Take A Chance
Rigby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's calling my name
And it's calling for you
Feel the shivers
And the sun on my face
As I jump into the new
All the sorrows that day
And so do you
I lift you up
like it's a movie cliche
A beautiful thing to do
Heart's still pounding, mad men's strife
Never felt so alive, you got to
Take a chance
Although you're falling on air
Take a chance
There's only one shot to have at
True romance
You got the feeling now
Wo-wo-wo-wo
T-T-T-Take a chance
Why don't you take a chance
At the office
and I'm counting my days
Should quit my job for good
Smile arises
as I'm walking away
Mr Bossman screw you too
Heart's still pounding, mad men's strife
Never felt so alive, you got to
Take a chance
Although you're falling on air
Take a chance
There's only one shot to have at
True romance
You got the feeling now
Wo-wo-wo-wo
T-T-T-Take a chance
Come on and take a chance
And I never ever felt this way before
Cause I really gave a damn but not anymore
Freedom lies within acting like a fool
And I never ever felt so sure in my life
They see us coming up, standing up to the knife
This one is for you
Take a chance
Although you're falling on air
Take a chance
There's only one shot to have at
True romance
You got the feeling now
Wo-wo-wo-wo
T-T-T-Take a chance
Come on and take a chance
Why don't you take a chance
In the song "Take A Chance" by Rigby, the singer describes her desire to take a risk and make a change in her life. She imagines jumping into a river and feeling the sun on her face as a symbol of cleansing herself from the sorrows of the past. She encourages her listener, (possibly herself) to take a chance on love and to embrace the unknown because when one is falling on air, it's the best time to take that leap of faith. No matter how scary it might seem to take that chance, they should follow their heart and do what feels right. The second verse describes the decision to leave a job and pursue something that feels more meaningful. The singer takes the bold step to walk away from an unfulfilling job, and with a smile, tells their former boss to take a hike. All these, she says, are necessary steps to find one's true freedom, the kind that lies within acting like a fool, releasing oneself, and taking a chance.
Throughout the song, the message is clear that living a life full of fear is not worth it, and that taking a chance is the best way to feel alive. The chorus of "Take a Chance" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the importance of living life boldly and fully.

Above the river
I am standing above a river
And it's calling my name
The feeling of jumping into the river is so strong that I feel like the river is calling my name
And it's calling for you
I want you to feel the same pull towards the river that I am feeling
Feel the shivers
I am feeling excited and nervous at the same time
And the sun on my face
The warmth of the sun is making me feel alive
As I jump into the new
I am taking a leap of faith and trying something new
Water rinses
The water is washing away my troubles
All the sorrows that day
I am leaving behind all the troubles of the day in the water
And so do you
I want you to cleanse your spirit by jumping into the river as well
I lift you up
I am pulling you up to stand next to me

as I'm walking away
As I am leaving my job behind
Mr Bossman screw you too
I am giving my boss a message of disrespect as I leave
And I never ever felt this way before
I have never felt so free and alive before
Cause I really gave a damn but not anymore
I used to care about what others thought, but not anymore
Freedom lies within acting like a fool
True freedom comes from taking risks and not caring about other people's opinions
And I never ever felt so sure in my life
I have never been so confident about my decision before
They see us coming up, standing up to the knife
People are noticing that we are taking a risk and standing up for what we believe in
This one is for you
This one is for everyone who has ever taken a risk and stood up for themselves
Come on and take a chance
I am urging you to take a risk
