Take My Hand
Opal Skies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just don't worry baby, that's what they told me
This existential crisis, that you're facing
It isn't real, why do I seem to be the only one
Who cares
That we might not have that much longer
To fix what we've done
The damage we cause will only bring our end
And when we know there is no hope
That's when the darkness begins
To emerge from the hearts
This emptiness you're feeling, will fade away
Just don't worry baby, that's what they told me
This existential crisis, that you're facing
It isn't real, why do I seem to be the only one
Who cares
That we might not have that much longer
To fix what we've done
I'm scared
The damage we cause will only bring our end
And when we know there is no hope
That's when the darkness begins
To emerge from the hearts
And then in the darkness
There's a light and I realise its you
You're holding your hand out
To save me from falling back into that place in my mind
And then in the darkness
There's a light and I realise its you
You're holding your hand out
To save me from falling back into that place in my mind
And then in the darkness
There's a light and I realise its you
You're holding your hand out
To save me from falling back into that place in my mind
And then you smile at me and you say, it will be okay
Although I don't trust you I can't help but let your
Love embrace my soul
But then I ask you why is there so much
Hatred in this world
You answer me softly by saying that its not
Meant to be this way
"Take My Hand" by Opal Skies explores themes of existential crisis, loneliness, and hope in the face of darkness. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and uncertainty that the singer feels, which they are told will eventually fade away. However, they question why they seem to be the only one caring about the limited time left to fix the damage caused by humanity.
The song acknowledges the fear of the consequences of our actions and the potential end they may bring. It suggests that when all hope seems lost, darkness emerges from within our hearts, reflecting the negative impact of our choices and behaviors. Yet, amidst this darkness, there is a glimmer of light. The singer realizes that someone, possibly a loved one, is extending a hand to save them from falling back into their own troubled thoughts.
The lyrics also touch upon the complex emotions the singer experiences. They express a lack of trust in the person offering them solace, yet they cannot help but let their love embrace their soul. The singer then questions why there is so much hatred in the world, and the response they receive suggests that it is not meant to be this way, implying that there is hope for a better future.
Overall, "Take My Hand" captures the internal struggle of the singer as they navigate personal and existential turmoil, while highlighting the importance of connection, love, and finding light in the darkness.

It's high quality stuff, very 'now' I think but with the rather timeless feel that comes with any well-heard and well crafted music. Great.
