'Day Anita is a romantic song about escapism and love. The lyrics are quite straightforward and essentially a request to be taken away from reality into a world of wonder and excitement. The first line sets the stage for the entire song, asking someone to whisk her away to explore the stars and the universe, an act that is incredibly fanciful and imaginative. The second line and subsequent lines about spring on Jupiter and Mars only serve to re-emphasize this desire for imaginative freedom.
Anita then asks her partner to hold her hand and kiss her, offering herself up to be swept away by them. This request for affection emphasises her desire for love and connection. In the next few lines, she speaks of filling her life with song, and letting her sing forevermore, an expression of the joy that she feels in the company of her lover. She then speaks of her undying devotion to her partner, describing them as all that she hopes for, worships, and adores. Finally, the song ends with a simple declaration of love to her partner.
