Take Me Over
House Of Glass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A fucking mess, a strange allure, I start
Over-analyzing what had came before
A simple crack, a closing door, but I
Get this feeling, ever-fleeting thirst for more
I’ll break my neck to answer for what I
Can’t explain and can’t contain
For what I tried to rectify
But I can’t erase it
I’ll take it from your hands
Just to throw things out of balance
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
I can’t help but notice
That my heartbeat is frozen
Split me open and fix it
Leave my body defenseless
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
Drag my feet and scuff my knees
I’m losing time, I can’t define
What’s wrong or right, like a
Dirty mirror, disappearer
Burned alive, mortalized
Open wide, I spit
All my contents at your feet
And wait to see if you’re pleased
Suddenly, I watch
Everything evaporate into the trees
I understand it all in an instant
I’ll take it from your hands
Just to throw things out of balance
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
I can’t help but notice
That my heartbeat is frozen
Split me open and fix it
Leave my body defenseless
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
You split me open and fix it
Leave my body defenseless
Wash me over to forget
I’m losing sight of the context
The lyrics to House Of Glass's song "Take Me Over" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and a desire to escape from a difficult situation. The opening lines, "Broken vessel overflow onto the floor, A fucking mess, a strange allure, I start," depict a metaphorical representation of someone feeling shattered and unable to control their emotions. The mess serves as an intriguing and captivating aspect, drawing attention and fascination.
The singer of the song finds themselves over-analyzing past events, trying to make sense of a simple crack in a relationship or a door being closed. They experience an ever-fleeting thirst for more understanding, going to great lengths to answer for something they can't explain or contain. There seems to be a struggle to rectify the situation, but regardless of their efforts, they are unable to erase the pain or confusion.
The chorus, "I'll take it from your hands, Just to throw things out of balance, Wash me over to forget, I'm losing sight of the context," expresses a desire to take matters into their own hands and disrupt the status quo. They seek a way to escape and be cleansed from the overwhelming confusion, losing sight of the original meaning or purpose in their actions.
The second verse speaks of the singer's awareness of their frozen heartbeat, a sign of emotional stagnation. They feel lost and unable to determine what is right or wrong, comparing themselves to a dirty mirror that conceals true reflection. The request to be split open and fixed indicates a willingness to be vulnerable in order to find resolution. Despite spilling out their thoughts and emotions for the other person, there is uncertainty about whether they will find satisfaction or approval.
The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the desire to be washed over, seeking release from the confusion that has clouded their perception of reality. The song ends on a note of intense self-awareness, suggesting a sudden revelation and a full understanding of everything. However, this understanding is tinged with a sense of urgency to be fixed and made whole again, leaving their body defenseless.
Overall, "Take Me Over" explores themes of emotional chaos, the desire for escape, and the struggle to find clarity in a confusing and challenging situation. It portrays a fragmented state of mind and the yearning for a fresh start or a reset button to regain a sense of purpose and understanding.
