Take It or Leave It
RedFaces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard
That it's all in my head when you say it's a mess
You don't know
Don't sell me a life in the palm of your hand
Can't afford it
Put the words in my mouth
But I'll spit them right out over you
So you can take it or leave it
But I won't let you slip right through
Cuz I know nothing is perfect
Certainly not me or you
And I just wanna be young and well
We just wanna be
Oh you said
That nothing is perfect
Certainly not me or you
If you stop for a second and turn on the light you will see
All the days that we spent caught up in arguments
Waste of time
So you can take it or leave it
But I won't let you slip right through
Cuz I know nothing is perfect
Certainly not me or you
And I just wanna be young and well
We just wanna be
Oh you said
That nothing is perfect
Certainly not me or you
So you can take it or leave it
But I won't let you slip right through
Cuz I know nothing is perfect
Certainly not me or you and
I just wanna be young and well
We just wanna be
Oh you said
I just wanna be young and well
We just wanna be loved you said
That nothing is perfect
Certainly not me or you
In the song "Take It or Leave It" by RedFaces, the lyrics seem to convey a message of self-discovery and independence. The opening line, "Stop looking for something I'll find on my own," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses a desire to find their own way and not be dependent on someone else's version of a perfect life. They acknowledge that there may be mess and imperfection in their life, but they are willing to accept it and move forward.
The chorus provides a clear message of the singer's intent, stating "So you can take it or leave it, but I won't let you slip right through, cuz I know nothing is perfect, certainly not me or you." Here, the singer asserts their independence and self-worth, making it clear that they will not be swayed by someone else's expectations.
The bridge of the song provides a moment of introspection, with the lyrics "If you stop for a second and turn on the light you will see, all the days that we spent caught up in arguments, waste of time." This suggests a realization that arguments with others aren't productive or conducive to personal growth.
Overall, "Take It or Leave It" seems to be a song about the importance of self-discovery, acceptance, and independence. It encourages listeners to stay true to themselves and not be defined by someone else's version of a perfect life.
