Take Me Home
Cinema Sleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So we can be together, so we can be together alone
Tell me now have I passed my exit or have I yet to arrive
My driving has been so reckless, I'm surprised I still have my life
The cold wind blows, and I can see you in the rearview reminding me
Who I am,
What I used to call home,
I haven't been in so long. (x2)
I can see that my time is passing with the mile markers along the road
Replaying scenes in my head and hearing words that you spoke
To me when you were upset
I don't want to be
Something that you will regret
So tell me
Who I am,
Where I'm from,
What I used to call home,
I haven't been in so long. (x5)
The opening lines of Cinema Sleep's song Take Me Home depict a person who seems to be trying to break free from the world of noise and chaos around them. The singer of the song has a strong desire to be where they can be alone with their loved one. They wish to escape from the "brake lights and traffic cones" that represent the chaotic world outside and create a space where they can be together in peace.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes reflective and introspective. They question whether they have already missed their chance to be with the one they love or if it is still possible. The line "My driving has been so reckless, I'm surprised I still have my life" perhaps suggests that the singer has been taking risks and making impulsive decisions in their desire to be reunited with their loved one.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the singer is longing for a sense of rootedness and belonging. They want to know their place in the world and in relation to their loved one. The repetition of the lines "Who I am, Where I'm from, What I used to call home, I haven't been in so long" serves to underscore this sense of disconnection and longing for a sense of identity.
