Take Me Away
Blue ضyster Cult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never seen 'em though I hope I might
Don't ask if they are real
The men in black, their lips are sealed
Fantasy fills my mind
To leave this place before my time
Release myself from earthly care
[Chorus]
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I'd like to know before I die
Memories will slowly fade
I lift my eyes and say
Come on take me away
Come on take me away
Come here girl close to me
A thousand stars your eyes can see
First one we see tonight
I wish I may I wish I might
[Chorus]
Jam
[Chorus]
I lift my eyes and say
Come on take me away
The lyrics of Blue Öyster Cult's song Take Me Away explore the idea of escapism and the desire to leave behind the mundane, earthly world and venture into the unknown. The singer is intrigued by the strange shapes that light up the night and longs to see them for himself. However, he acknowledges that the men in black - possibly a reference to government agents or extraterrestrial beings - will not reveal their secrets. The line "fantasy fills my mind" suggests that the singer's thoughts are consumed by the possibility of escape and he yearns to be released from the constraints of his mortal existence.
The chorus expresses the singer's hope that he will discover the truth before he dies, and reflects on the fleeting nature of memories. The line "my dream may be your nightmare" indicates that what the singer perceives as an ideal outcome may not be the same for others. The verse where the singer addresses a girl and asks her to join him on his quest to see the stars reinforces the theme of escapism, as they plan to leave everything behind and explore the unknown together.
Overall, the lyrics of Take Me Away convey a sense of wonder and longing for something more than the mundane, earthly existence that the singer finds himself in. The song encourages the listener to embrace their curiosity and desire for adventure, and to pursue the unknown without fear.

Strange shapes light up the night
Unfamiliar forms illuminate the darkness
I've never seen 'em though I hope I might
Though I've never witnessed them, I desire to do so
Don't ask if they are real
Please do not inquire about their existence
The men in black, their lips are sealed
Those who know are keeping silent
Fantasy fills my mind
My thoughts are consumed by imagination
To leave this place before my time
To depart this world earlier than scheduled
Release myself from earthly care
Free myself from the burden of living
My dream may be your nightmare
What I desire could be frightening to another
I turn my hopes up to the sky
I direct my aspirations towards the heavens
I'd like to know before I die
I want to be aware of the truth before I pass away
Memories will slowly fade
Recollections will gradually disappear
I lift my eyes and say
I raise my gaze and speak
Come on take me away
Please transport me elsewhere
Come here girl close to me
Approach me, my dear
A thousand stars your eyes can see
You can perceive thousands of constellations with your eyes
First one we see tonight
The initial star we view this evening
I wish I may I wish I might
I yearn for a wish to be granted
Jam
Musical interlude
I lift my eyes and say
I raise my gaze and speak
Come on take me away
Please transport me elsewhere
