Take Me Over
Peking Duk ft Safia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stimulation amplifies, you know
You need to stay behind
And not let me walk where the transit lights are
Tremors down my spine
Felt it for the hundredth time
When I'm trapped and I can't not fly
And you don't own me
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
See, I wanna go outside
Guess I got to feel alive
And I don't want to live this fight
And don't let me home to where the transit lights are
Passions are confined
Feel like this heart ain't mine
Don't need to walk the line
I'll break this grand design
I feel closer
I feel closure now
And I am gonna break down
Chase the moment
Take me over now, now
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now

See, I wanna go outside
I want to break free from my usual routine and do something different
Stimulation amplifies, you know
Being exposed to new things makes me feel more lively and engaged
You need to stay behind
You should stay where you are and not try to come with me
And not let me walk where the transit lights are
Don't let me go to the crowded and busy parts of the city
Tremors down my spine
I feel a jolt of excitement or fear
Felt it for the hundredth time
This feeling is familiar, but it still affects me deeply
When I’m trapped and I can't not fly
When I'm feeling stuck or limited, I want to break free and soar
And you don’t own me
I am my own person and I make my own decisions
Take me over, take me tonight
Let me experience something new and exciting tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Stop just dreaming about it and take action to make it happen
Chase the moment
Seize the opportunity and enjoy the present moment

See, I wanna go outside
I still want to experience something different and break out of my usual routine
Guess I got to feel alive
I need to feel like I'm really living life, not just going through the motions
And I don’t want to live this fight
I don't want to struggle or feel like I'm in a constant battle
And don't let me home to where the transit lights are
Don't let me go back to the overstimulating and crowded parts of the city
Passions are confined
My interests and desires feel limited and restricted
Feel like this heart ain't mine
I feel disconnected from my own emotions and desires
Don’t need to walk the line
I don't need to follow the usual rules and expectations
I’ll break this grand design
I'll disrupt the usual patterns and expectations to find my own way
I feel closer
I feel like I'm getting closer to something important
I feel closure now
I feel like something is coming to a satisfying end or resolution
And I am gonna break down
I might experience a breakdown or emotional release as I pursue my desires
Take me over now, now
Let's go experience something new and exciting right now
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Stop just dreaming about it and take action to make it happen
Chase the moment
Seize the opportunity and enjoy the present moment
