Take Me to a Higher Plane
Kate Nash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel worried that my brain is just a fool in your sick game
So I will never open my heart
I try to express how I feel
But it changes every day and so I'm finding it hard

Let's take life nice and easy
We could go somewhere breezy
But it gets so complicated
Everyone I fucking hated is in this room!

And I need to get away
And I can't escape, (I can't escape)
And I was thinking today
That I should think about taking

My life
My life
To a higher plane!
To a higher plane!
To a higher plane!
To a higher plane!

And I need to get away
And I can't escape, I can't escape
And I was thinking today
That I should think about taking

My life
My life
To a higher plane!
To a higher plane!
To a higher plane!




To a higher plane!
To a higher plane!

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Kate Nash's "Take Me to a Higher Plane" expresses anxiety and fear that the singer's brain is nothing but a pawn in some sort of twisted game this person is playing. Because of these feelings, the singer feels cautious about putting themselves in a position to get hurt. Despite this, they still try to express their emotions to varying degrees of success as feelings seem to shift from day today. In the next verse, the singer suggests getting away somewhere breezy; however, things have become complicated as they find themselves in a room full of people they detest.


The chorus is a call to elevate one's life to a higher plane, suggesting the singer is tired of feeling trapped and needs to break free from their current situation. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes their desperation to move to a different stage of their lives, one where they feel safe and in control.


"Take Me to a Higher Plane" is a sobering song about the feelings that come with being trapped in a situation that one despises. It talks about the need to break free and find ways to protect oneself from the hurt that often accompanies toxic situations. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of self-care and the need to take control of one's life.
