Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's time to fly around and i say
no more walking hand in hand in the park
it's time to fly around and i say
let me know when you're back in control
when you exit again and i say
would it be so bad to be alone
for a while and smile when i say
The lyrics to Rasmus's song Tonight Tonight showcase the artist's resolve and determination to move on and pursue their dreams despite the fear that comes with taking a leap of faith. The opening line, "now that you know that committing is hard" implies that the artist has learned from past experiences and realizes that true commitment requires effort and sacrifice. The following line, "it's time to fly around and I say" represents the artist's desire to break free from the limitations of commitment and explore the world around them.
The phrase "no more walking hand in hand in the park" represents the artist's acknowledgment that committing to someone means giving up some freedom and personal time. The repetition of "it's time to fly around and I say" emphasizes the artist's desire for independence and the need to pursue their dreams without any limitations.
The lyrics "let me know when you're back in control, when you exit again" suggest that the artist is leaving the option open for their loved one to come back into their life once they have figured out what they want. The final line, "would it be so bad to be alone for a while and smile when I say" represents the artist's willingness to take a chance and be alone for a while, as long as they can smile and be happy while doing it.

My favorite song from this album. It's a shame, that it's so short. It should be longer!
