Take Me Over
Cut /// Copy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh did you see me falling,
In and out of love.
Uh I can hear it calling,
Uh did you see me falling,
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle through the night in paradise, paradise
To the jungle,through the night forever.
All the things in only on the screen
That's the way to live
City's memories promise stereo
But don't sleep, now it's time to go
Uh I can hear you calling
Uh, did you see me falling.
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle through the night in paradise, paradise
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle,through the night forever.
You may not notice now, what people talk about you
Some people think that we're running away
I'll push the ?
It's all I ever done, so give me a reason to stay.
Uh, uh
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle through the night in paradise
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle through the night forever, uh
The lyrics of Cut /// Copy's "Take Me Over" portray the desire to escape from the mundane and experience adventure. The opening lines, "Uh I can hear it calling / Uh did you see me falling," create a sense of longing and anticipation. The chorus further emphasizes the desire to explore by asking to be taken over and out to the jungle, promising paradise and an eternal night.
The second verse uses technology as a means to escape from reality, with the lyrics "All the things in only on the screen / That's the way to live." However, the verse ends with a call to action, telling the listener not to sleep and to seize the moment. The bridge acknowledges the criticism one may receive for seeking adventure and running away, but ultimately asks for a reason to stay.
The lyrics of "Take Me Over" are complemented by the upbeat tempo and tropical instrumentation used in the song. The combination of electronic and world music elements creates a sense of wanderlust and optimism. The song was released in 2011 as part of Cut /// Copy's third album Zonoscope and was a commercial success, reaching the top 40 in countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom.

Do you hear that voice inside your head
Whispering to live your dreams instead?
Some people cling to what they know
But I woke up, now it's time to go
Ooh, I can hear it calling
Ooh, did you see me fall in.
Take me over
Now take me out
Give me something
To dream about
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle through the night in paradise, paradise
Take me over, take me out
To the jungle through the night forever...
