Take Your Time
Boulevarde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jet black Yamaha
The world is rushing by
You're riding way too fast
Slow down
It's like a stomach ache inside my brain
I see you waste away
Inside another face
A selfish kind of pain
Hiding it away
Think you need to slow down
I hear your voice inside my head
You're calling
Follow your cry
Wondering why
Take your time
Web of your ways
I get caught up in all day
The things I love and hate
I miss them
I make a mixtape of the things you used to say
Why didn't we communicate?
I hear your voice inside my head
I hear your voice inside my head
You're calling
Follow your cry
Wondering why
Take your time
I hear your voice inside my head




I hear your voice inside my head
You're calling

Overall Meaning

The song "Take Your Time" by Boulevarde is a poignant and emotive ballad that is directed towards someone who is burdened by the weight of their own thoughts and emotions. The opening lines, "Jet black Yamaha, the world is rushing by, you're riding way too fast, slow down" appear to be addressed to a person who is rushing through life on a motorcycle, perhaps as a metaphor for how they are rushing through their emotional journey. This person is urged to slow down and take their time to introspect and sort through their emotions.


The chorus of the song carries a message of hope and persistence, as the singer encourages the person to "take your time" and follow their own inner voice. The line "wondering why" suggests that this person is struggling with understanding their own emotions and motivations, and the singer is urging them to trust themselves and find the answers they seek. The song also touches upon the theme of missed opportunities, as the singer reflects upon the things they wished they had communicated to this person before.


In essence, "Take Your Time" is a song about finding a way to slow down and introspect, to confront one's own pains and struggles, and to trust in one's own voice to find a way forward. It is a message of hope and encouragement, urging listeners to take their own emotional journeys at their own pace.
