Take Me From This Place
Amber Pacific Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only time could take away
The truth that lies beneath this pain
It brings me back to what I'd hope for this to be
But here and now, I'm on my own
I've lost the will to carry on
Please shine a light to guide me home

Will you take me from this place I call

My home's forever broken
I have nothing in this heart at all
This life seems meaningless, unspoken
Words can't convey
I'll move on anyway
I can't hide behind what I don't know
Have I lost it all?

If only time could take away
All the fights, the will to save
What was left behind, you know I tried
I tried to save this fate
But here and now, I'm on my own
For I have walked this road alone
I gave my best to let this fall

Will you take me from this place I call
My home's forever broken
I have nothing in this heart at all (Nothing in this heart at all)
This life seems meaningless, unspoken
Words can't convey
I'll move on anyway
I can't hide behind what I don't know
Have I lost it all?
Have I lost it all?

Will you take me from this place I call
My home's forever broken
I have nothing in this heart at all (Nothing in this heart at all)
Will you take me from this place I call
My home's forever broken
I have nothing in this heart at all (Nothing in this heart at all)

Will you take me from this place I call
My home's forever broken
I have nothing in this heart at all (Nothing in this heart at all)
This life seems meaningless, unspoken
Words can't convey
I'll move on anyway

I can't hide behind what I don't know
Have I lost it all?

If only time could take away
If only time could erase or eliminate

The truth that lies beneath this pain
The painful reality that is lurking underneath

It brings me back to what I'd hope for this to be
It reminds me of what I used to aspire for this to become

But here and now, I'm on my own
But currently, I'm facing this alone

I've lost the will to carry on
I no longer have the motivation to continue

Please shine a light to guide me home
Please give me guidance to find my way back home

Will you take me from this place I call
Can you save me from this situation I'm in

My home's forever broken
My personal life is permanently damaged

I have nothing in this heart at all
I feel empty and have no emotional connection

This life seems meaningless, unspoken
This existence appears pointless, undiscussed
