Take Me Away
My body burns like there's a desert deep in me
A thirsty soul so unsatisfied
But there you are like a river to the sea
The one chance I have to change my life. Darlin'
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I've ever been before
Show me that there's something more
Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped inside myself
Spinning wheels up and down, round and round
Going nowhere just like everybody else
With no touch, no sight, no sound. but you could
Take me away from here
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I've ever been before
Show me that there's something more
Give me hopes and dreams to fill my head
Push my heart so I can fly again
Take me away from here
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I've ever been before
Show me that there's something more
Take me away from here
Take me away from here
Take me away from here
The song “Take Me Away” by Mix Factory is a soulful plea for escape from the struggles of everyday life. The opening verse describes a feeling of emptiness and thirst, with the singer searching for something to fill the void. The lyrics suggest that the singer has found this in the form of another person, who is compared to a river flowing to the sea. This person represents a chance for the singer to “change my life,” offering an escape from the monotony and meaninglessness of existence.
The chorus is a repeated plea for this person to “take me away,” to transport the singer to another time and place, to make him a different man and show him that there is “something more” out there. The second verse reinforces this message of feeling trapped and directionless, with the singer feeling as though he is “spinning wheels up and down, round and round” with nothing to show for it. But the hope represented by the chorus suggests that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, a chance to break free from the confines of everyday life and find something more meaningful.
Overall, “Take Me Away” is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the universal human longing for escape and meaning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer’s struggles and desires, offering a message of hope and possibility for listeners who may be feeling similarly lost or stuck.

I’m 49. This seldom left my Technics decks back in the 90’s.
The synth line gave me goosebumps and made my eyes tear up back then.
It still does now.
