Take My Time
Brandon Hines | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you're sitting in your room,
Staring into space.
Your hair is long and shaggy,
Your clothes torn to shreds.
The TV an endless stream of commercials,
Chat logs filling up the screen beside.

You remember the day on a meadow.

You can see the details, every little thing.
But you can't remember what it felt like,
You're not feeling anything.

It's a movie without sound.
Your haggard face flashes up with lightning,
Creepy shadows reflect your soul.

Take my soul, consume me whole.
I'm no part of this world.
Take my love, and hold it close.
I can't be without you anymore.

You are sitting in the scenery of your dream.
Your clothes are neat and clean,
Your hair cut, your chin smooth.

The scene is as beautiful as a painting,
But there are no people or living things.
It's as meaningless and empty as your gaze.

You lose yourself in this dead world.
You think you're living in your dream,
But there's nothing in it.




You're feeling nothing. nothing.
You seem complacent but there is nothing there.

Overall Meaning

These lyrics explore the theme of numbness and emptiness in the midst of a world that's constantly bombarding us with stimuli. The first stanza paints a picture of someone lost in their own thoughts, consumed by technology and the superficiality of advertising. They remember a past experience, but it's as if they can only see it from the outside--they can't remember what it actually felt like to be alive in that moment. The second stanza offers a contrast to this disconnected state: the singer imagines a beautiful world that appears perfect on the surface, but is ultimately empty and devoid of meaning. It's as if the singer is longing for something real to break through the haze of superficiality that surrounds them.


The chorus of the song offers a sense of yearning and desperation: the singer wants to be consumed by something greater than themselves, whether it's an all-consuming love or a deeper sense of purpose. They want to break free from the numbness and complacency that's keeping them from feeling truly alive.


Overall, "Take My Time" is a song about the need for connection and meaning in a world that often feels hollow and disconnected. It's a cry for something real, something that can cut through the noise and make us truly feel alive.
