Taken
Marina Kaye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And turned out on my soul
Threw careful caution to the wind
How was I to know?
Then once you'd seen the tender scars
Sweet opportunity
And while you promised you'll be true
I'd rather die in the moment
Than let you keep what you find
And this is not nearly over
What you have stolen is mine
You hide behind your legal minds
We dance to your command
An empty soul without a spine
But I've the axe to grind
I'd rather die in the moment
Than let you keep what you find
And this is not nearly over
What you have stolen is mine
Woe is this intensity
The burning fire, that freezes me
Your cold lies, they sicken me
Your evil breed it haunting me
I'd rather die in the moment
Than let you keep what you find
And this is not nearly over
What you have stolen is mine
I'd rather die in the moment
Than let you keep what you find
And this is not nearly over
What you have stolen is mine
I broke my rules and let you in
And turned out on my soul
In "Taken," Marina Kaye sings about someone who has broken her rules and entered her life. She trusted this person, but soon discovered that they were not who they appeared to be. The lyrics suggest that this person promised her love and commitment, but in reality, was only using her for their own benefit. The singer chooses to confront this person and take back what they have stolen from her.
The first verse describes how the singer let down her guard and allowed this person into her life. She took a risk, but it ultimately turned out badly. The second verse reveals that this person saw her vulnerabilities and took advantage of them. They promised her love and commitment, but were really using her for their own selfish reasons.
The chorus highlights the singer's determination to reclaim what has been taken from her. She would rather die than let this person keep what they have stolen. The lyrics suggest that this person has something of value that the singer wants back, be it physical or emotional. The singer refuses to back down and declares that this is not over.
The bridge uses vivid imagery to describe the singer's feelings about this situation. She is overwhelmed by the intensity of her emotions and the pain caused by this person's actions. The singer describes this person as evil and haunting, further emphasizing the weight of their betrayal.
Overall, "Taken" is a defiant song about taking back control and fighting for what one believes in. The singer's powerful vocals and raw lyrics make the message of the song clear: never give up, even in the face of adversity.

I broke my rules and let you in
I broke my principles and allowed you into my life
And turned out on my soul
And it has had a negative impact on my emotional state
Threw careful caution to the wind
I disregarded any warnings or concerns I had
How was I to know?
I was unaware of the consequences of my actions
Then once you'd seen the tender scars
Once you noticed my inner pain and vulnerability
Sweet opportunity
You saw an opportunity to take advantage
And while you promised you'll be true
And despite your promises to be loyal
Oh, you were fucking me
You were actually using me for your own gain
I'd rather die in the moment
I would prefer to experience intense feelings in the present than let you benefit from my pain
Than let you keep what you find
Than allow you to continue taking advantage of me
And this is not nearly over
This situation is far from resolved
What you have stolen is mine
You have taken something from me that is rightfully mine
You hide behind your legal minds
You use your lawyers and the legal system to protect yourself
We dance to your command
We are forced to follow your orders and comply with your wishes
An empty soul without a spine
You lack a moral compass and have no backbone
But I've the axe to grind
But I am prepared to fight back against your exploitation
Woe is this intensity
The emotional anguish I feel is overwhelming
The burning fire, that freezes me
The internal conflict is both passionate and paralyzing
Your cold lies, they sicken me
Your dishonesty and deceit make me physically ill
Your evil breed it haunting me
Your harmful actions continue to torment me
I broke my rules and let you in
I violated my own standards and allowed you entry into my life
And turned out on my soul
And it has negatively impacted my well-being
I'd rather die in the moment
I would rather face the intense emotions of the immediate moment than allow you to profit from my loss
Than let you keep what you find
Than permit you to retain the benefits you have extracted from me
And this is not nearly over
I intend to fight back and make things right
What you have stolen is mine
You have taken something that rightfully belongs to me

Me encanta su voz
Pleepers 17
Très rare sont les chanteuses(eurs) dont le timbre ou le grain de voix ou la sonorité, je ne sais pas comment dire, est le même tant sur un support (CD, usb) qu'en live concert. Marina fait partie très largement de ce petit cercle fermé de très grands.
