Take Me Away
Destination Anywhere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so cold tonight
And I can't stop to think about
Why I'm not coming out
My cage
I'm feeling numb
I'm feeling dumb
I would give everything to be strong
I am always on my own
Searching for something to hold on
Would someone come
And take me away
There's nothing that holds me
Take all the pain
And throw it far from me
I don't want me
And I am blind
Cause I can't see
What I would leave behind so
Take me away
There's nothing that holds me
Take all the pain
And throw it far from me
I don't want me
And I am blind
Cause I can't see
What I would leave behind
Tried to be like the others are
I am standing way too far
Too far away
Who waits for me
Take me away
There's nothing that holds me
Take all the pain
And throw it far from me
I don't want me
And I am blind
Cause I can't see
What I would leave behind so
Take me away
There's nothing that holds me
Take all the pain
And throw it far from me
I don't want me
And I am blind
Cause I can't see
What I would leave behind

I'm holding a candlelight
I am clutching a source of illumination
It's so cold tonight
The temperature is quite low
And I can't stop to think about
I am unable to cease pondering regarding
Why I'm not coming out
The reason I am not emerging
My cage
My state of confinement
I'm feeling numb
I experience a lack of sensation
I'm feeling dumb
I am experiencing a sense of stupidity
And I had no one for so long
I remained without companionship for an extended period of time
I would give everything to be strong
I am willing to surrender everything to obtain strength
I am always on my own
I am constantly by myself
Searching for something to hold on
I am in pursuit of something to grasp
Would someone come
I yearn for the arrival of another
And take me away
To remove me from existence
There's nothing that holds me
I am free from all attachments
Take all the pain
To take hold of every agony
And throw it far from me
To cast it at a great distance from myself
I don't want me
I do not desire to exist as myself
And I am blind
I am unable to perceive
Cause I can't see
Because my ability to see is nonexistent
What I would leave behind so
What I would discard as a result
Tried to be like the others are
Attempted to emulate the nature of others
I am standing way too far
I am physically distant
Too far away
Distant beyond reasonable means
Who waits for me
Who lingers for my arrival
