Toma
Puscifer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stole my patience.
Stole my pride.
Snatched the rhythm from my stride.
Kicked my certainty
Up the middle.
Knocked the wind out of
My romantic side.
Hopes and wishes set aflame.
What's your purpose here, whatcha hope to gain?
Took my dignity
Took my dignity
Burned a lover so earned an enemy.

Time to make it right
That's how it's gonna be
Watch you pay the toll right in front of me.
Time to pay your dues.
Time to set you straight.
Take what you dish out. Toma guey.

Hopes and wishes set aflame.
What's your purpose here, whatcha hope to gain?
Took my dignity




Took my dignity
Lost a lover

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Puscifer's song "Toma" describe the feeling of having one's patience, pride, and rhythm stolen by someone who has also knocked the wind out of their romantic side. The singer's hopes and wishes are set aflame as they struggle to understand the purpose of the one who has wronged them. The person in question has taken the singer's dignity and burned a lover, leading to the creation of an enemy. The tone of the song is one of anger and determination, as the singer seeks to make things right and demands that the offender pay their dues.


The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it seems that the singer is confronting someone who has betrayed them in some way. The repeated phrases "took my dignity" and "hopes and wishes set aflame" suggest that the singer feels violated and deeply hurt. The use of the word "Toma" is interesting because it is a Spanish word that means "take it." This further emphasizes the singer's desire to make the offender take responsibility for their actions and suffer the consequences.
