Yes
Katja Maria Werker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

take me with you
take me with you
take me with you
to the water
take me with you
take me with you
through the fire
the jukebox jingles "conception"
we're melting
we're riding
right into the eye of the storm

the carpet reminds me of something
we're rising
we're falling
I got you and you got me

take me with you
take me with you
take me with you
to the water
take me with you
take me with you
take me with you
through the fire

my breath dampens your shoulder
we're swinging
we're drifting
shipwrecked to a salty shore

your skin is painted by sunlight
we're sailing
we trickle away
I can feel your heartbeat

take me with you
take me with you




take me with you
to the water

The image of riding into the eye of the storm creates a sense of excitement and anticipation, as if they are unafraid of the challenges they may encounter.


The final stanza is the most sensual, as the singer describes the physical sensations of being with her partner. Her breath dampens his shoulder, their skin is painted with sunlight, and they can feel each other's hearts beating.
