Take My Hand
The Boom Circuits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We watched the reasons start to sink before they finally drown
Some time could change that sad expression left upon your face
The pain we caused could stop and disappear without a trace
Iʼll turn away, you close your eyes before we see that we are moving way too fast
This trip could be our last
Take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me, hold me
The wheels are racing like our blood as we escape the day
Where do we go now? (Do we go now) Do we stay or go a different way?
And time could change the way my body grows so old so fast
The pain reminds me that some choices made are meant to last
Just turn away, Iʼll close my eyes before we see that we are moving way too slow
Thereʼs nowhere left to go
Take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me
You just have to take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me, hold me
(Hold me, hold me)
(Hold me, hold me)
Take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me
You just have to take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me, hold me
Take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me
You just have to take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me, hold me
Take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me
You just have to take my hand and drive
No matter where we go keep me close and hold me
The lyrics of The Boom Circuits's song "Take My Hand" describe a couple who are hitting the road to escape their problems. They are leaving before dawn, watching their problems fade away as they travel. The first few lines talk about their anxieties, and how they're attempting to make their escape. They're in a hurry, but despite that, they ask each other to take their hand and drive together.
The second verse of the song is similar to the first one, but talks about how time moves both slowly and quickly, depending on the situation. It's painful to remember, and the two are reminded that some of the choices they've made are meant to last. Despite that, they request that each other take their hand and drive, as long as they're holding one another, everything will be okay.
The song is filled with metaphorical meanings about escape and holding onto something or someone. While the concept may seem to be about literal travel, it's really about escaping from negative emotions and holding on to things that ground you. The lyrics are about not giving up, no matter what happens. It's about finding strength in each other, and taking a leap of faith together.
