Take Me Home
Ocie Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burning through my mind
Some of them are on fire
Some are just unkind
I turn my TV on, I want to go blind
The words scroll through my head and I get so resigned
Take me home
Take me home
I don't want to stay
Dark clouds formin'
Over foaming seas
And the notes are foldin'
And the winter's freezin'
We learned, we steal our honey from the bees
I hear that buzzin' every time I'm not at ease
Take me home
I don't want to stay here
Take me home
I don't want to stay
And as soon as I'm on
With the now in mind
I see it as one step at a time
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I don't want to stay here
Take me home
I don't want to stay here
Take me home
I don't want to stay here
Take me home
I don't want to stay
Ocie Elliott's song "Take Me Home" talks about the overwhelming thoughts in someone's mind that affect their ability to see the beauty of the world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how difficult it can be to deal with the heavy thoughts and how the only solution is to be taken back to the supportive environment of home. The first stanza of the lyrics highlights how the thoughts are just too much to bear and how they make one even want to go blind. The second stanza speaks to how the world can be a dark and unforgiving place, and how, in moments of weakness, one is reminded of the harsh reality.
The chorus repeated throughout the song emphasizes the desire of the singer to be taken back to a place where they feel safe, secure, and can heal. The last part of the song speaks to how sometimes the complexities of the world can be simplified by taking one step at a time. However, it is still clear that the struggles of the world make it difficult to find peace.
Overall, "Take Me Home" is a song that reflects the struggles and mental health challenges that many people face daily. It puts into perspective how complicated the world has become and how this complexity can adversely affect people's thoughts and emotions.

The words scroll through my head and I get so resigned
Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay
Dark clouds forming over foaming seas
And the notes are folding, and the winter’s freezing
We learned, we steal our honey from the bees
I hear that buzzing every time I’m not at ease
Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay
And as soon as I’m on, with the now in mind
I see it as one step at a time
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay

Love you and your music, can't believe your channel got so lowkey. I knew your music through Apeiron Mix.
I'm working as a Paralegal and the workload just drives me crazy, listening to your music keep me calm and focus.
Hope one day you will be recognized and famous.
Thank you.
Best regards,

No, they don't have to be famous like other artists out there. Let's enjoy it to ourselves and consider it as our appreciation for having a great music taste that led us to find them here.
