TAKE ME HOME
Jamie Winchester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the deepest cold is in my heart
Loving eyes that trust completely
Loving hands to hold in mine
Everything I left behind me
We've grown so far apart
I built the walls that grew around me
Always looking in the wrong place
Searching for the way they say
Now I understand I need to
Find my way back home
I can feel a change is coming
Now my soul can sing and dance
Maybe now my life begins again
If you'll
give me a chance
I said
Take me home
From he cold
Take me home
Take me home
I hope the little ones forgive me
I pray the pain
won't last too long
Nothing I can say can make it
Seems like everything's ok
Now I understand I need to
Find my way back home
I can feel a changes is coming
Now my soul can sing and dance
Maybe now my life is begins again
If you'll give me a chance
I said
Take me home
From the cold
Take me home
Take me home
The lyrics to Jamie Winchester's song "Take Me Home" convey the heart-wrenching emotions of an individual who has found themselves feeling detached from their loved ones and desiring to find their way back home. The opening stanza aptly expresses the sense of desolation that the singer feels as the softest snow falls around them, which contrasts with the deeper cold within their heart. The use of imagery in the first lines creates a visual of a cold wintry landscape that echoes the singer's internal state of mind.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the actions that led to their estrangement from their family and friends. The lyrics "I built the walls that grew around me, watered the thorns around my soul" indicate that the singer engaged in the behaviors that made it difficult for them to connect with those they loved. The use of metaphor in this passage emphasizes the difficulty of the predicament that the singer finds themselves in by portraying it as hostile terrain. The subsequent lines, “Now I understand I need to find my way back home,” suggest that the singer recognizes that their self-motivated actions have led them astray, and they must work to find their way back.
The chorus features the repeated phrase "Take me home" which conveys the idea that the singer wants to put their past behind them and be welcomed back into the loving embrace of their family and friends. There is a hint of regret in the lyrics "I hope the little ones forgive me, I pray the pain won't last too long," indicating that the singer is aware that their actions have had consequences that may be difficult to mend. The song ends on a hopeful note with the reassurance that a change is coming and perhaps with the willingness of those at home to give the singer another chance.

Haha, olyan, mintha 20 évvel fiatalabbak lennétek, pedig csak... várj megnézem... basszus, ez pont 20 éves o.O Tisztán emlékszem rá, hogy ez az első albumotok akkora hatással volt rám, hogy arra nincsenek szavak, ilyen zene akkoriban nem volt itthon (most se nagyon). Rendesen megírt, kitalált, élő hangszeres popzene, profi zenészek által előadva. De jó is volt :)
