Take Me Down
Black Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have lost my balance, I must sit down
In the state I am in I feel no pain
I pull the trigger, the bullet enters my brain
Take me down, take me there
Take me where I want to go
Leave me be, set me free
I′d leave a trail of destruction behind
In my eyes I could do no wrong
I'd shoot a man to match him bleed
At the blink of an eye
Feeling nothing as he dies
Take me down, take me there
Take me where I want to go
Leave me be, set me free
Free to see that place that's nowhere
I hear you call, your calling me
Calling me to join you all
Take me down away from here
I hear his voice he′s calling me to join him
To join him down in hell
Take me down, take me there
Take me where I want to go
Leave me be, set me free
Free to see that place that′s nowhere
The lyrics to Black Symphony's "Take Me Down" describe someone who is feeling lost and hopeless, and contemplating taking their own life. They feel disoriented and unable to think clearly, and are experiencing a sort of emotional numbness where they don't feel any pain or attachment to the world around them. The singer of the song is looking for an escape, a place they can go where they won't have to deal with the pain they're feeling.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be taken to this place of escape, away from the pain and chaos of the world. The singer wants to be left alone and set free from their troubles, and to find a place that's "nowhere," meaning it's beyond the reach of the physical and emotional world.
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn, with the singer expressing a desire to cause harm to others. They speak of leaving a trail of destruction behind them, and being willing to shoot someone without remorse. However, even in this state, the singer still wants to be taken away from their current reality and transported to a place of peace.
Overall, "Take Me Down" deals with themes of depression, isolation, and a desire to escape from pain.
