Nick Jonas/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath it all (ay)
You never wanna let me see the world outside
Don't let it show (ay)
This is her only chance
Let it happen
Can't hatch me if you can
Let your money talk
Your dirty thoughts for me
Take over, take over, take over
Like the crazy drug that you call 'Love Me'
Take over, take over, take over (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Take over, take over, take over
I wish that I could just read your mind
Tell me what I see (ay)
You always try to wear your disguise
Take it off of me (ay)
This is her only chance
Let it happen
Can't hatch me if you can, oh
Let your money talk
Your dirty thoughts for me
Take over, take over, take over
Like the crazy drug that you call 'Love Me'
Take over, take over, take over (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Take over, take over, take over
I know you understand
That I want you to stand
Right wherever I am (ay)
I know you understand
That I want you to stand
Right wherever I am (ay)
This is her only chance
Let it happen
Can't hatch me if you can, ooh
Let your money talk
Your dirty thoughts for me
Take over, take over, take over
Like the crazy drug that you call 'Love Me'
Take over, take over, take over (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Na nana nana nana (say)
Take over, take over, take over
In "Take Over", Nick Jonas sings about a "real bad girl" who keeps her true self hidden from the world, and even from him. He wants her to let down her guard and show him who she really is. He acknowledges that love can be like a "crazy drug" that takes over and controls everything. Jonas urges her to "take over" and let her money and dirty thoughts do the talking, while also emphasizing that this is her only chance to make a move.
The theme of the song seems to center around breaking down walls and taking risks. Jonas wants the girl to be brave, to let go of her protective shells, and to take over the experience. The song's chorus functions almost as a battle cry: over a catchy, upbeat melody, Jonas repeatedly encourages the girl to take charge, to let herself be seen, and to let her love take over.
One interpretation of the song could be that Jonas is using the "real bad girl" as a metaphor for himself or his own desires. He could be the one holding back, and this song is his way of giving himself permission to "take over" and be seen for who he truly is.
