Take Me Home
Wallis Bird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a head at rest
It lies on your breast
And you've got a choke hold
In a life of less interest

Always a girl for love
Born on a tuesday
A cold in your heart
A cold in my brain

Take my hand
This whole world's gone mad and I'm
Trying to salvage an existence
where we live in love

Jump with me
We'd be smashed to the ground
but in between we'll fly, we'll soar
we'll soar
like the bird I am

Pasted a fake smile
All across their face
You're running out your cold heart
And never getting pace
And can you feel me loving you
I can hear you loving me
This something in your heart
makes you want to scream

Take my hand
This whole world's gone mad and I'm
Trying to salvage an Existence
where we live in love

Oh jump with me
We'd be smashed to the ground
but in between we'll fly, we'll soar
we'll soar





I'm almost there

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wallis Bird's song "Take Me Home" are quite emotional and speak of a desire for love and connection in a seemingly hopeless world. The song starts with the singer finding solace in the embrace of their lover - a place to rest their head and escape the monotony of their everyday life. However, the contrast between their affectionate relationship and the less interesting world around them is evident, with the line "And you've got a chokehold in a life of less interest."


The second verse further explores the singer's sense of isolation, with the line "Always a girl for love, born on a Tuesday" being particularly poignant. The use of this line creates a sense of vulnerability and a reminder that we all have a unique story that shapes who we are. The line "A cold in your heart, a cold in my brain" could refer to depression or other mental health issues that create a barrier between the singer and their lover.


Despite all this, the chorus of the song is a plea to hold onto hope and to hold onto one another. The idea of the world being "mad" could refer to the chaos and uncertainty of life, but the singer still believes in the possibility of "salvaging an existence where we live in love." The line "Jump with me, we'd be smashed to the ground, but in between we'll fly, we'll soar, we'll soar like the bird I am" is particularly powerful, as it speaks to the idea that even in the midst of chaos and danger, there is still the possibility of flight and freedom.


Overall, "Take Me Home" is a song about the human desire for love and connection, even in the face of despair and uncertainty. The lyrics are rich with emotion and offer a powerful message of hope.

It's overwhelming and you want to let it out
