Take It Back Lyrics

Won't you take me away from here
So I'll never find my way home
Well there's one missing part of me
And I'm afraid it's fine on its own
And this time it's finally grown
For me to see
Now I see

Words spoken silently
I could never understand
How breath delivers such poison
To someone too weak to stand
And dust can turn into mud
Out on the sea
In the sea

Take it back, take it back
Take it back

Take it back, take it back
Take it back

Take it back, take it back
Take it back

Take it back, take it back
Take it back

What is the Meaning of Take It Back?

In a whimsical dance between melancholy and hope, we find a tale of yearning and reparation. The narrator pleads for an escape from the labyrinth of her mind, where a crucial piece of her identity seems to have slipped away, living its own life apart from her. Silent words, like ghostly whispers, hold venom that weakens her spirit, creating a muddy path where clarity once reigned. As she grapples with this profound existential disconnection, her repeated plea to "take it back" echoes like a mantra, a desperate cry to reclaim what was lost and mend the fragmented pieces of her soul.
