Take on Me
punk- ska covers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My sympathizer
They're dead now, woman
Just take me home
No time to explain my reasoning
Just step on the gas, baby
Take me home
Just take me home
Don't you complain
My victimizer
They'll crash into you
And watch you burn
They'll watch you burn
I'll do you good
I'll do you wrong
I'll find my way
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
The lyrics of Punk-Ska covers' song "Take on Me" portray a somewhat chaotic and dark tone. The opening lines, "Oh, what a shame, my sympathizer, they're dead now, woman, just take me home," suggest that the singer has been through some traumatic event and is seeking solace or safety. However, it is not clear who the "sympathizer" is or how they died. The following lines, "No time to explain my reasoning, just step on the gas, baby, take me home," further emphasize the urgency of the situation and the need to escape.
The second verse takes an even darker turn with the lines, "Don't you complain, my victimizer, they'll crash into you and watch you burn, they'll watch you burn." Here, it seems as though the singer is seeking revenge on someone who has wronged them, and is willing to put others in harm's way to achieve it. The final lines, "I'll do you good, I'll do you wrong, I'll find my way, where do I belong?" suggest a struggle with one's own morality and a search for purpose.
Overall, the lyrics of "Take on Me" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of desperation, danger, and moral ambiguity.

I saw a picture - of a wallet chain - it binds my mind today - I thought someone was making fun of someones secret shame - their ability to have a wallet = have a heart I thought...
I thought so hard bout it - I may have lost my own in the process - scraping and screaming for #change that won't fit in a wallet
My photographic memory
Walmart sized now.
Roll back and save on me... I'm g host of past picks - See me and say boo - I want to date you!
_Sweet kenny.

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, okay?
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, (take on me)
Take me on, (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
I'll be gone (take on me)
In a day (take me on, take on me)
(Take on me, take on me)
(Take me on, take on me)
(Take on me)

he probably needs a phone capable of connecting to the internet to see how famous he got for the past few days.

"No one can steal my wallet! Because I have a wallet chain!"
"Or maybe because there's nothing in it"
