Takamachi Walk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like it? Love it? Yeah, I bet you want it
Like it? (yeah) Love it? (yeah)
Yeah, I bet you want it
Like it? (yeah) Love it? (yeah)
Yeah, I bet you want it
The rhythm of the repetition
I'll drag you in
Indulge you in a sick addiction
Tempted by me
You cannot see
The fate that's swirling around you
I got what you need
But you'll never be free
It's you that I am conquering
A dragon slayer in the depths of the mines
You didn't heed the warnings, you ignored all the signs
Judgement Day is coming and the killer arrives
Crawling through the dark, it's just a matter of time
I'll catch you, I'll hold you close, 'cause baby
You said you love me, and you'll never let go
So I won't
It's poison, this push and pull
Just take me, I'll show you everything I know
Enraptured by the energy
Inside this labyrinth, it's only you and me
So again I pretend that there's someone who can make me feel complete
Like it? Love it? Yeah, I bet you want it
Like it? Love it? Then I'll keep it coming
In the darkness
I can hear you breathing
It's game over
Imma leave you bleeding
Break you apart
Gnash my fangs, spit you out
Rip out your heart
You know I don't fuck around
Grind up your bones
Your pain is my favorite sound
You're not alone
Add you to my body count
So what?
If I'm insane, I'm fucking crazy
Too much
These bastards think that they can take me
So what?
I'll show you why you can't escape me
Too fun
'Cause I'm a game you can't stop playing
A lust for blood
The passion slithers through my body now
Let's change it up
It might excite me if you pin me down
But you won't
Don't come close
I'll drag you down to hell, and you'll be a ghost
'Cause I
I'll get you, I'll hold you close, 'cause baby
If you keep running, then I can't let you go
So I don't
Wake me up, open my eyes, ignite me
Let's put our lives out on the line
Dangerous and wild, we
Could love like this for all eternity
So again I pretend that there's someone who can make me feel like more than just a centipede
I'll catch you, I'll hold you close, 'cause baby
You said you love me, and you'll never let go
So I won't
It's poison, this push and pull
Just take me, I'll show you everything I know
Enraptured by the energy
Inside this labyrinth, it's only you and me
So again I pretend that there's someone who can make me feel complete
Like it? Love it? Yeah, I bet you want it
Like it? Love it? Yeah, I bet you want it
Like it? (yeah) Love it? (yeah)
Yeah, I bet you want it
Like it? (yeah) Love it? (yeah)
Yeah, I bet you want it
The song "Dragon" by Takamachi Walk showcases an intense and dangerous relationship between two people. The repetitive chorus "Like it? Love it? Yeah, I bet you want it" highlights the push and pull dynamic of the relationship, where one person is constantly trying to control and seduce the other. The lyrics from the perspective of the person in power, who is consumed by the desire to hold onto the other person and has no intention of letting them go. They are described as a "dragon slayer," and they view the other person as their conquest.
Throughout the song, the lyrics become increasingly violent and aggressive, with references to "breaking apart" and "grinding up bones." The chorus becomes almost like a taunt, with the repetition of "Like it? Love it?" suggesting that the singer is daring the other person to try and leave, but ultimately they know that they hold all the power.
