Band: Seether
Album: Disclaimer II
Song: Take Me Away
Tabbed for one acoustic guitar
Tuning: 1/2 step down (EbAbDbGbBbEb)
Keep in mind that between riffs, Shaun fills the gap with various strumming
patterns that are either too vague or too numerous (or both), so it's best to
listen to the CD to get a good grip on the strumming.

| Real lyrics: As beautiful as fire against the evening sky you fuel the lost desire- I no longer wanna die Take me by the hand and see beyond the lies Strip away the fences - leave me needing, leave me high I know you're so solo, but I can't. [Chorus:] Take me away - cause I dont wanna lose control Take me away- cause I don't wanna lose it all Relieved of all the pain you let me see again Delievered from my shame now and I am lost for what to say Cleansed and pure and weak, I suffer when I dream. I need to find a purpose- I need to feel you needing me. I know you're so solo, but I can't. [Chorus] Pure and weak, I suffer when I dream Cleansed of me, I suffer when I dream Because I want you to stay, you take away the pain I want you to stay, I need you here to keep me sane [Chorus] I want you to stay- you take away the pain I want you to stay- I need you here to keep me sane ------------- Anyways the meaning of this song is simple, he is in love with a girl pretty much...he finds happiness only when hes around this girl, she's his escape from the depression of his life, I relate to this song alot. I as well am depressed alot, and only way I can get happy is if I am around the one I love...thats my only way of happiness... Put in simple words: He is talking to a girl, asking her not to leave, so that he don't have to experience the pain of reality. | |

| well, whenever i hear the first line, i think of the first girl i loved, she was a Sagittarius ("Fire" sign) and she was hot, but she killed me emotionally. And pretty much Shaun is talking about how is eaten alive by his feelings for a girl that makes him whole, but then takes away constantly. "I suffer when i dream" in all honestly, we are only truly free in our dreams, and since he saw himself with this girl in his dreams, it hurt worse, b/c he had no confidence that it would come true. | |

| First off, these lyrics are wrong, try actually buying the damn cd instead of fucking download it. In the cd book the lyrics are very different. This song to me is about him finding solace in a girl (or something, he could be personifying) and he just doesnt get the same feeling back from what he gives to her. This breaks him because of how much he needs and wants her | |
