Take Me
Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for the day to go under
Inside the great big ocean
We look for the origin
We're riding, riding and we wonder
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've get out again
For the big wheel's spinning around ?out ancestries found
Take me down ?to where the water flows
Take me up ?to where the big wind blows
And make me melt inside of you
Take me out ?come on and take me into
We're passengers of time
Succeeding our fathers
We're standing in a queue and we rack
Our brains over riddles, problems and solutions
At any day we reach the track
Science and progress can't open the chain
At any day we've get out again
All we know is that
We really don't know nothing at all ?face to the wall
Take me down ?to where the water flows
Take me up ?to where the big wind blows
And make me melt inside of you
Take me out ?come on and take me into
The lyrics of Fool's Garden's song "Take Me" contemplate the concept of time and the fleeting nature of life as people ride on a boat of time into the future while waiting to go under. The singer ponders the great big ocean and looks for the origin, wondering about the reason for the big wheel's spinning around and attempting to find a way to break the chain that science and progress can't seem to open. As passengers in time, succeeding our fathers, we stand in a queue and rack our brains over riddles, problems, and solutions, but despite all our knowledge and advancements, all we know is that we really don't know anything at all.
The song seems to express a desire to be taken away from the mundane reality of life, to where the water flows and the big wind blows, to melt inside of someone or something, and to be taken out into something greater. Perhaps this is a commentary on the limitations of human understanding and the yearning for something beyond ourselves. The poignant lyrics and stirring melody of "Take Me" evoke a sense of introspection and a search for meaning in a world that continually surprises us with its mysteries.
