The Verona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he's eating at your soul now
I'm a jewel in a paper bag and it keeps you down
Consolation for what you've lost
A constellation that can't be crossed
There's a shadow on your back
And it's eating out your heart now
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
I heard what you said
You just don't know
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
Oh just take me
Take me
(I've already had it to here)
Wake me
Wake me
(I've already had it to here)
Break me
Break me
(I've already had it to here)
There's a lion above your head
And he's eating at your soul now
I'm a fool and a silly nag
And it makes you cry
An enigma that's haunting you
Astigmatism you can't see through
There's a shadow on your back
And it's eating out your heart now
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
I heard what you said
You just don't know
Get out of my head
Leave me alone
Oh just take me
Take me
(I've already had it to here)
Wake me
Wake me
(I've already had it to here)
Break me
Break me
(I've already had it to here)
I am not what you wanted
I am now what you fear
You've taken it for granted
You twist the atmosphere
I am not what you wanted
I am not what you fear
You've taken it for granted
You twist the atmosphere
Oh just take me
Take me
(I've already had it to here)
Wake me
Wake me
(I've already had it to here)
Break me
Break me
(I've already had it to here)
Oh just take me
Take me
Wake me
Wake me
Break me
Break me
Take me
Take me
I've already had it to here
The Verona's song "Take Me Home" is a heart-wrenching track with an emotional and powerful undertone. The lyrics seem to be about a strong and articulate woman who feels trapped in her own body and mind. The lion portrayed in the lyrics could represent several things, including fear or pressure, both of which can diminish one's mental wellbeing over time. The lion could also symbolize the feeling of being preyed upon by an external force, making it impossible to escape from the entrapment one feels. The jewel in the paper bag is used as a metaphor for feeling trapped or overlooked, as a precious gem can be easily overlooked and uncared for when placed in a paper bag.
The song talks about the shadow on one's back, which is a common metaphor for pain or emotional distress that one is carrying with them. This shadow seems to be consuming the person's heart and soul, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. The lyric "Get out of my head, leave me alone" expresses a desire to escape from the issues that the person is facing in their life, which seems to become more untenable with every passing day.
