Take Good Care
Liv Kristine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the sun was down
I opened my eyes
And I looked around
All the stars were bound
To fall from the sky
I would make no sound
Take good care
Take good care

I can hold you
And console you
I can show you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one
I can hold you
Like I told you
I can fold you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one
Where's that distant light ?
There used to be one
Once we used to lie
Under the sun
All the things that I
Would treasure have gone
Now I'm satisfied
I can hold you
And console you
I can show you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one
I can hold you
Like I told you

I can fold you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Liv Kristine's song "Take Good Care" touch on the themes of loss, consolation, and hope. The song opens with the imagery of a dark night, where the singer has opened their eyes and looked around. They see that the stars are falling from the sky, but they choose to remain silent. This may indicate a sense of powerlessness or resignation in the face of a seemingly inevitable outcome.

The chorus serves as a reminder that even in the midst of loss, the singer is able to offer comfort to someone else. They can hold and console them, and even show them a new rainbow - a symbol of hope and promise. The repetition of the phrase "take good care" emphasizes the singer's desire to care for and protect the person they are addressing.

In the second verse, the singer reflects on the loss they have experienced, such as a distant light and treasured things. However, they seem to have found some measure of contentment or satisfaction in being able to offer comfort to someone else. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, as the singer again affirms their ability to offer care and hope to others.

When the sun was down
At night, when all was quiet

I opened my eyes
I became aware of my surroundings

And I looked around
I surveyed my environment

All the stars were bound
The stars were shining brightly

To fall from the sky
As if they were going to drop from the heavens

I would make no sound
I was silent, observing everything

Take good care
Be cautious, take care of yourself

Take good care
Be mindful of your well-being

I can hold you
I can provide comfort and support

And console you
I can offer solace and sympathy

I can show you another rainbow
I can offer hope and optimism

Take good care - I can make you one
Be cautious - I can help you find happiness

I can hold you
I will provide a shoulder to lean on

Like I told you
As I promised before

I can fold you another rainbow
I can bring you a new, brighter future

Take good care - I can make you one
Be cautious - I can help you find happiness

Where's that distant light ?
What happened to the hope we once had?

There used to be one
Hope used to guide us

Once we used to lie
We used to dream

Under the sun
In the warmth of brighter times

All the things that I
All the things that once mattered

Would treasure have gone
Have faded away

Now I'm satisfied
But now I find contentment in the present
