For A While
The Horns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me in your arms, hold me for a little while

I know you're leaving me behind
I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more

Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now, I'm feeling mine

I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child wrapped in a cradle
Let me know joy before I grieve
Just once more, darling, before you leave

Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losing you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess

I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy just one more time

Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Oh take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while

I'm begging you baby, I'm beggin' you please
Here I am baby, I'm down on my knees
Begging you please, begging you please, please, please
Take me in your arms, rock me, and rock me a little while
Oh come on darling, rock me and rock me a little while




Oh take me in your arms, rock me, and rock me a little while
Oh take me in your arms, rock me, and rock me a little while

Overall Meaning

"For a While" by The Horns is a song about a man desperately trying to hold on to his love before she leaves him for good. The lyrics express his desire for one last embrace, one last moment of tenderness, before she goes. He is aware that their relationship is over and knows that he will never see her again, but he implores her to show him a little tenderness before she leaves. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is struggling to hold on to his emotions and find a way to cope with the pain of losing the person he loves.


The repetition of "Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while" creates a sense of longing and vulnerability. The use of the words "rock me" is particularly poignant as it suggests a need for comfort, like a baby being rocked to sleep. The reference to being like a "helpless child wrapped in a cradle" reinforces this idea.


The song is a powerful and emotional plea from a man who is struggling to accept the end of his relationship. It captures the pain and heartache of losing someone you love and the desperation to hold on to that person just a little bit longer.
