Exploring the complexities of desire and self-worth, this song delves into the protagonist's internal struggle with forbidden attraction. The narrative follows an individual who becomes infatuated with someone already in a relationship, driven by a compulsion to pursue what is unattainable. This yearning is rooted in unresolved issues from their past, particularly abandonment and betrayal experienced during childhood. The lyrics reveal a profound conflict between moral restraint and an almost irresistible urge to disrupt another’s relationship, reflecting deeper insecurities and a need for validation. Ultimately, the protagonist grapples with guilt and remorse, realizing too late that their actions were influenced by past traumas rather than genuine affection.
Taken
Lyrics
Pulled up, quarter to eleven
Waited a minute till you went in
We talked and then we stopped talking
Put on a song and we listened
I know that I make you nervous
I do it half on purpose
You know I think you're precious
Yeah, I think you're a good person
So why do I want to blow up your life?
I'll be a very good girl
I won't even think about it
I'm just feeling like I can't help it
I know you said you had a girlfriend
I just want it if it's taken
(If it's taken)
Dad left when I was eleven
Mom said it was 'cause he couldn't
Keep from touching other women
Some things have a way of sticking
And now I'm standing in your kitchen
You said you told her you were leaving
And I can't help thinking
I hate you 'cause you're just like him
So why did I have to blow up your life?
I'll be a very good girl
I won't even think about it
I'm just feeling like I can't help it
I know you said you had a girlfriend
I just want it, I just thought that
If I could take it from her
Maybe then it would prove that I'm worth something
Now I'm alone and I'm hurt
Wishing I'd taken you at your word
When you said that you were taken
I'll be a very good girl
I won't even think about it
I'm just feeling like I can't help it
I know you said you had a girlfriend
I just want it if it's taken
I know you said
I just want it
