The song "Movies" by Morten Harket is about a man who feels lonely and sad because he doesn't have anyone lying next to him. He observes that while the world around him is filled with glamour and excitement, he is missing out on the simple pleasure of having someone to share his life with. The lyrics describe his woman as "so fine" and "lonely" and reassure her that she will shine despite the challenges she faces. The song touches upon the themes of marital secrets, desire to escape, and a yearning for intimacy. The references to red carpets and pianos playing "Summertime" reflect the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and the entertainment industry. However, despite the allure and power of these institutions, the protagonist is unable to find happiness and companionship in his personal life. The repeated line, "And the turtle is safe in the Caribbean Sea," alludes to the fact that even the simplest and most insignificant creature like a turtle is living a peaceful and content life in comparison to the protagonist. The song ends on a mournful note, emphasizing the loneliness and isolation felt by the singer as he longs for someone to share his life with.
