Take
PIG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome back, my friends
To this shit that never ends
There behind the glass
Is the ever spreading ass
Your thrills in hoc, we got electroshocks
Golden worlds and shit-filled pearls
Hands that steal and mouths that heal
So step right up and baby, you will feel...whole
I am your hole!

We got high flown airs, electric chairs
Hooks and whores, fucks and laws
Stay, shut up and take a little token
Keep your mouth shut baby
And your legs wide open

To the lonely preach, my sweet fake
Every dollar, we will take

Welcome back my, friends
To our sordid little end
We got hits and writs and lines of shit
A twisted take and a sweet mistake
We've got a serpent, sinner, loser, winner
Drunk or sober, it's never over
I'm whole

To the lonely preach, my sweet fake
Every dollar, we will take

Well, our thinking's slow
Our drinking's fast
Hope your torture truly lasts
You want reward
You want pain
We want risk
And we want veins

Keep your eyes shut, here's a little token
Keep your mouth shut, baby
And your legs wide open

Keep your eyes shut, here's a little token
Keep your mouth shut, baby
And your legs wide open

Dream on, baby
Dream on, baby, dream on
Dream on, baby
Dream on, baby, dream on

To the lonely preach, my sweet fake
Every dollar, we will take

Dream on, baby, dream on




Dream on, baby
Dream on, baby, dream on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to PIG's song "Take" explore themes of manipulation, exploitation, and the thirst for power and control. The opening lines sarcastically welcome back the listener to the never-ending cycle of corruption and greed that characterizes society. The "ever spreading ass" behind the glass represents the constant temptation and indulgence that people are offered, while the references to electroshocks and hooks and whores suggest a world of punishment and reward, where individuals are controlled through fear and desire.


The chorus of the song is particularly biting, as it addresses those who preach falsehoods and swindle others for their own gain. The line "every dollar, we will take" highlights the sense of entitlement and callous disregard for the well-being of others that appears to motivate those in power. The repeated refrain of "keep your mouth shut, baby, and your legs wide open" reinforces the idea of subjugation and exploitation, as people are reduced to objects to be used and discarded.


The verses of the song go on to depict a world of excess, where drugs and sex are used as tools of control, and where people are encouraged to take risks and get high. The line "hope your torture truly lasts" suggests a kind of sadism and a desire to see others suffer, while the final chorus encourages the listener to dream on, even as they are being manipulated and led astray.


Overall, PIG's "Take" is a dark and biting critique of modern society, where greed and corruption rule and individuals are reduced to pawns in a game of power.
