Take Me Away
Lash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah,
Get up, get out
Move on, move on, there's no doubt.
I'm all wrong and you're right
It's all the same with you
I'm too thin, too fat
You ask why
So do I, so do I, so do I, so do I

On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Don't want to grow up,
I want to get out
Hey take me away
I want to shout out
Take me away away away away away,

Around, around here we go again,
It's the same old start
With the same old end
And I turn my head, and turn it back again
It's the same old shit, never ends

Do this, do that
Can't deal, can't deal with that
I'll tune in, tune out
I've heard it all before
Hello, goodbye
You never asked me why, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Don't want to grow up,
I want to get out
Hey take me away
I want to shout out
Take me away away away away away,

Around, around here we go again,
It's the same old start
With the same old end
And I turn my head, and turn it back again
It's the same old shit, never ends

Yeah, Yeah
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Don't want to grow up,
I want to get out
Hey take me away
I want to shout out
Take me away away away away away,
Don't want to grow up,
I want to get out
Hey take me away
I want to shout out
Take me away away away away away,

Around, around here we go again,
It's the same old start
With the same old end




And I turn my head, and turn it back again
It's the same old shit, never ends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lash's song Take Me Away seem to express a longing for escape from a monotonous and suffocating routine. The song starts with a call to action for the listener to get up and move on, with the realization that the singer is "all wrong" and the other person is "right." This could refer to a perceived power dynamic in a relationship or it could be more introspective, with the singer feeling inadequate or trapped by their own self-doubt. The repeated phrase "so do I" reinforces the idea that the singer is similarly confused and unsure.


The chorus is a desperate plea to be taken away from this mundane existence, with the singer longing to shout out their frustration to the world. The repetition of the phrase "take me away" suggests that this is a recurring desire, and that the singer feels trapped or stifled in their current situation. The second verse repeats the refrain that "here we go again," reinforcing the notion that this cycle of monotony is never-ending, with the same old start and the same old end. The singer seems to want to escape this pattern but feels powerless to do so. The final repetition of the chorus, with a slight variation on the last line to "don't want to grow up, I want to get out," encapsulates the desire to break free from the expectations and obligations that come with adulthood and find a new path.

Disney shoulda put in credits ORIGINAL: BY LASH or something. Disney messed up not giving credit to lash for take me away because no one could barely hear beauty queen.

@MikiGo88

@maffieduran

Not really, they never do that in films when a cover plays, but they do give songwriting and composing credits, which I think they did.

I can't believe that I've loved this song since Freaky Friday came out in 2003 and they only made this music video available on Youtube this month.

@rectaldischarge

actually this video was uploaded to the lead singer's main channel back in 2015 but it just got taken down a few months ago by WMG
