Take Me Home
COLLINS (Phil) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm

So I
I don't mind
No, I
I don't mind

Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point in escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off the light
But I
I don't mind
No, I
I don't mind
Oh, I
I don't mind
No, I
I don't mind

So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh Lord
'Cause I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh, but I know who they are
And I
I don't mind
No, I
I don't mind
Oh, I
I don't mind
No, I
I don't mind

So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh Lord
Well, I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

But I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home

'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home

Overall Meaning

In the song "Take Me Home," Collins sings about an ordinary man who is just trying to survive. The man is aware of the problems around him, but he doesn't let that get him down. The lyrics suggest that this man has been living in darkness for far too long and that he is ready to find a way out. The man knows that he is not alone in his struggles, and he draws comfort from the fact that there are others out there who are just like him.

The lyrics are about a man who is struggling to survive in a world that is full of darkness and uncertainty. Despite this, the man remains hopeful that he will find a way out of his current situation. The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as the man pleads for someone to take him home because he no longer remembers what it feels like to be free.

Overall, "Take Me Home" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the struggles that many people face in their everyday lives. Collins' voice perfectly captures the tone of the lyrics, making this one of his most powerful songs.

Line by Line Meaning

Take that look of worry
Don't be concerned about me

I'm an ordinary man
I live a simple life

They don't tell me nothing
I have to find out things for myself

So I find out all I can
I'm resourceful and curious

There's a fire that's been burning
I'm amidst a tumultuous situation

Right outside my door
It's close to me

I can't see but I feel it
I sense it although I can't see it

And it helps to keep me warm
It provides me comfort and solace

So I
Therefore, I

I don't mind
I'm okay with it

Seems so long I've been waiting
I've been waiting for a while

Still don't know what for
But I'm not sure what I'm waiting for

There's no point in escaping
I can't get away from my situation

I don't worry anymore
But I've stopped worrying

I can't come out to find you
I'm unable to leave to meet you

I don't like to go outside
I don't enjoy going out

They can turn off my feelings
They have the ability to suppress my emotions

Like they're turning off the light
Similar to shutting off a light switch

So take, take me home
Please take me home

'Cause I don't remember
Because I can't recall

Take, take me home, oh Lord
Help me return home, Lord

Well, I've been a prisoner all my life
I've been captive my entire life

And I can say to you
And I want to tell you

Mine's an ordinary life
My life is typical

Working when it's daylight
I work during daytime hours

And sleeping when it's night
And I rest at night

I've got no far horizons
I don't have any far-reaching ambitions

I don't wish upon a star
I don't have any lofty goals

They don't think that I listen
They assume I don't pay attention

Oh, but I know who they are
But I'm aware of who they truly are

Well, I've been a prisoner all my life
I've been captive my entire life

But I don't remember
But I can't recollect

I'm 41 with a deep sense of nostalgic depression.

Whilst I never listened to this song when I was in my younger years, I had noticed that my Father had this album maongst many of his records.

I finally discovered this gem several years ago and it gives me a deep sense of wistful longing.

I want to simultaneously cry tears of joy and sadness, and I really want to go back to the 80s, even though I keep telling myself that it is impossible and that nostalgia is just part of the exploratory journey of self-discovery that is life, for one and all.

Despite all of that, the longing deep within me is a constant.

Please put Phil Collins in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame already. He seriously deserves it. All his songs are great and have meaning. Peter Gabriel was inducted twice once with the band Genesis, in 2010 and in 2014 as a solo artist. Phil Collins deserves that honor also as a solo artist.

Take me home, to see the old farm once again where I grew up, to talk to my mum and dad one more time, to see my brother one more time, before he rode of on his motorcycle, never to come back again…. Such a long time ago… this song takes me back, and I do remember. I saw Phil do this live at a concert in Nijmegen,Holland, a few years ago. Such a great experience! Thank you, mr. Phil Collins

I was 23, wide eyed, totally excited about the future, and I was on my first flight to the US. It was on a TWA, smoking section of course, and this song was playing on one of the radio stations on offer. I can't describe the feeling I was experiencing, I remember it being sunny, cheerful, and just happy. Every time I hear it now I am transported to that moment. I've had a great life in the US, it has been home since. But I do wonder sometimes what life would've been like if I had stayed in Europe.

Take me home to the mid '80's just for a couple of days please. I just wanna watch Joe Montana play for the 49ers one more time. Watch the Celtics Vs Lakers. Have a Winchell's doughnut. See my Grandparents one more time. Go to my old western themed McDonald's and have a McDLT. Play with my childhood dog Maggie. Play baseball in the backyard with my brothers and neighbors. Watch an original airing of Night Court. Say hi to my friend Billy (he got in the middle of bar fight trying to help his friend like a year after high school and lost his life). Ride my bike up to Tower Records and buy some cassettes. Back then all I wanted to do was be a grownup. If only I knew.

Take Me Home is the greatest song of all time. No, that is not an opinion....it is a fact. Let me prove it. Phil Collins, Sting and Peter Gabriel are in it for starters. All legendary vocalists. The name of the song 'Take Me Home' is something that no matter where are in your life, either big or small is something we all want. It can mean you just want to go home right after work after a stressful day, that you miss your childhood, or are reminiscing of the good old days. To those living with something terminal, it could mean that they want to see God. This song can be played during a joyous moment, or a deeply sad moment, or anything in between. It checks ALL the boxes as the perfect song. Facts only, folks.

I was 20 when this song came out. The best time in my life. The melody makes me want to go back there to the happy days, and it's so beautiful it makes me cry.
This melody is a real masterpiece. It has a sound that makes you feel the whole planet is united in a magic nostalgic way.
