Neem Me Mee
3JS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
niemand op je wacht
wordt je kussen nooit zo zacht
maar dat ben ik vergeten
Kijk maar niet meer achterom
Sla de hoeken om
Word geen deel van mijn geweten
Laat me los en loop voor je leven
Overleef me en vergeet
Wil je zekerheid? Meisje breek met mij
of neem me mee
Alle mensen om je heen
leven met je mee
Ze heroveren jouw geest
de komende jaren
Tot het het zekere moment
dat jij vergeten bent
dat wij even samen waren
Laat me los en loop voor je leven
Overleef me en vergeet
Wil je zekerheid? Meisje breek met mij
of neem me mee
Twijfel niet! De schijn bedriegt
Ik zou je pijn beschrijven in een lied
Ga maar heen laat mij alleen
Bevrijd van mij zal jij 't beter krijgen. Of niet?
Laat me los en loop voor je leven
Overleef me en vergeet
Wil je zekerheid? Meisje breek met mij
of neem me mee
Laat me los en loop voor je leven
Overleef me en vergeet
Wil je zekerheid? Meisje breek met mij
of neem me mee...
The song "Neem Me Mee" by 3JS touches upon the idea of separation and breakups. The first few lines suggest the loneliness that comes with being left alone in the middle of the night, without anyone to hold you close. However, the singer says that he has forgotten about that feeling. He then urges the other person to not look back and move on with their life, without being burdened by their past together. The chorus repeats the phrase, "let me go and run for your life, survive me and forget, want certainty? girl, break up with me or take me with you." Essentially, the singer is giving the other person two choices: either leave him and move on or take him with her as a way of attempting to hold on to their relationship.
The verses also seem to touch upon the idea of dealing with others' opinions and judgments after a breakup. The people around you may sympathize with you or blame you for the ending of your relationship. The singer suggests that at some point, the past fades away, and people forget that you were ever together. He also mentions that one should not be misled by appearances as he would describe the pain of separation through his music. The song is emotional and heartfelt, conveying the idea of choosing between moving on or holding on in a relationship.
