Take Me●
●Papa Roach Lyrics

The lyrics of "Take Me" by the American rock band Papa Roach is all about longing to be accepted and included. The repeated verses of "Take me and let me in, don't break me and shut me out" signify the singer's cry for help and yearning to be accepted by someone despite all the pain and suffering. The lines "I lit my pain on fire and I watched it all burn down, Now I'm dancing in the ashes and there's no one else around" show that the singer has been through unbearable heartbreak or trauma and has burnt their past to the ground but is now left alone to deal with the aftermath.

The song also reads as a personal conversation between the singer and anyone else who has experienced similar pain. The chorus "Does anyone around me feel the same, put your fist up and vent your pain" is a call to those surrounding the singer to connect with him/her and share their experiences. The lyrics are written with such raw emotion that it's quite evident that the song touches upon something very personal to the band members. The line "my souls in a coma and none of my friends can tell" exemplifies this and probably refers to how they keep their pain bottled up inside, thus causing them to feel numb.
