Take It All
Live Like Glass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand up, stand up!
This is the part where you fall into the ground and I
Stand up, stand up!
This is the part where you fall
Your skin will be my new face
I've got nothing but time and I can't wait
Dig deep, dig deep
To numb myself
The moment is now
The tide is coming in, your blood is on my hands
The tide is coming in, just let it sink in
We're never backing down
We've only come so far
We are undefeated
And if their light should fall
We'll go and take it all
Colors of your face are slowly drifting away
Soon there will be nothing but a smile on my face
Stand with me, just stand with me
Stand with me they'll never
They'll never take us alive
So say your prayers, but where is your god?
No where is your god now that you're begging me?
And when the lights go out, you can hear them sing
They will tear you apart, they will tear you apart
You can run, but there's no escape
We're never backing down
We've only come so far
We are undefeated
And if their light should fall




We'll go and take it all
They'll never take us alive!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Take It All by Live Like Glass depict an intense and dark emotional experience. The song speaks about the determination to stand up and fight, even when the odds are against us. The opening lines call for action, asking the listener to stand up and join the singer in their journey. The subsequent lines are a warning that the singer is not to be underestimated; they are powerful enough to make their opponent fall to the ground. The lyrics also suggest that the singer’s ultimate goal is to take everything, including the opponent's skin, indicating their desire for total victory.


The lyrics are filled with imagery of violence and destruction. The singer expresses their willingness to “dig deep” and numb themselves in order to achieve their goals. They know that time is on their side and they will take advantage of it to emerge victorious. The imagery of the tide coming in and washing the opponent's blood on their hands further emphasizes the violent nature of the battle that lies ahead. The triumphant vow that they will never back down, and that they're undefeated, speaks to their determination and strength.


The song also touches on larger existential themes, such as the presence or absence of a higher power in times of adversity. The lines “So say your prayers, but where is your god? No where is your god now that you're begging me?” suggest that the singer sees themselves as more powerful than a higher power. This underlines the importance of self-determination in the human experience. The final lines, “They'll never take us alive!” are a powerful call to arms that encapsulate the entire song's message; we must not give up, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
