Take Me Home
The Downtown Fiction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feelin' stressed
Seems I'm at my worst
When you're at your best
I'm on this roller coaster
Stuck inside the tangles of my mind
So baby could you show me what it's like?
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
You made a mess of me
You always play
The starring role
You could fill a room
With all the hearts you stole
I'm on this roller coaster
Stuck inside the tangles of my mind
Remember what you left behind
So baby could you show me what it's like?
If only you could take me home tonight
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
Baby could you show me how it tastes?
When every piece of you and me erase
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
You made a mess of me
You're not making this easy, not making this easier on me
You're not making this easier I find it hard to believe in me
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Stuck inside the tangles of mind
So baby could you show me what it's like?
If only you could take me home tonight
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
So baby could you show me how it tastes?
When every piece of you and me erase
And baby could you show me it's easy to breathe
You made a mess of me
The Downtown Fiction's "Take Me Home" is a song about a person who's feeling lost, confused and stressed about their feelings towards someone else. The lyrics suggest that the person is going through a difficult time, and their emotions are tangled up in their mind. They feel like they're on a roller coaster ride and they're struggling to find their way back to a stable emotional state. The chorus of the song is a plea for the other person to help them find their way back home. The person is seeking comfort, clarity, and support from the other person.
The lyrics suggest that the other person is someone they have feelings for but who has played with their emotions in the past. The other person seems to be very charming, confident and popular, and they steal hearts easily. The singer, on the other hand, is struggling to keep up with their emotions and is looking to the other person for guidance. They are seeking to be shown the way to feel better, find clarity, and breathe easily again.
The song is a testament to the struggles of young love and the emotional turbulence that comes with it. It's relatable to anyone who has ever felt lost, lonely, and confused in a relationship. It's a song that speaks to the part of us that wants to be cared for by someone else and to rely on someone else to help us find our way back home.
