Take A Look
J'son Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a look at me
And tell me what you see
I need somebody to love me for me
Why don't you take a look at me
And tell me what you see
I need somebody to love me for me
Everytime I look around there's someone
Your always there by my side
Never asking for to much
Any time I need someone to love me for me
Could you be the one to set my heart so free
Everytime I need you near (yeah)
To show that you care
I'm in need of love just take a look
Oh how I need someone to love me for me
Could you be the one to set my heart free
How I need you near to show that you care
I'm in need of love, just take a look (Yeah)
The lyrics of J'son's "Take a Look" indicate a deep longing for love and acceptance. The repeated plea to "take a look" represents the singer's desire for someone to see past their flaws and insecurities and accept them for who they truly are. The phrase "love me for me" emphasizes this point, as the singer wishes to find someone who will love them unconditionally, without expecting them to change or conform to others' expectations.
The first verse suggests that the singer has encountered many people in their life who have helped them but also doubted them. Despite this, there is someone who has remained a constant source of support and comfort for them. The second verse reinforces the idea that the singer needs someone to love them for who they are, as they express their longing for freedom from the constraints of societal norms and expectations.
The chorus of the song is the singer's direct appeal to the listener to be that person they are looking for. The chorus emphasizes the singer's need for love and care, and how they will feel truly fulfilled and happy once they find someone who can offer that to them. The repetition of "take a look" throughout the song creates a strong emotional impact, making it clear just how deep the singer's yearning for acceptance and love really is.
