Take it As It Comes
40. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tin can at my feet.
Think I`ll kick it down the street,
That`s the way to treat a friend
Broken windows and empty hall ways
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it`s going to rain today
With frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think its going to rain today.
Right before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it`s going to rain today.
The song "Take it as it Comes" by 40 begins with a description of a lonely and isolated situation where the singer finds himself with only a tin can by his feet. The use of the tin can as a symbol for loneliness is powerful in its simplicity. He thinks he's going to kick the can down the street, perhaps as a way of venting his frustration and aggression at his predicament. However, he realizes that this is not the way to treat a friend, and this reveals the underlying humanity in the singer.
As the song progresses, the singer observes the broken windows and empty hallways, and the pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey. These images suggest a sense of abandonment and despair, and the repeated reference to "human kindness is overflowing" seems to be ironic in this context. Yet despite these bleak conditions, the singer remains hopeful, and in a way that echoes the great blues classics, he asserts that he thinks it's going to rain today. Rain is often seen as a metaphor for cleansing and renewal, as well as a reminder that life is unpredictable and cyclical, and that after the storm, there is always the possibility of growth and rebirth.
Overall, "Take it as it Comes" is a song about resilience, hope, and the ability to find meaning and connection even in the most desperate circumstances. It reminds us that life is not always fair, but that we can always choose to be kind, empathetic, and compassionate, even when we feel battered and bruised by the world.

Lonely, Lonely,
Feeling alone and isolated.
Tin can at my feet.
A discarded object at their feet.
Think I'll kick it down the street,
A desire to disregard the object.
That’s the way to treat a friend
Treating someone like a discarded object.
Broken windows and empty hall ways
A desolate and abandoned environment.
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
A dismal atmosphere.
Human kindness is overflowing
Compassion is abundant.
And I think it`s going to rain today
A premonition of being emotionally overwhelmed.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
Appearances are deceiving.
With frozen smiles to chase love away.
Masking true feelings.
Right before me, the signs implore me
Being confronted with calls to take action.
Help the needy and show them the way
An urging to aid those in need.
Human kindness is overflowing
Compassion is abundant.
And I think it`s going to rain today.
A premonition of being emotionally overwhelmed.

LYRICS:
Just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
It's been a month and twenty days
And we're going 'round and 'round, playing silly games
Now you're saying, slow it down, not right now
Then you wink at me and walk away
Let it be, let it be, let it be known
Hold on, don't go
Touching and teasing me, telling me no
But this time I need to feel you
Ride it, we're all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you…
Movida was the club on the Saturday
You're actin' like a diva, sayin' you don't wanna pay
It's gotta be ya feisty style, raised eyebrow
I love it when you look at me that way
Now we're in, you order a mojito at the bar
Re-apply your lippy 'cause it came off on the glass
The DJ plays your favorite song, Kanye's on
Now ya beckoning for me to dance
Mm, pullin' me, pullin' me, pullin' me close
Just close your eyes, girl
Whispering, tellin' me, we gotta go
Won't you take me home? I wanna
Ride it, we're all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, we're all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Won't you take me home? I wanna
Ride it, we're all alone
Ride it, just lose control
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
Ride it, turn the lights down low
Ride it, from head to toe
Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul
Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
