Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The kisses of the sun 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, oh, not another word

Just la la la la la, it goes around the world
Just la la la la la, it's all around the world
Just la la la la la, it goes around the world

Just la la la la la, it's all around the world
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la
It's all around the world just
Just la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la

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

Just la la la la la
(La la la la la, la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la, la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la, la la la la la la la)
It's all around the world
Just la la la la la, it goes around the world
Just la la la la la, it's all around the world
Just la la la la la, it goes around the world
Just la la la la la, it's all around the world
Just la la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la
It's all around the world just
(La la la la la)
(La la la la la)

(La la la la la)
(La la la la la)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to R.O.Y.'s song "Around the World" describe a feeling of pure joy and contentment that comes from experiencing the beauty and wonder of the world around us. The singer describes how they allowed themselves to bask in the warmth of the sun, soaking up the experience like a dream come true. The music playing on the radio is new and exciting, filling the singer with a sense of wonder and delight.

However, as the night falls, the feeling of joy and wonder remains, and the singer longs to set it free. They don't know what to do or how to explain the feeling to others, so instead, they simply repeat the "la la la" refrain, which seems to capture the essence of the emotion they are experiencing.

Overall, the song's lyrics are about the power of experiencing the world around us and the feeling of joy and wonder that can come from that experience. The use of the "la la la" refrain emphasizes the idea that words can sometimes fail to express the depth of our emotions, and that sometimes, it's enough to simply revel in the beauty of the world.

The kisses of the sun were sweet, I didn't blink
I enjoyed the warmth of the sun's rays without hesitation

I let it in my eyes like an exotic dream
I absorbed the sun's rays as though in a fantasy

The radio playing songs that I have never heard
I heard songs on the radio for the first time

I don't know what to say, oh, not another word
I am at a loss for words
