Take Me Away
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's there inside, all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew
What would you do?
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
'Cause no one understands
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away
I'm going nowhere (on and on and)
I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on)
Take me away
I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on)
And off and on
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable, come and take me away
Take me away
Break me away
Take me away
In "Take Me Away," Avril Lavigne sings about her inner turmoil and confusion that she feels nobody can understand. She cannot find a way to describe the pain that she is going through, and it seems like it's always there, lurking inside her. She wishes it would simply go away, and wonders what others would do if they knew what she was going through. The chorus talks about how she feels alone and unable to cope with the confusion she is feeling. She pleads for someone to take her away and break her out of this cycle of pain and confusion.
The lyrics of the song are melancholic and vulnerable, which might resonate with many people who feel lost or hurt. The lyrics convey a message of inner turmoil that is hard to put into words, and how sometimes we feel completely alone, even when surrounded by people who care about us.
