Taking It Back
Cord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to get out of here
Anywhere where I can be alone
Is there a case, a case of the great unknown
I caught it on my own and now I am here
I'm absolutely positively clear
I can recall when I was younger
Now that I know I wish that I was there
Now I'm getting out of here
Conscious of mind, a conscious I had the time
I felt that I was fine
I can't complain
I'm taking it back, I'm taking it back for good
I'd keep it if I could, but I'll be fair
I am absolutely positively clear
Every time I think what I am saying
Thankful for the days that I was praying
Even when I said I didn't care
Cause I'm getting out of here
For the first time I felt that I was so damn sure
For the first time I felt that I was wrong
Now I'm getting out of here
The lyrics of Cord's song Taking It Back seem to depict someone feeling a sense of freedom after having been lost for identity in the past. The singer seems to have reached a point where they feel clearheaded and confident about the decisions they are making. They express a need for solitude, an opportunity to be alone, to contemplate and to figure out who they are. They are taking control of their life and owning up to their decisions. They are also aware of the fact that they can't go back in time to retrieve the opportunities missed out, but they do not regret the lessons learned through the experiences.
The song speaks about a person's journey to find themselves, which, in many ways, seems like a coming-of-age story. The singer seems to be aware of the past and the missed opportunities, but is also aware that to move forward, they must acknowledge their limitations and their mistakes. They have grown from their experiences and take full responsibility for their past. The lyrics say they are taking it back, but they're taking it back for good, indicating a sense of finality to their current path.
The song's lyrics also suggest that the singer grew up relying too much on external validation, and it was only much later that he realized the importance of seeking validation from within. The song's lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced moments of self-doubt, the need to find oneself, and the realization that we can't change our past, but we can change how we move forward.

This was amazing. Although told not to, I was desperate to cut cords with a twin flame. With no possibility of ever being together in this lifetime, holding onto their energy proved to be depressing. After this meditation I feel unburdened, centered and relieved. I will continue to do this meditation should I feel any of that energy trickle back to me. The world looks and feels brighter to me today after giving myself permission to claim back my energy. Yes, I cried, too. I didn’t think it was possible to feel this free again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@sarahmcnamara2975
does this help bring twinflame closer
@lucipher7327
Sarah McNamara, not in my experience. In fact, I haven’t seen my twin-flame in more than a year. They’ve moved on with someone else. Yeah, it’s hard.
@carolinec1262
The exact same happened to me. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish you all strength and healing.
@caressamenard4882
I just did this to release my twin flame. At this time he was just too toxic for me and he needs a lot of healing before we can have that beautiful connection. It hurts but I'm ok with it
@pixpixpix394
Here because of a twin flame too. Thank you for this ❤️
@shannoncoller
