Give & Take
THE O.N.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every room every place
Its a maze with no escape
Every world everything
Falls apart and fades away
Let it roll
Let us play
Turn it on
Stay awake
Feel the Rush, you have a chance
To lose it all or gain trust

Take and give
Give and take babe
Take and give babe hm
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
Fail and win babe hm
For as long as I live
Take and give
Give and take babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you

See the smoke, taste of fog
No more Light, endless night
Come along, nothing's wrong
Who is next? The game reversed
Pick me up, swallow me
Fill my cup, set me free
In the end, you will see
I'm the one
It's meant to be

Take and give
Give and take babe
Take and give babe hm
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
Fail and win babe hm
For as long as I live
Take and give
Give and take babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you

My heart, my heart
Was broken twice
Who cares, who cares
I paid the price
I know, i know
I shouldn't fail
My soul, my soul
Is not for sale

My heart, my heart
Was broken twice
Who cares, who cares
I paid the price
I know, i know
I shouldn't fail
My soul, my soul
Is not for sale

Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow
Ow wow wow Ow wow wow

Take and give
Give and take babe
Take and give babe hmmmm
Fail and win
Win and fail babe
Fail and win babe hmmmm
For as long as I live
Take and give
Give and take babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you
Fail and win




Win and fail babe
I'm getting, I'm moving, I'm staying closer to you

Overall Meaning

In "Give & Take," THE O.N.G. talks about the ups and downs of life, how everything falls apart and fades away. Every room and place is a maze with no escape, and every world is the same. However, there are a few things that can keep one going. One of them is the rush that we get when we try something new, lose all that we have or gain trust. The song looks at life as a game of give and take, where one is expected to give and take, win and fail. He is willing to take and give as long as he lives, whether he fails or wins.


In the second verse of the song, the artist talks about how everything is becoming obscure. The world slowly fades away, and everything is shrouded in darkness. Nevertheless, he finds comfort in the companionship of someone. He sings that he is getting, moving, and staying closer to the person. He sees life as a game of chance, where one can fail or win. Moreover, the artist states that he has paid the price for failing to take, but his soul is not for sale.

Lyrics ~
Sundown, and I'm lonely in this house
It's feeling one-dimensional to me
We've been trying hard to figure out
Give and take and how to be
But don't you see?

I would give you everything that you wanted
And I would never ask for any of it back
And if I could take only as much as I needed
I would take everything you have

Sunrise, and you're lying next to me
Wrap me in your arms like I'm made of glass
I need all your love
Not just one piece
Hoping that it ain't too much for me to ask

'Cause I would give you everything that you wanted
And I would never ask for any of it back
And if I could take only as much as I needed
I would take everything you have

Don't wanna share
I want it all
All of the time
Tell me right now
You feel the same
And that you're mine
Baby

Don't you know
I'd give you everything that you wanted
And I would never ask for any of it back
And if I could take only as much as I needed
I would take everything
I would take everything you have
Everything you have

This album is going straight into my car the next road trip I do this month. Perfect soundtrack to my life right now. Like I’m time traveling back but to a new version of me. Album of reflection.

@jellyrcw12

Fr, the best road trip music!

@steviejmes

Might be my favorite song on the album.

@VisualOMEN

My life's been pretty rough recently, but last night, I finally got some peaceful sleep, thanks to this track. I've been a fan of Kacey since 2017, and her music has been with me through thick and thin. Right now, when I desperately needed something to hold onto, this song, this entire album, couldn't have arrived at a better moment. The melody has this timeless, yearning feel as if it's reaching out for something long lost, and the way she sings the 'I would' part feels like whatever was missing has come back.
I'm so grateful for art, so grateful for music. Kacey, you've helped me discover my deeper well. 💗

@22hetha

Ugh, so peaceful but also poignant. I'm yet to find a song I don't like by you Kacey, thank y ou for sharing your gifts with us <3

@Mutlusonsuz-uw8dk

@sugarpink758

Best song on the album! ❤❤❤
