Take You There
Dive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One more try
One more chance
Let me show you that I have been trying
And I'll yake you there
Yeah, I'll take you there
One more try
Let it go
There is more than what I have been showing
I'll take you there
Yeah, i'll take you there

And she's that girl with the evil smile she loves to show
She's taking pills for the pain, no one ever has to know
And with that look in her eyes
She's tearing me up inside
She finds her pleasure in pain
One touch will drive you insane
And she knows

One more time
Take control
There is more and you're dying to show it
I'll take you there
Yeah, I'll take you there
Well have your way
Take control
It's your face, I can never deny it

I'll take you there
Yeah, i'll take you there

And she's that girl with the evil smile she loves to show
She's taking pills for the pain, no one ever has to know
And with that look in her eyes
She's tearing me up inside
She finds her pleasure in pain
One touch will drive you insane
And she knows

Yeah, cause she will pull you deep inside
She is that one you can't den
Don't try to fight
Cause you're the one she wants tonight

And she's that girl with the evil smile she loves to show
She's taking pills for the pain, no one ever has to know
Yeah, and with that look in her eyes
She's tearing me up inside
She finds her pleasure in pain




One touch will drive you insane
And she knows

Overall Meaning

The song "Take You There" by Dive is about a person trying to gain a second chance to prove his commitment to a relationship with someone who he has hurt in the past. The lyrics "One more try, one more chance, let me show you that I have been trying" and "let it go, there is more than what I have been showing" convey this plea for forgiveness and a desire to rekindle the love that they once had. The singer assures that he will take the person to the place they want to be if they give him a chance, as indicated by the repetition of "I'll take you there, yeah I'll take you there."


However, the singer also describes a girl who is seemingly hurting herself through drug abuse and is tearing him up inside with her actions. The lyrics "She's taking pills for the pain, no one ever has to know", "She finds her pleasure in pain", and "one touch will drive you insane" suggest a self-destructive behavior that the singer is unable to resist. He knows that this girl is not good for him, but she has a hold on him that he can't shake off, as indicated by the lyrics "Don't try to fight, cause you're the one she wants tonight."


Overall, the song conveys a message of redemption and forgiveness, but also acknowledges that sometimes a person can be caught up in a toxic relationship that they are unable to walk away from.
