Take Me
Rufus Du Sol 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 Du Sol's "Take Me" are a beautiful depiction of the longing to escape and find solace in the unknown. The repeated phrase "Take me" emphasizes the urgency and desperation of the person behind the lyrics, who wants to be taken away across the ocean to find peace. The night falling in the horizon might be the metaphorical representation of the person's life, where everything is coming to an end, and they want to restart fresh. The golden air devoid of people signifies the loneliness the person is feeling, and the promise of meeting someone is the only hope they have.
As the song progresses, the lyrics mention the sunset in the breeze and drifting into me, indicating that the person wants to be one with nature and escape the chaos of the world they live in. They mention that their love will make it right this time, implying that they might have had past relationships or experiences that haven't turned out well. The constant repetition of "Take me" throughout the song is an attempt to communicate that they want someone to understand their struggle and take them to a better place.
In the second half of the song, the lyrics describe the person experiencing the liberation they have been searching for, with the skyline closing in and the eyes whispering. They swim across the night to find underwater lights and shadows in disguise, and their lips come close to mine in time. These lines highlight the moment of epiphany when the person is finally finding what they were searching for and coming in terms with themselves.
