Take Me Home
King Jack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

the only road to death of night
where many characters drew my line
it's full of noise that hiding song
the life it's fated when I look into the sun
oooover
oh ooover
a plenty lights picking up on me
refused taxes of the liberty

the cold travel on the fish it's wrong
I'm getting closer
to watch the sun
take me home
into the golden horizon
into the light
take me home
into the golden horizon
the only road to the death of night
where all the characters saw their lives
l guess they all need another try but there ain't no wait until ()
ooover
oh ooover
oh oh ooover
I'm getting closer
to watch the sun
take me home
into the golden horizon
into the light
take me home
into the golden horizon
take me home
into the golden horizon
into the light
take me home
into the golden horizon
horizon
ooover
oh ooover
oh oh ooover

I'm getting closer to watch the sun.
(end)

Overall Meaning

King Jack's song Take Me Home is a reflective piece about the end of life's journey and the inevitable arrival at the doors of death. The only road leading to the death of night has seen many characters pass through it, drawing lines that signify the end of their stories. The road is full of noise that conceals the song of life, but the singer is determined to look into the sun and accept their fate. The lights of life, including the taxes of liberty, slowly get dimmer as the singer gets closer to their destiny.

The song's chorus is a plea to be taken home, into the golden horizon of the afterlife. The singer knows that the road may be the only one leading to death but is also a gateway to a new beginning. All the characters who have passed through the road know that they need another try, but there is no waiting until that time arrives. As the song comes to an end, the singer gets closer to the sun, possibly referring to the arrival at the destination.

This song is a metaphorical take on the end of human life, and the journey that leads to it. The lyrics can be interpreted in different ways, but the overall message seems to be that we must accept the inevitability of death while remaining optimistic about what may follow.
