Take Me
Kingsley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know just what you want tonight
Your shadow your silhouhtte
Is all I find inside me head
You see me your little smile
I know just what you want tonight
I follow into your car
I know just what it's gonna be
Take me take me there I don't care
I know what it means for you and me
You want me come take me
And tell me where you want to go
I follow into your room
You tell me the things you want to do
You see me my heartbeat
Your hands know where they want to go
You shadow is back again
Please tell me why can't we be friends
Just friends oh friends
Take me take me there I don't care
I know what it means for you and me
Don't take me with all your words
I know what this is gonna be
You love him my best friend
It'll never be the same again
The lyrics to Kingsley's song "Take Me" depict a tense and possibly taboo encounter between two individuals. The song seems to be told from the perspective of someone who is willing to engage in a physical relationship with another person, despite the potential consequences or complications. The first verse sets the scene for this encounter, with the singer acknowledging that the other person knows what they want and is in control of the situation. The second verse builds on this tension, as the singer follows the other person into their room and is told what they want to do.
What's particularly interesting about these lyrics is the sense of resignation and desire that seems to be at play. The singer seems to know that this isn't necessarily a good idea - they mention that the other person loves their best friend, suggesting that there may be a pre-existing relationship that could be jeopardized. At the same time, however, they are unable to resist the pull of the other person's desire and the promise of excitement and adventure. In some ways, the song seems to be an exploration of the darker side of romance, where two people are drawn together despite the potential for hurt and betrayal.
Overall, Kingsley's "Take Me" is a song that explores the complicated emotions associated with physical attraction and desire. It is a powerful and evocative song that pulls the listener in with its haunting melody and emotionally charged lyrics.
