Rufus 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 to RÜFÜS's song "Take Me" transport the listener to a place far away from the stresses of everyday life. The song begins with the repeated lines "Oh oh," setting a dreamy and ethereal tone. In the first verse, the singer expresses a desire to be taken away across the ocean, to a place where the night is falling and the horizon stretches out endlessly. The second verse describes a sense of isolation and emptiness, with no one around in the golden air. However, the singer finds hope in the promise of meeting someone, perhaps the person addressed in the second verse, at that mythical location out in the horizon.
The chorus repeats the idea of being taken away across the ocean as a sort of refuge from reality, drawing the listener further into this imaginary world. The third verse describes a romantic encounter at night, as the skyline closes in and the lovers swim across the darkened waters. The underwater lights and shadows create a sense of wonder and mystery, and the lyrics hint at a passionate connection between the two people represented in the song.
Overall, "Take Me" is a song about escaping to a place where anything is possible, either alone or with someone else. The lyrics capture the sense of longing and possibility that comes with such an experience, and the dreamy, repetitive chorus reinforces the idea of being transported to another world.
