Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That Loving me could be like this
But you're not alone
My mind was blown
I could not resist
And now I find myself
Taken over by the feeling
It's too late to say goodbye now
There's a place in me
That belongs to you, baby
So relax and be mine
Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, I'll show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Too Bad for you
You can't free yourself from me
Don't bother to
You'll have to stay here forever
And now you find yourself
Taken over by the feelin'
And you know within your heart
It's too late to say goodbye, now
There's a place in you that belongs
to me, baby
So relax and be mine
Honey, I can't feel sorry for ya
You've got me lovin' you so much
I just can't let go
You should've known one day
That love was gonna catch up to ya
And now you know
Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, I'll show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Flyin' high in the friendly skies
Feels so good sometimes it makes me cry
This love's got to be here for always
I can't give you up,
I won't give you up
No way
Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, I'll show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
The song ‘Love’s Taken Over’ by Teenage Fanclub & Jad Fair is a love ballad that talks about the exhilarating feeling of falling in love. The lyrics speak to the idea that love can take a person by surprise and the emotions can be overwhelming. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that their partner may not have known what they had gotten into when they started a relationship with them. However, now they find themselves completely taken over by love, unable to resist the feelings that have consumed them.
As the song progresses, the singer describes how they feel that their love for their partner will last forever. They implore their partner to relax and be with them because they feel that there is a place in them that belongs to their love. The song’s chorus speaks to the power of love that has taken over both the singer and their partner. The lyrics emphasize the euphoric feelings that both people are experiencing and the passion that they share.
In the final verse, the song takes a slightly darker turn as the singer tells their partner that they cannot escape the love that they share. They assert that they will do whatever it takes to keep their love intact and that there is no way they will give them up. The final lines speak to the transcendental nature of their love, describing it as something that has the power to make them cry and that they feel will be with them always.
