Fly Me to the Moon
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
The lyrics to Westlife's song "Fly Me to the Moon" are all about romance and longing. The first verse sets the scene for the song, with the singer asking to be taken to the moon and beyond, to explore the unknown and see things in a new light. This is a metaphor for the feeling of falling in love and the excitement and possibilities that come with it. The second verse is more direct, with the singer asking for their lover to hold their hand and kiss them, and to fill their heart with song. They declare their love and express their desire to be with this person forever. The song ends with the singer asking their lover to be true and affirming their love.
The use of the moon and stars as a metaphor for love and romance is a common theme in music and literature. It represents the idea of something distant and unattainable, yet beautiful and alluring. The line "Fill my heart with song" is a powerful metaphor for the way that love can inspire and uplift us, filling our hearts with happiness and joy. The repeated use of the phrase "In other words" gives the song a sense of yearning and desperation, as if the singer is struggling to find the right words to express their feelings.

In my opinion, Westlife was seriously underappreciated - and its songs like this and the album it comes from that showcase their tremendous talents. Beautiful!
