take me home
(Erik MartenssonMagnus HenrikssonMiqael Persson)
(Frontiers recordsOyez!KashKow Music)
The days and the weeks, they pass like the wind
I've been lost and a stray for too long
Wasted so many years, no answers are found
Like the man I've become
Take me home, take me home
To the place where my heart belongs
To my father and mother
My sisters and brothers
Too long I've been gone
Take me home
I am broken and beaten, I run from the past
But the ghosts they are all in my head
Now the answer is there in front of my eyes
A whisper that came from the dead
Take me home, take me home
To the place where my heart belongs
To my father and mother
My sisters and brothers
Too long I've been gone
Take me home
Back to the place where I once lost you
Where we promised we'd walk together
Right through shine and stormy weather




Back to the place where it all began
I still believe in us forever

Overall Meaning

In Eclipse's song Take Me Home, the lyrics are full of emotion and vivid imagery. The song appears to be about a person who is lost and struggling to find their way. It starts with the lyrics "take me down 6 underground, the ground beneath your feet, laid out low, nothing to go, nowhere a way to meet." These lines seem to suggest that the person is feeling isolated and alone, and they are searching for someone or something to help them find their way.


The next verse, "i've got a head full of drought down here, so far off of losing out round here," seems to indicate that the person is feeling overwhelmed and helpless. They need someone to "calm me down, bring it round, too way high off your street." The person they are addressing seems to be someone they admire or see as a source of comfort.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more desperate. The person is asking to be talked down and made to feel safe, as they are "too strung up to sleep." They are willing to take whatever is given to them, yet it is not enough, and they are open to "falling from grace." The song ends with the repeated lines "i fake my life like i've lived too much, i take whatever you're given; not enough, Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace." These words serve to reinforce the idea that the person is feeling lost and is searching for something to fill the void in their life.


Line by Line Meaning

take me down
I want you to bring me to a lower emotional state


6 underground
I want to be below the surface level of emotions


the ground beneath your feet
I want to be close to you


laid out low
I need to be vulnerable with you


nothing to go
I don't have any other options


nowhere a way to meet.
I don't know how to connect with you


i've got a head full of drought down here
I'm emotionally empty inside


so far off of losing out round here
I feel like I'm losing my chance with you


Overground, watch this space I'm open to falling from grace.
I'm taking a risk to be with you


calm me down bring it round
I need your help to find peace


too way high off your street
I'm out of my comfort zone being with you


i can see like nothing else in me you're better than I wannabe
You inspire me to be a better person


don't think 'cos i understand i care,
Just because I understand you doesn't mean I don't care about you


don't think 'cos i'm talking we're friends
Just because we're talking doesn't mean we're automatically friends


talk me down safe and sound
I need you to help me feel secure


too strung up to sleep wear me out scream and shout
I'm too anxious to rest


swear my time's never cheap i fake my life like i've lived too much,
I feel like I'm always on the clock and I'm pretending to be someone I'm not


i take whatever you're given; not enough,
I'll accept whatever you offer me, but it's not fulfilling


to falling from grace.
I'm willing to risk losing everything for a chance with you
