Take It Off
Clock Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, I sat her down and kissed her
And I took her by the hand
The blue sky was falling
Just past the oil sands

All the posturing (for)
Things and just for things
Quit your blubbering, let us play

Uncle Tom is here (to)
To alleviate your fear
To faith adhere, let us pray

(I'm) Gonna take it all
Laughing as you fall

The silent acquiescience
The binding contract stands
So I pushed her down and I kissed her
Held her down her hand

I'm gonna take it all
Laughing as you fall





(I'm) Gonna take it all
Laughing as you fall

Overall Meaning

The song "Take It Off" by Clock is a song with cryptic lyrics that can be open to interpretation by various listeners. The song's opening line, "So, I sat her down and kissed her," suggests an intimate moment between the singer and someone they may be romantically involved with. The second line, "And I took her by the hand," could imply an attempt to gain trust or guide the person towards a certain direction. However, the following line, "The blue sky was falling just past the oil sands," sounds like a departure from the previous intimate scene and instead introduces an apocalyptic or catastrophic event taking place in the distance.
The following lines are vague and could be interpreted in different ways. The lines “All the posturing for things and just for things, quit your blubbering, let us play" could suggest a call to abandon trivial materialistic behaviors and instead embrace a more wholesome and fulfilling lifestyle. The line, "Uncle Tom is here to alleviate your fear, to faith adhere, let us pray,” could indicate a religious presence trying to calm fear by urging listeners to have faith in a higher power.
The repetitive chorus line "I'm gonna take it all, laughing as you fall," is sung in a confident and almost menacing tone, which could convey the singer's desire to take control or dominate the situation regardless of who is affected. The lyrics and melody of the song create a discordant and eerie atmosphere that leaves room for interpretation, and the listener must rely on their interpretation and imagination.
