StoneBridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I..I..I..I..I..
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away

When you''re away at work
I''m seeing this other guy
he''s treating me really well
you know i don''t ask for much

It''s so hard to be alone
you''re always gone
It''s so hard to be alone
you''re always gone
(gone, gone, gone...)

I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away

Sorry to break your heart
(but you don''t really give me much choice, do ya)
but i have to live my life
(all i wanna do is to dance and have fun)

It''s so hard when you''re away
I''m all alone
It''s so hard when you''re away
I''m all alone

I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away

(Ohh-whoa Ohh-whoa Ohh-whoa)
I wanna tell you this....

I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..




feel the beat in the music take me away
(away, away, away.....)

Overall Meaning

At first glance, StoneBridge's song "Take Me Away" seems to be a carefree party anthem about letting the music transport you to a state of ecstasy. Upon closer examination, however, the lyrics reveal a deeper, more complex story. The song's protagonist appears to be in a troubled relationship, as suggested by the opening lines: "When you're away at work, I'm seeing this other guy, he's treating me really well, you know I don't ask for much." It seems she is dissatisfied with her current partner and enjoys the attention and affection of someone else.


The chorus then comes in, with the singer expressing her desire to be carried away by the music, to escape her current reality. She seems to be seeking a release from her problems, a temporary respite from her unhappy relationship. The repeated "I..I..I.." before the chorus could indicate a sense of isolation or loneliness.


The second verse echoes the same sentiments as the first, with the singer expressing her dissatisfaction with her partner's absence and her longing for excitement and release. The final lines, "I wanna tell you this....", leave the song open-ended, leaving the listener to wonder if the singer is going to break things off with her partner or if she will continue to seek refuge in the music.


Overall, "Take Me Away" could be interpreted as a plea for escape, an admission of dissatisfaction, or simply a fun dance track. The lyrics provide a glimpse into the complexity of human relationships and the desire for personal fulfillment, making it more than just a catchy beat.
