Take My Time
Lapdog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Indecision, so unfair
I'll take my time
Days go by
Oh, I
Wind is in my head
I will listen
Don't you know
I'll take my time
Days go by
Oh, I
Don't know why you been telling all your lies
Running all the way to say again
And it seems to me you should know how I feel
Something's on my mind
Where would you be if you took the time?
If you took your time
Make up my mind
Days go by
The lyrics to Lapdog's song "Take My Time" express the internal conflict of a person who is torn between their intuition and indecision. The singer emphasizes the importance of taking one's time to make decisions, rather than rushing into things blindly. The phrase "Wind is in my head" implies that the singer is feeling all sorts of emotions, confusion and turmoil that are causing internal restlessness. Nevertheless, the singer assures his listeners that he will listen to them and takes a subtle jibe at those who lie to him by saying "Don't you know I'll take my time?". The chorus emphasizes on the importance of taking one day at a time and not rushing through life.
The verse "Don't know why you been telling all your lies, Running all the way to say again," could be interpreted to mean that the singer is tired of people who constantly lie to him and want to correct their mistakes by saying the truth only after they are caught. The singer questions the listener on how they would feel if they took the time to think about their actions and make the right decision rather than rushing into anything.
Overall, "Take My Time" has a powerful message about the importance of taking time in your life and not rushing into anything blindly. It encourages the listener to think about their actions and make the right decision rather than just following the crowd.
