Take My Hand
Noah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold my hand as I'm lowered
And please don't see me as a coward
For death, I do not forsake thee
Though your dark stare is always upon me

Well, I fell in love with a world in you
Well, I fell in love with a world in you
O Death, do not feel like the victor
'Cause my poor life makes you none the richer
Oh, your cold hands are clutching at cloth
I leave nothing on Earth that won't rot

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
Well, I fell in love with the world in you

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel cold





Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel holier

Line by Line Meaning

Hold my hand as I'm lowered
Please hold my hand as I am lowered into the grave


And please don't see me as a coward
Do not judge me as a coward for choosing death


For death, I do not forsake thee
I do not reject death as my fate


Though your dark stare is always upon me
Even though death is always looming over me


Well, I fell in love with a world in you
I found comfort and belonging in the idea of death


O Death, do not feel like the victor
Do not triumph, Death, over my passing


'Cause my poor life makes you none the richer
You gain nothing from taking my short, insignificant life


Oh, your cold hands are clutching at cloth
The cold touch of death is reaching for me


I leave nothing on Earth that won't rot
I have no possessions or legacy lasting beyond my death


And now I feel cold
Now that death is near, I am filled with a chilling emptiness


And now I feel holier
In the face of death, I feel cleansed and purified
