Take Me Somewhere Nice Lyrics
Ghosts in the photograph
never lie'd to me.
I'd be all of that
I'd be all of that.
A false memory
would be everything.
A denial my eliminent.
What was that for?
What was that for?
What would you do
if you saw spaceships
over Glasgow?
Would you fear them?
Every aircraft,
every camera,
is a wish that
wasn't granted.
What was that for?
What was that for?
Try to be bad.
Try to be bad.
never lie'd to me.
I'd be all of that.
would be everything.
A denial my eliminent.
What was that for?
if you saw spaceships
over Glasgow?
Would you fear them?
every camera,
is a wish that
wasn't granted.
What was that for?
Try to be bad.

The song is about this weird effect that happens in Glasgow, Scotland. There are alot of chemical treatment plants that emit a weird mist that when combined with ambient light creates weird illusions. Many Glasgowians report seeing spaceships and ufo's in the fog. Some report abductions. This song is basically the writer begging to be taken somewhere nice by the aliens because he's sick of where he is.
A goddamn beautiful song.
interesting interpretation of a beautiful song.

Have to say, I've lived in Glasgow for 30 years, and have never heard of that.

To me this song would be fitting after being treated like crap after having complete optimism. It's about being let down. on the flip side. Everybody's has got friends or a sanctuary where somewhere is "nice". We all are like that.
I feel this song goes about believing and having faith, that everything is somehow good, all tales known are true and dreaming and yearning for things in life. He even has manipulated memories to make all seem nice, and lives in denial.
But towards the end it speaks of how it has somehow crumbled , how you may fail, how your faith may be tainted when wishes aren't granted and how you may want to turn away from all the niceness, ...try to be bad.
yep... this song was featured on an episode of FX's "The Shield"
i believe that "take me somewhere nice" is the saddest song i know!
well, now i would like to know more about the lyrics. they sound beautiful, but i really don't know if there is a deeper sense in it. would be nice, if you could tell me something about your assumptions...
this is definitely a good night driving song. I don't think I'd ask for the meaning. This is one of those songs that's different for everyone (that I know, at least)
Simply put this is a beautiful song. I love how his voice is almost a part of the instrumental. This is my second favorite driving song (number one is Untitled 5 (Alafoss) by Sigur Ros)
Its a song about when you have given up all hope in life and are about to commit suicide or leave everything and everyone behind. Then this music comes up to give you hope to carry on...
Or at someone's funeral...
Here is my interpretation of this song it reminds me of a french expression "se noyer dans un verre d'eau" https://en.lineday.co/mogwai-take-me-somewhere-nice-lyrics-meaning/
