Take Me Back
Gu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Julie Miller)

Take me back, take me back, take me back to your heart
Can't you love me again like you did at the start?
There's a weight on my shoulders and I know I can't win
Take me back, take me back again

I would call you to plead but I don't have the nerve
'Cause the thing that I need, I do not deserve
The way I was careless with your trust was a sin
Take me back, take me back again

If my love was fire, it would burn this house down
With all of the lies that were told
But it's only a fever that burns me inside
From the longings of a broken-down soul

Now the wind's blowing through and it's crying for me
'Cause it knows I was not what I wanted to be
And the sky must be sorry, 'cuase it's starting to rain
Take me back, take me back again

If my love was fire, it would burn this house down
With all of the lies that were told
But it's only a fever that burns me inside
From the longings of a broken down soul

Take me back, take me back, take me back to your heart
Can't you love me again like you did at the start?




There's a weight on my shoulders and I know I can't win
Take me back, take me back again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Take Me Back" by GU Featuring Cei-Bei revolve around the desire of the singer to rekindle the love that was once between them and their partner. The opening lines "Take me back, take me back, take me back to your heart" emphasize the singer's longing to return to the love that once existed. The next lines question the inability of the partner to love them again with the same intensity, which hints that the singer may have caused their love to fade away.


The singer acknowledges their mistake and the weight of it on their shoulders in the lines "The way I was careless with your trust was a sin / Take me back, take me back again." The repetition of the phrase "Take me back" in the chorus symbolizes the singer's desperation to regain the love.


The bridge of the song talks about the consequences of the singer's actions. The line "If my love was fire, it would burn this house down / With all of the lies that were told" suggests that had the love been intense enough, it could have destroyed everything they had built. However, it is only a fever that burns the singer within, from the longings of a broken-down soul. In the end, the singer hopes that the sky and the wind, representing the elements of nature, understand their regret, as they seek forgiveness from their partner.

You can't even add subs?
Y: Hello
JYP: Now that we're meeting like this...
Y: Its been 4yrs
JYP: 4yrs and we meet again like this.
YG: He grew a lot in 4yrs right?
JYP: I'm looking forward to your performance
YG: Yedam is also good with his studies. He was first in his whole school. And on top of that, he sings well.

Yedam: I felt a burden. I didn't want to disappoint anyone. I hope to show a brighter image.

After performance

Seungmin: I like his low pitch
JYP: Bang Yedam is indeed, Bang Yedam. Your ability to understand music since you were young. You know the songs feelings and characteristics. I'm really surprised of your ability. That middle register is really hard to make for it to sound nice and when you go high onto high notes, then back to middle register, that was really amazing strength. You're definitely not a bad vocal. You did well. I have high expectations of you.
