Take Me Higher
R.a.f. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never said I could be
The guy you once saw in me.
I wasn't made to love you
Everyone make mistakes
We are both to blame.

We got to face it baby
The light has faded on us.

Leavin' a life that's hopeless
Oh ! don't you feel it's time to
Pack and say goodbye.

Take me back where I long to be
Where the music's free
And the lights are bright.

I can't explain, I can't explain
I'm sorry for your pain but
Take me back.

We got to face it baby

the light has faded on us.
Leavin' a life that's hopeless
Oh ! don't you feel it's time to
Pack and say goodbay.

Take me back where I long to be
Where the music's free
And the lights are bright.

I can't explain, I can't explain
I'm sorry for your pain but
Take me back.

I can't explain, I can't explain
I'm sorry for your pain but
Take me back.

Take me back,
Take me back,

Take me back,
Take me back

Overall Meaning

R.a.f.'s "Take Me Higher" tells the story of a failed relationship and a desire to return to a time when things were better. The singer of the song admits to making mistakes and acknowledges that both parties are to blame for the end of the relationship. They express a longing to be taken back to a place where the music is free and the lights are bright, a time when things were simpler and happier. The repetition of "take me back" at the end of the song emphasizes the desperation to return to this better time and the regret for not being able to make things work in the relationship.

The song's lyrics speak to the universal experience of regret and longing for things that have passed. It's a common feeling to wish that we could go back to a happier time, but ultimately we must move forward and learn from our mistakes. The use of music as a metaphor for the singer's desire for a return to a better time is effective in conveying the emotional weight of the situation.
