Make No Mistake...This Is the Take
Rock Star Supernova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We gotta call the doctor
I'm as sick as can be
Put my finger in the socket
Shocked the hell out of me

Got me dizzy from the drama
That is filling the air
I'm turning into nothing
I really don't care

When the lights are going out
It's all I can take


There's just something in the sound
Of an empty space

Feeling, watching, saying something
Creeping, touching, give me
Nothing

When the lights are going out
It's all I can take




There's just something in the sound
Of an empty space

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rock Star Supernova's song "Make No Mistake...This Is the Take" seem to represent a state of total confusion and despair. The first two lines suggest that the singer is physically ill and has experienced a shock, perhaps as a result of some reckless behavior. The next few lines depict a feeling of numbness and detachment from the world around the singer. The line "I'm turning into nothing/I really don't care" expresses the idea that the singer is losing touch with reality and becoming indifferent to their own existence.


The chorus of the song is where the emotional intensity reaches its peak. The line "When the lights are going out/It's all I can take" suggests that the singer is barely holding on to their sanity and could snap at any moment. The reference to "an empty space" in the following line could be interpreted in several ways: a literal emptiness, as in an empty room; a metaphorical emptiness, as in a lack of meaning or purpose; or a psychological emptiness, as in a feeling of void within oneself. The repetition of the word "nothing" in the next stanza reinforces the sense of emptiness and lack of fulfillment.


The song seems to be about a person who is lost and disillusioned, struggling to find their place in the world. The imagery of the empty space and the feeling of nothingness could represent a sense of isolation and loneliness, as if the singer is adrift in an ocean of uncertainty. The repetition of the phrase "it's all I can take" throughout the song suggests that the singer is fighting an internal battle and is at the brink of collapse.

Guys, you are all forgetting something here, this man left the giant stage of Metallica to pursue what he really wanted to do, music/career wise, rather than leaving it too late, hats off to Jason for doing what HE wanted to do, regardless of the Majority of fans who will disagree!

Jason você merece uma banda melhor!!!

chris_gpvd

They weren't meant to sell tickets, or to be good! They were paid to just jam together, and take the winner of the contest with them on a tour. That's it! Nothing more!
