Take Me Away
StoneBridge / Therese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
It's so hard to be alone
You're always 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
The lyrics of StoneBridge / Therese's song "Take Me Away" depict a woman who is deeply dissatisfied with her current situation. Her partner spends a lot of time away from home for work, leaving her feeling lonely and neglected. In his absence, she begins seeing another man who treats her well and makes her feel appreciated. She acknowledges the pain she will cause her partner by leaving him, but ultimately decides that she needs to live her life and enjoy herself. All she wants is to dance and feel the music - to be taken away from her mundane reality and into a world where she can truly be free.
On a deeper level, the lyrics explore themes of longing, escapism, and self-discovery. The woman in the song is trapped in a situation that makes her unhappy, and instead of continuing to endure it, she decides to take control of her life and seek out the things that bring her joy. This is a powerful message of empowerment and self-love.
Interestingly, the lyrics also play with the idea of music as a form of therapy or escape. The woman repeatedly calls for the music to "take her away" - suggesting that she sees it as a way to transport herself to a better place. This echoes the way that many people use music as a means of coping with difficult emotions or situations. At the same time, the upbeat, danceable quality of the song itself reinforces the idea that music can be a source of joy and release.
Overall, "Take Me Away" is a catchy, upbeat dance track with an inspiring message of self-empowerment and the transformative power of music.
