Take Me Away
Seeking Escape: Yearning for Freedom in "Take Me Away
Lyrics
Watching once more
Feeling detached, observing the world.
As the world passes me by
Passively witnessing life go by.
Surrounded but still all alone
Surrounded by others but still feeling isolated.
Am I living a lie?
Questioning the authenticity of one's existence.
Empty faces, empty eyes
Faces and eyes devoid of emotion, not connecting.
Are staring right through me.
Being ignored or not acknowledged.
No regret, but still ask why
Living without regrets but still questioning.
Take me away
Expressing a desire to escape.
To a place I've never known
Yearning for an unknown, better place.
This is the price I've paid,
Acknowledging the cost paid for choices.
And it's taken it's toll.
The toll taken by life's challenges.
Can it be too much to ask
Asking for a fair share of time.
For the time it stole?
Reflecting on time lost.
Empty faces, empty eyes
Reiteration of emotionless connections.
Are staring right through me.
Being unnoticed despite inner struggles.
No regret, but still ask why
Living without regret but seeking reasons.
Take me away
Reiterating the desire for escape.
To a place I've never known
Longing for an unfamiliar, better life.
Take me away
Reaffirming the desire for liberation.
Where my life can be my own.
Expressing the wish for personal autonomy.
I only wish that I had stayed
Regretting a decision to leave or not stay.
I only wish that I had known
Wishing for knowledge of the consequences.
Take me away
Repeating the plea for escape.
To a place I've never known
Yearning for an unknown, better destination.
Take me away
Reiterating the desire for liberation.
Then my life can be my own.
Desiring control over one's life.
Where my life can be my own.
Emphasizing the wish for personal autonomy.
Take me away
Reiterating the plea for escape.
Take me away.
Repeated call for liberation.
