I am Where It Takes Me (feat. Johnette Napolitano) Lyrics
It's all I see, It's all I see.
Please take it away.
It's holding me, it's holding me.
Please take it away.
It's more than me, it's more than me.
Please take it away.
It's killing me, it's killing me.
Please take it away.
I run, it follows
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me.
I love, it breaks me.
It's under me, it's under me.
Please take it away.
It's watching me, it's watching me.
Please take it away.
It's touching me, it's touching me.
Please take it away.
It's just like me, it's just like me.
Please take it away.
I run, it follows
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me.
I love, it breaks me.
Please take it away.
It's holding me, it's holding me.
Please take it away.
It's more than me, it's more than me.
Please take it away.
It's killing me, it's killing me.
Please take it away.
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me.
I love, it breaks me.
Please take it away.
It's watching me, it's watching me.
Please take it away.
It's touching me, it's touching me.
Please take it away.
It's just like me, it's just like me.
Please take it away.
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me.
I love, it breaks me.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Honestly...I think it's just about the journey of life. "I am where it takes me." Life, our experiences both good and bad, is what molds us into what we are today. To me this song is basically taking the good, the bad, the cherished, and most horrid memories into one...and trying to create something therapeutic.
I like to look at it as a reflection of who we are.
This song makes me hella sad dude idk why it just does I am not sure the meaning of it other than what Reverie In Dust said I mean how else could you explain that. This is a amazing song and an even more amazing band i can't wait for the next cd it will own
hahaha actually after reading it disregard my last comment i think it is more about something that really tears your soul up and no matter what it is there and always will be like a relationship i mean the words sound like something i am going through right now sooooer yah
I think it's about understanding, seeing the world through to the core. Though it could mean responsibility of being an example to someone.

It's all I see, It's all I see. -the truth, responsibility

Please take it away. -in another song he said "ignorance was bliss." responsibility, too.

It's holding me, it's holding me. -understanding, the truth, responsibility would hold you back from doing certain things or it would hold your attention

I...
I run, it follows -understanding, responsibility (no matter where you go, there is someone who will look up to you and be changed by you)
I speak, it swallows -understanding is digesting what someone says to you, whoever looks up to you will swallow whatever you say
I am where it takes me. -your opinions change based on how well you understand something, 'i do what i do because of people looking up to me'
I love, it breaks me. -seeing the truth of the world can do this to you. if you hate capitalism and the state of america/the world today, if you fall in love with a person who subscribes (ascribes?) to the way the world is, you will break yourself trying to understand that person
It's under me, it's under me. -the world? the truth as you understand it is your foundation.
It's watching me, it's watching me. -the world, possibly someone you wind up being an example to
It's touching me, it's touching me. -if someone looks up to you it touches your heart, if you suddenly understand something it's like the truth reached out and tapped you on the shoulder
It's just like me, it's just like me. -if you are an example to someone they emulate you. if you are a pessimistic/cynical person, you will make an observation and think "that's just like me, to notice that."
This is a song about an addiction.. It's all I see....It's holding me... Please take it away. His drug is all he thinks about. Consuming him. He knows this. He knows it's killing him. Yet wherever else he has to go to get his fix is where he will end up and that could be ANYWHERE. He tries to run but there's no escape. He wants someone/thing to take away the hold it has over him but knows this will never happen. His addiction will always be there. Lingering in the shadow, waiting for him to break. He will forever and always be one decision away from hell. That he loves and hates, equal measures
I wonder what it is? Maybe it's Wes's reflection?
Anyone else think this band's songs are extremely trippy? I've never tried Heroine before and I dont plan on it, but i feel like if I tried Heroine it would be just like a Black Light Burns song. Especially this song, it trips me out.
Yeah, Black Light Burns is the freaking shit!!!
Gawd, I got the chills.
Seems like it might be about some form of mental illness. Depression, schizo, etc.
It's about being stuck. Could be anything. It's about seeing the reality you want to have behind the glass of the reality you're currently living in. It could be a crappy job, abusive relationship, addiction, depression, etc.
If you've ever been stuck without an escape you know exactly what it means.
