Take Me
(OST Prison Break)Papa Roach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't break me and shut me out
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
I lit my pain on fire
and I watched it all burn down
and there's no one else around
Cause I want to be apart of something
This is just a story of a broken soul
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
I'm burning in the heavens
and I'm drowning in the hell
My souls in a coma
and none of my friends can tell
I'm reaching out of getting something
This is just a story of a broken soul
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
Don't shut me out
Does anyone around me feel the same
Just put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
Does anyone around me feel the same
Put your fist up and vent your pain
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
So take me and let me in
Don't break me and shut me out
As days go by, my heart grows cold
I can't seem let this all pass me by
Take me
Don't break me
The lyrics in Papa Roach's "Take Me" seem to convey a sense of longing for acceptance and belonging. The repeated phrase "take me and let me in, don't break me and shut me out" shows a desire to be included and not excluded from something. The first verse talks about lighting the pain on fire and watching it burn down, which could mean letting go of previous hurt and moving forward. The singer is now "dancing in the ashes" but is alone. This could mean that the singer has let go of past hurt but is still looking for connection and community.
In the second verse, the singer is "burning in the heavens and drowning in hell" and their soul is in a coma. This could mean that the singer feels like they are both experiencing highs and lows, yet they are not fully present in either experience. They are still "reaching out of getting something," again showing a longing for company.
The bridge of the song suggests that the singer is looking for others who feel the same way as they do - people who need to vent their pain. This could suggest that the singer is still feeling pain and is looking for a way to express it and to connect with others who understand. Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of emotional vulnerability and a longing for acceptance and companionship.
