Take Me Back
Journey of Reflection: Take Me Back by Humble Pie
Lyrics
Take me back where I come from
Desire to return to one's origins or roots.
All I need--feeling blue
Feeling down or sad, seeking solace.
Friends that I made in my youth
Nostalgia for friendships made in youth.
Now I'm older
Reflecting on aging and the passage of time.
I love them more
Expressing a deepening love for old friends.
Moon shines bright above
Describing a constant, unchanging moon.
Never seems to change
Noticing a lack of change in the surroundings.
Ever smiling face--no one asks why
Observing a consistently cheerful face without questioning.
Everyone wanted his soul
People desired his essence, possibly charisma or soul.
All he gave them was a smile
Despite desires, all he shared was a smile.
People can change overnight
Recognizing the potential for rapid personal change.
You most of all--yeah that's right
Acknowledging someone's ability to change.
Find yourself on the ground
Finding oneself in a challenging situation.
Where you been?
Questioning someone's whereabouts.
What have you found?
Asking about the discoveries or experiences.
Yeah, now you know the score
Understanding the situation and its consequences.
Never want no more
Expressing contentment and a lack of desire for more.
Keep yourself in your own mind
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness.
Can you believe what I say
Asking for belief or trust in what is being said.
That I'm glad, feeling sad
Contradicting emotions, gladness, and sadness.
I'm feeling awful cold
Expressing a feeling of intense coldness.
I've just been bought and sold
Feeling like a commodity, lacking control.
In my eyes you'll see
Emphasizing fear through one's eyes.
The sign of fear
Desire to revisit and confront past fears.
Take me back to see
Expressing a desire to return to the past.
What I left behind, yeah
Leaving something valuable behind, seeking closure.
Ooh, superficial people told him where to go
Encountering shallow individuals influencing decisions.
Everyone wanted his soul
Reiteration of people desiring an individual's essence.
All he gave them was a smile, oh
Despite desires, the individual only shared a smile.
