Take It All Away
John O'Callaghan feat. Audrey Gallagher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take another piece of me
Take it anyway you need it
What you get or what you see
There really isn't any secret
And with the hand as cold as ice
Oh, there you go
Take it all away
Watching as you break
All I am is you
Take it all away
I wanna fall to pieces
I wanna fall to pieces
Turn around and walk away
Find a different kind of vision
When you take all you came to take
When you said all you came to say
Ohh, and you know
Take it all away
Watching as you break
All I am is you
Take it all away
I wanna fall to pieces
You take all you came to take
You take all you came to take
You say all you came to say
All I am is you
Take it all away
I wanna fall to pieces
The lyrics of John O'Callaghan's song "Take It All Away" speak of surrendering oneself to someone else, giving them every part of oneself until there's nothing left to hold on to. The song starts with the singer wanting to fall to pieces and is willing to give away the remaining pieces to someone else. It's a deep-rooted desire to let go of control and to be completely open and vulnerable to someone else. The chorus talks about this person watching as the singer breaks down and falls apart, and it leaves them with nothing but each other. The singer then tells the other person to turn around and walk away, to find another kind of vision because there's nothing more to take and nothing more to say.
The song is about emotional dependence and exposing oneself to someone else. The singer is willing to give every fiber of their being to someone else, knowing how much it would affect them. While it might seem like a form of weakness, it's also a sign of strength, as it takes courage to expose the most vulnerable parts of oneself to another person. This song speaks to those who have felt the need to be vulnerable to someone, to strip themselves of all their guards and let someone else in.

I wanna fall to pieces
I want to crumble emotionally
Take another piece of me
Take more of my emotions
Take it anyway you need it
Take it in any way that suits you
What you get or what you see
Whatever you get or see is what I present to you
There really isn't any secret
I am an open book
And with the hand as cold as ice
With a hand devoid of emotions
Oh, there you go
You are taking my emotions again
Take it all away
Take all of my emotions
Watching as you break
I'm watching myself disintegrate as you take more of me
All I am is you
You have taken all of me, all that remains is a shell
I wanna fall to pieces
I want to completely disintegrate
Turn around and walk away
Leave me be
Find a different kind of vision
Find a new way to see this situation
You take all you came to take
You have achieved your goal of taking all of me
You say all you came to say
You have communicated all that you needed to
Ohh, and you know
You know the impact you've had
