After the releas… Read Full Bio ↴Principe Valiente is a swedish post-punk/shoegaze band.
After the release of their debut album (2011) and the sophomore ”Choirs of Blessed Youth” (2014), Principe Valiente ventured deeper into the sonic landscapes of their minds. Drawing inspiration from ambient experimentalists like Cocteau Twins, 80’s sci-fi soundtracks as well as exuberant vocalists like Bowie and Kate Bush.
With their third album "Oceans" mixed by Jimmy Ottosson, the band has created another alluring world with human-all-too-human lyrics and phantasmal soundscapes. Cool and dreamy, yet impassioned and loaded with sweet anxiety. Partly recorded by producer Martin Ehrencrona (Les Big Byrd), and partly in various basements and art school lobbies around their hometown Stockholm, Sweden.
Take Me With You
Principe Valiente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in your eyes
I'll find my own direction
through the skies
to find, to find, to find.
Take me with you, tonight
I can't stand more loneliness
I can't make it on my own
Goodnight to everyone
I don't wanna stay
any longer
Please show me to the door
to get outside
I need to find, to find, to find.
Take me with you, tonight
I can't stand more loneliness
Take me with you, tonight
I can't make it on my own
I need to find, to find, to find.
Take me with you, tonight
I can't stand more loneliness
Take me with you, tonight
I can't make it on my own
But I won't pretend
I enjoy it more
than I do
Cause this time
I want to stay pure
and true to you.
To you.
And to me.
The song "Take Me With You" by Principe Valiente is a melancholic and vulnerable track that speaks to a deep sense of loneliness and longing for connection with someone else. The opening lines "I see my own reflection in your eyes / I'll find my own direction through the skies" suggest a desire to find oneself through the eyes of another, to be seen and known by someone else. It speaks to the idea that we often define ourselves in relation to those around us and crave a sense of identity and belonging.
The chorus "Take me with you, tonight / I can't stand more loneliness / Take me with you, tonight / I can't make it on my own" is a plea for companionship and a departure from the isolation and emptiness the singer feels. The repetition of "to find, to find, to find" emphasizes the search for something greater, something that will bring fulfillment and connection. The final verse reveals a fear of losing oneself to this connection but also a desire to remain true and pure to the other person and to oneself.
Overall, the song captures the essence of what it means to feel lost and alone, searching for a sense of purpose and belonging. It speaks to the universal human experience of longing for connection and the fear of losing oneself in that connection. The haunting melody and emotive vocals add to the depth and complexity of the lyrics, evoking a sense of empathy and understanding in the listener.
