People, lets get deeper in the structure of the song and its meaning:
Anita No! sounds similar to "I need to know". If you replace Anita with "I need to" in every sentence, the whole lyrics preserve a similar meaning in a personal way, except it now represents confusion in the singer: she has to repeat herself her own principles.

Phrases that repeat "I need to need to" suit with the styiling of the song as it can be seen in "hunt, hunt", "stunt, stunt", "sun, sun".

The woman in the normal lecture has a strong character, while this second lecture is someone who's insecure about love and wants something different to what she needs (related to her job as Olivia said or even her contradictory desires).

This two versions the pun offer us can happen together: Anita the hitwoman is in love, no one can notice, and the songs tell us the outside and inside perceptions at the same time.

This is a masterpiece, no matter if intended or not..

Lyrics:

Anita
Don't mind you need to know
Some things about this woman
This Anita

Anita
Don't find you
No one can control Anita
Need to be in charge

Anita need to teach you the recipe
Anita need to recycle D.N.A.
Anita need to reach you A.S.A.P.
Anita need to spell A.N.I.T.A.

Get out of the way
You're not in the hunt hunt
You're nothing the gun gun is looking at

Get out of the way
You're only a stunt stunt
You're nothing the gun gun is aiming at

Get out of the way
Go follow the sun sun
As long as the drum drum is rattling

Get out the way
Remember my name
Anita no!

Anita
Don't mind
If wrong or right
Anita need to kill
To make a living
Anita
Don't mind if wrong or right
Anita need to
Hit to be forgiven

Anita need to teach you
The A.B.C.
Anita need to dispose of Y or X
Anita need to reach you A.S.A.P.
Anita need to spell A.N.I.T.A.

Get out of the way
You're not in the hunt hunt
You're nothing the gun gun is looking at

Get out of the way
You're only a stunt stunt
You're nothing the gun gun is aiming at

Get out of the way
Go follow the sun sun
As long as the drum drum is rattling

Get out the way
Remember my name
Anita no!

Get out of the way
You're not in the hunt hunt
You're nothing the gun gun is looking at

Get out of the way
You're only a stunt stunt
You're nothing the gun gun is aiming at

Get out of the way
Go follow the sun sun
As long as the drum drum is rattling

Get out the way
Remember my name
Anita no!

KEXP brings us so much great music. For those who say they discovered The Dø someplace or another, I discovered them right here, on KEXP.

[musicuniverse]

The Do are one of the best bands I’ve seen on KEXP.

[Berkanann]

I am in love with this. And with 'Keep your lips sealed' since I discovered them last year.
The band has a great synergy and energy, and she is simply sublime and mesmerising in every way.

Week 2 of 2022, have this one on repeat. Will carry me through the rest of the week for sure. Btw, every now and then I'll push my headphones to 11 and just rock my socks off while working behind my desk. I'm so glad I'm able to watch these artist truly enjoying themselves in their performances.

[Nemesa]

When the theme was uploaded, here it was summer. I missed it and the band was completly unknow for me until tonight.
Third song from them I had listened to and really glad to have discovered this french band. That´s what I call a good winter. :)
Big Thanks & greetings from Spain!
