Take Me
Nicky Romero Colton Avery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can get your share of sleeping when you're older
Boy, the night is young
He said think of all the temptations that's waiting for you in the dark
Oh, I'm trying, I'm trying, my best to be good
But Lord, it's getting hard
Take me to the heaven I know
And the neon cross glows
Take me to the alter tonight
Go and bathe me in the water
Drown me in the light
Oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
Take me, take me there, oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
Feeling all my good intentions fading with the setting sun
I'm trying to fight my demons, but the truth is they've already won
I'll pay the price tomorrow for the crazy things I do tonight, yeah
What is it about this time tonight, that makes these wrong things feel so right
Right, right, right, whoa
Take me to the heaven I know
Where the angels all dance
And the neon cross glows
Take me to the alter tonight
Go and bathe me in the water
Drown me in the light
Oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
Take me, take me there
Take me, take me there
Oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh
Take me to the heaven I know
I know, I know, I know
The lyrics of "Take Me" by Nicky Romero feat. Colton Avery explore the inner struggle of doing what's right versus giving in to temptation. The singer is battling the devil on his shoulder who encourages him to let go and enjoy the moment. He's feeling the pull of all the "temptations" waiting for him in the dark, but he's trying his best to resist. The chorus then switches to a plea to be taken to a "heaven" where he can let go of his worries and indulge in the pleasures of life. The repetition of "Oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh" in the chorus gives the sense of being enraptured by the experience.
In the second verse, the singer's "good intentions" are fading as night falls. He wants to resist his demons, but it seems that they have already won. He knows that there will be consequences for his actions, yet he can't resist the pull of the moment. The repetition of "right, right, right, whoa" at the end of the verse almost seems like an affirmation of giving in to temptation.
Overall, this song captures the fleeting feeling of wanting to let go and indulge in the moment, while also acknowledging the internal battle between right and wrong.

Nicky and Galantis are some of the few EDM producers that no matter how popular, don't follow trends.
THEY CREATE THEM
@amizzletwo
Marcel Saldaña and they don’t switch up future bass
