Take Me Higher
Jennie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can barely breathe
Don't you see
Don't you see
Rip of my skin
Doesn't matter it's too thin
It's too thin

Take me away
Take me away (Away)

Nothing's right
Feel like nothing is right
So unlovable
So unlovable

Take me far away
Take me far away
Far away
Ooo
Take me
Take me far away
Far away

Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Doesn't matter when

Heart wears thin
Got no friends
Crying alone
Got no home

Heads fogged up like a cloud
Heads fogged up like a cloud
Like a cloud

Erase my mind




Erase my mind
Till I feel fine

Overall Meaning

In this particular song, Jennie describes the emotional state of someone who is struggling with various forms of personal distress. From the opening notes, Jenie sets the tone with an intense and emotional vocal performance, indicating that this song is about pain and suffering. The first two lines, “I can barely breathe, don’t you see,” give the impression that the singer is suffocating under the weight of some burden, and the repetition of “don’t you see” implies loneliness or a feeling of being misunderstood.


Jennie then goes on to suggest that she is not only emotionally fragile but also physically weak, depicted in the line “rip off my skin, doesn’t matter, it’s too thin.” The use of vivid imagery makes it clear that her pain runs too deep, and it's damaging her at an alarming rate. The chorus “take me away” sung repeatedly, is the singer's cry for help, indicating that she needs someone to take her away from the pain she's going through, while also suggesting a desire to improve her current state of being.


The second verse alludes to the fact that her troubles are so overwhelming that they take up every day of the week, “Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, doesn’t matter when.” The line “crying alone, got no home" highlights the loneliness and isolation she faces as she battles her inner demons. The final lines of the song “erase my mind till I feel fine” imply that the singer desires to forget everything that has happened and start anew.
