Take Me Over
Safia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stimulation amplifies, you know
You need to stay behind
And not let me walk where the transit lights are
Tremors down my spine
Felt it for the hundredth time
When I'm trapped and I can't not fly
And you don't own me
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
See, I wanna go outside
Guess I got to feel alive
And I don't want to live this fight
And don't let me home to where the transit lights are
Passions are confined
Feel like this heart ain't mine
Don't need to walk the line
I'll break this grand design
I feel closer
I feel closure now
And I am gonna break down
Chase the moment
Take me over now, now
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Take me over, take me tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
Chase the moment
Take me over now
Take me over now
In the lyrics of the song "Take Me Over" by Safia, the singer expresses a desire to go outside and experience stimulation, but is being held back by somebody else who wants them to stay behind and safe. They feel trapped and unable to fly freely, but also have a sense of wanting to break free from the confines of their life. They are looking for someone to take them over and help them leave it all behind, to chase the moment and live in the here and now. The lyrics are a plea for liberation from the restrictions of everyday life and an invitation to embrace the unknown.
The song is about the tension between safety and exploration, between the known and the unknown. It speaks to the universal longing to escape the mundane and to find something deeper and more meaningful in our lives. The lyrics also suggest that the singer feels a strong connection to the person they are asking to take them over, someone who can help them break free and experience something new.

See, I wanna go outside
I want to experience more and leave my comfort zone
Stimulation amplifies, you know
New experiences bring more excitement and joy
You need to stay behind
You prefer to stay confined to your current, familiar space
And not let me walk where the transit lights are
Don't restrict me to mundane things, let me explore and have new experiences
Tremors down my spine
Feeling nervous and excited at the same time
Felt it for the hundredth time
I always feel this way when I experience something new
When I'm trapped and I can't not fly
I feel restricted and unable to explore
And you don't own me
I am my own person and have the right to explore and have new experiences without being restricted by someone else
Take me over, take me tonight
Let me explore and experience something new tonight
Dream no more and leave it all behind
Let go of inhibitions and explore new things
Chase the moment
Seize the current opportunity
Take me over now
Let me experience something new now
See, I wanna go outside
I want to explore more and have new experiences
Guess I got to feel alive
I want to feel alive and experience new things
And I don't want to live this fight
I don't want to be restricted and live a mundane life
And don't let me home to where the transit lights are
Don't restrict me to mundane things and experiences, let me explore and have new experiences
Passions are confined
I feel restricted and unable to explore my passions
Feel like this heart ain't mine
I feel restricted and unable to follow my heart
Don't need to walk the line
I don't want to be restricted and follow a predefined path
I'll break this grand design
I will break free from societal restrictions and follow my own path
I feel closer
I feel closer to experiencing something new
I feel closure now
I feel closer to completing something
And I am gonna break down
I may feel overwhelmed but I will not let it stop me from experiencing something new
Chase the moment
Seize the current opportunity
Take me over now, now
Let me experience something new now
