Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And break away the night
Show me colour, show me light
I don't wanna stay here all alone
Take me home now take me home
Take me home
Home
I feel it coming near
End of the show
My part is over here
Please let me go
Take me back
Taking back
All the things I've done
You are the only one
Mun han áiggon álo boahtit du lusa
Arvedálkis leat don boade fal sisa
Hello Hello
I'm looking for my heart
Can't be the only one
Take me home
Cause I'm losing my mind
I've been running in circles all my life
If I could I would go back in time
Ná váldde ruoktot
Take me home
Take me home
Cause I'm losing my mind
I've been running in circles all my life
If I could I would go back in time
Ná váldde ruoktot
Take me home
Take me home
I know the day is here
It's time to go
I'm leaving with no fear
Please hear me now
Take me back
Taking back
All the things I've done
You are the only one
Mun han áiggon álo boahtit du lusa
Arvedálkis leat don boade fal sisa
Hello Hello
I'm looking for my heart
Can't be the only one
Take me home
Cause I'm losing my mind
I've been running in circles all my life
If I could I would go back in time
Ná váldde ruoktot
Take me home
So take me home
I'm running, I'm running in circles
Do I belong right here
If I could I would go back in time
Ná váldde ruoktot
Take me home
De Guovdageaidnu, jua
In diede goas, goas beaivi boahta go ferten vuolgit fás
Lea go áigi dollet go beaivváš jávka mu váimmus
Dego dat muohta mii suttái gal diibma
Áigi dat boahta in guovlla gal diimmu
Váldde mu ruoktot ja ligge mu sielu

The lyrics of Take Me Home by KEiiNO are a plea to leave behind a place the singer feels stuck in. The repetition of the phrase "Take me home" emphasizes the desire to escape. The first verse mentions breaking away from the night and seeking color and light, indicating that the singer feels trapped in darkness and dullness. The second verse brings up the end of a show and the desire to leave, suggesting that the singer might feel like they've played their part in something and no longer belong there.
The chorus repeats twice, with a variation that adds "I'm losing my mind" the second time around. This repetition emphasizes the urgency and instability of the singer's situation. The final verse introduces a new element: the singer now seems to be aware that they have to leave and are asking to be taken home. Here, home seems to be a place of safety and peace, offering a way to "take back all the things I've done" and be with the person the singer is addressing ("you are the only one").
Overall, the song Take Me Home is about the universal desire to find one's place in the world, to connect with others, and to be free from the constraints of the present. It's a powerful message conveyed through heartfelt lyrics and a catchy dance beat that is impossible to resist.
