Take Me All the Way
The Elwins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to learn it all without a teacher
Will I find a way
You seem to have a way with your direction
Put me on course with your correction
And we’ll get away
I’ve got to get there today
I’ve got no place to stay
Can you take me all the way
I made a little mess with my money
Gotta get my tea with some honey
Will I find a way
You seem to be a simply sweet confection
Add a little heat to this connection
And we’ll get away
I don’t wanna die I wanna live
Live a little now and see what sticks
I don’t wanna die I wanna live
I don’t wanna die I wanna live
Live a little now until she quits
I don’t wanna die I wanna live
The lyrics of The Elwins's song "Take Me All The Way" convey a sense of longing, seeking guidance and direction, and the desire to escape one's current situation. The singer feels lost and lonely, like a "lost and lonely creature," as they navigate through life without a teacher or mentor. They wonder if they will find a way to overcome their struggles and find their path.
The chorus emphasizes the plea for someone to take them all the way. They urgently express the need to reach their destination, symbolizing their desire for success or fulfillment. They feel they have no place to stay, possibly indicating a lack of stability in their life.
The second verse adds a layer of financial struggle to the narrative. The singer confesses to making mistakes with their money and needing to make things right. The mention of getting tea with honey suggests a desire for comfort and soothing amidst their difficulties. They hope that the person they are addressing can provide a much-needed correction and bring some sweetness and connection into their life.
The repetition of "I don't wanna die I wanna live" in the bridge showcases the singer's fear of stagnation and their desire to truly experience life. They want to seize the moment and find joy in the present, rather than simply existing. The repetition emphasizes the urgency and importance of this mindset.
Overall, "Take Me All The Way" expresses the longing for guidance, connection, escape, and a meaningful existence.

Still remember you guys playing for our band camp in Aurora around 2012-2013 and getting your debut on CD as a freebie. I remember you played a new song called “Show Me How To Move” that wasn’t out yet at the time (to my knowledge) and it just blew me away! I still love that album! It has inspired me to write music and find my own sound.
