All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning (uh)
The force of love beginning

The lyrics of Pharrell Williams and Daft Punk's song "Get Lucky" are suggestive of the idea of living life freely, experiencing love and romance, and never giving up on one's identity. The first line, "Like the legend of the phoenix, all ends with beginnings," aims to express life as a continuous cycle of death and rebirth. The phrase, "What keeps the planet spinning (uh) the force of love beginning," is a subject of a debate among music enthusiasts. Some believe that the force of love mentioned pertains to the music that brings people together while others think it's more abstract, representing the universal power that controls everything.
The chorus "We're up all night to get lucky" refers to their pursuit of a romantic experience, which they define as the ultimate prize. The song's protagonist states, "She's up all night 'til the sun, I'm up all night to get some," indicating that he is willing to be up all night to do everything he can to be with her. The main message of this phrase is that love, connection, and intimacy are worth the effort, which is likely to inspire people to take chances and risks in their love lives.
Overall, the song's message is about valuing your true identity, pursing love, and allowing yourself to feel pleasure and enjoyment. The primary goal is to affirm the idea that following our impulses and desires could bring life's ultimate pleasures.
