Take Me
RUFUS (Dance) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Take me
Away across the ocean
Out in the horizon the night is falling
Outside in the golden air
Washed out and no one's there
She said I'll meet you there
Sometime
Sunset in the breeze
Drifting into me
Her love will make it right
This time
So take me
Away across the ocean
Out in the horizon the night is falling
Take me
Away across the ocean
Out in the horizon the night is falling
Take me
Away across the ocean
Out in the horizon the night is falling
Skyline closing in
Her eyes whispering
We swam across the night
To find
Underwater lights
Shadows in disguise
Your lips come close to mine
In time
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Sunset in the breeze (Oh oh)
Drifting into me (Oh oh)
Her love will make it right (Oh)
This time
So take me
Away across the ocean
Out in the horizon the night is falling
Take me
Away across the ocean
Out in the horizon the night is falling
The lyrics of RUFUS (Dance)'s song "Take Me" evoke a sense of longing and desire for escape. The repeated refrain of "Take Me" reflects the singer's desire to escape to a place away from the stresses of life. The singer speaks about being taken across the ocean into the horizon as the night falls. The golden air suggests a sense of peace and tranquility.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to be taken away across the ocean once again. The singer revels in the moment of drifting into the sunset breeze, which is a metaphor for a sense of letting go of the past and surrendering to the present. The line "Her love will make it right" suggests that the singer is taking refuge in someone whom he loves and trusts. It is this love that brings peace to him and that will make everything right.
