Take Your time
Sky Salt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems my hope has run dry
Where will it be,
That I'll be wondering
Till the end of time
Take your time, take your time
To go down, down in flames
You just run terrified
I'd run if I knew a place to run to
But I still don't know where it's at
How does it feel to have been hiding
For all this time?
When I look back
I see myself in your face
When I look back
I see myself in your place
When I look back
I see myself in your face
The song "Take Your Time" by Sky Salt is a poignant reflection on the search for home and the search for oneself. Throughout the song, the singer expresses a deep longing to find a place they can call home, a place where they can find hope. However, this search has left them feeling empty and hopeless, as though they will be wandering until the end of time. The repetition of the phrase "When I look back, I see myself in your (face/place)" adds to the sense of searching and the connection between the singer and the listener.
The chorus of the song serves as a warning to those who are rushing headlong into a destructive situation. The singer encourages the listener to take their time and not to rush into a situation that could lead to their downfall. The imagery of "going down in flames" and being "sick and tired" highlights the danger that lies ahead if the listener does not pause and consider their choices.
Overall, "Take Your Time" is a song that encourages listeners to take a moment to pause and reflect on their lives. The search for home and for oneself can be a difficult and painful journey, but with patience and perseverance, it is possible to find the answers we seek.
