Take Me
Anakelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking over all the things you said to me
You said to me
All your dreams are dying in the sun
Pretty soon there'll be nowhere left to run away
To run away
You packed your bags to leave by the morning
It's never or now
It's never or now
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Memories of a life I leave behind
Take a souvenir to remind me of
The ones that love
Feel my heart it beats like a stopwatch
Running out of time with each tick tock
It's never or now
It's never or now
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Baby won't you take me
Baby won't you take me with you
With you
The song "Take Me" by Anakelly seems to be about the singer's fear of being left behind and alone. This fear is indicated in the first verse when she is "Thinking over all the things you said to me," and "All your dreams are dying in the sun. Pretty soon there'll be nowhere left to run away." It is possible that the "you" in the song refers to a lover who is leaving the singer behind to pursue their own dreams. This is reinforced by the second verse, where the singer mentions "Memories of a life I leave behind."
The chorus of the song, "Baby won't you take me with you, with you. Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight," reinforces the singer's fear of being alone. It is evident that the singer is willing to leave behind memories and the life she has known to escape being alone. The switch between the words 'never' and 'now' in the second verse creates a sense of urgency and desperation.
Overall, the song's lyrics may resonate with listeners who have experienced the fear of being left behind by someone they love. The song is a powerful plea to be taken along on a journey and not to be left behind.
