Take Me Away
Alex.N Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always wanted to die in my sleep
So for once I wouldn't feel the pain again
I stood there waiting for the last time
For him to take me away
All these demons inside my head
Are eating me from inside
I write these songs so I can escape from myself I hate this place
Pretending to be okay is killing me slowly

Maybe life isn't for everyone that's what they said me
I wish you could hear all the words I am too afraid to say
I can't...
I tried
I'm just tired you know

I am just fucking tired
This hurts like hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alex.N's song Take Me Away express deep sadness and the singer's desire to end their suffering. The first lines reveal a wish for a painless death, as dying in one's sleep means not feeling any pain. This desire can be interpreted as a sign of desperation and the wish to escape from a reality of chronic emotional or physical pain. The mention of "demons inside my head" implies that the singer struggles with mental health issues and the lyrics suggest that they cope with them by writing songs as a way to escape from their own reality. The words "I hate this place" underline a strong feeling of dissatisfaction with the current situation and the wish to get out of it.

The lyrics continue with the singer's inner battles: they feel like they have to pretend to be okay even though it is slowly killing them. The line "Maybe life isn't for everyone that's what they said me" echoes the thoughts of those who suffer from depression and suicidal ideations. This suggests an inner dialog that is fatalistic and hopeless, indicating that the singer feels like there is no way out. They long for someone to hear the words they are afraid to say, but they cannot bring themselves to speak them aloud. The repeated use of the word "tired" points to a state of exhaustion that goes beyond physical fatigue, indicating the strain of dealing with inner turmoil.
