Take Me
Paul Stanley/Sean Delaney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lookin' back on all of my memories
And my mind was dreamin' like it does
She wore white and in the night we made love
Together, I remember, together as one
It came so easy but now it seems so long ago
My chance is fading into night
Together, I remember, together as one
Together, I remember, together as one
Yesterday is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I've been what never will be
Check me in, to lose or win, I'm livin' memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
We lived each moment as if the days would never end
It seemed our lives had just begun
I can't stay, I'll make my way on the run
Together, I remember, together as one
Together, I remember, together as one
Yesterday is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I've been what never will be
Check me in, to lose or win, I'm livin' memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
Yesterday is far away, so take me out to sea
Far away, I've been what never will be
Check me in, lose or win, livin' memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
In the song "Take Me Away," Paul Stanley reflects on past love and memories. He starts off by describing how his eyes were burning, as he looks back on his memories. He remembers a woman who he was in love with, represented by the color white. He reminisces about how they made love together, and how it felt like they were one. However, he realizes that it was so easy back then, but now it seems so long ago. The chance he had is now fading away, and he cannot change what he has done.
The chorus repeats the phrase "yesterday is far away, so take me out to sea," which is symbolic of leaving behind the past and moving forward. He says that he has been what never will be, meaning that he has had experiences that cannot be repeated. He accepts that he is living with memories and he is checking into them, whether he wins or loses. The drift begins, and he is dreaming of something new that will set him free.
In the second verse, Paul Stanley reflects on how they lived each moment as if the days would never end. It felt like their lives had just begun, and they were filled with hope and love. However, he has to let go and move on. He concludes by saying that he cannot stay; he must make his way on the run. The memories will stay with him, but he must move forward and start a new chapter in his life.

My eyes were burnin'
I was feeling intense emotions
Lookin' back on all of my memories
Reflecting on my past experiences
And my mind was dreamin' like it does
My imagination was running wild
She wore white and in the night we made love
I had a passionate experience that I remember fondly
Together, I remember, together as one
We were united in that moment
It came so easy but now it seems so long ago
It feels like it happened a lifetime ago
My chance is fading into night
My opportunity for that experience is gone
I can't change or rearrange what I've done
I can't alter the past
Yesterday is far away, so take me out to sea
I want to escape from my thoughts of the past
Far away, I've been what never will be
I've experienced things I can never have again
Check me in, to lose or win, I'm livin' memories
I'm letting go of control and reliving memories
The drift begins, the dream of it sets me free
I'm escaping reality and living in my memories
We lived each moment as if the days would never end
We lived in the present without worrying about tomorrow
It seemed our lives had just begun
We were young and full of life
I can't stay, I'll make my way on the run
I can't live in the past, I have to move forward
