Take A Piece
The Big Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear voices in my head
Kinda like a radio DJ
With free reign to spin
And when I'm lying in my bed
I can never really tell if I'm sleeping
Or tuning 'em in

And I'll never be enough 'cause I'm human
Be whatever when you get up, I still think I'm dreaming

Take a piece of me
Put me on the pages of your life story
And I'll give you everything until there's nothing left
'Cause I need you so much more than I need me

Oh, my head's like a West End show
And I think I might be playing the hero
But I don't know the words
And the audience is playing cool
But everybody knows the deal
They watch and I burn

And I'll never be enough, I think you're dreaming

Take a piece of me
Put me on the pages of your life story
And I'll give you everything until there's nothing left
'Cause I need you so much more than I need me

Be my diamond
Be my light
Blow me away
Come with your dynamite
And be my diamond
Be my light
Blow me away
Come with your dynamite and

Take a piece of me
Put me on the pages of your life story
And I'll give you every-
Take a piece of me
Put me on the pages of your life story
And I'll give you everything until there's nothing left

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the singer describes hearing voices in their head that resemble a radio DJ. These voices seem to have control over their thoughts and emotions, as they compare the experience to tuning into a radio station while lying in bed. The uncertainty between sleeping and listening to these voices highlights the blurring of reality and imagination.


The chorus reflects the singer's deep desire for connection and validation. They express a willingness to give everything they have to someone, even to the point of sacrificing their own self-identity. They believe they need this person more than they need themselves, suggesting a profound longing for companionship and a fear of being alone.


Moving onto the second verse, the singer compares their thoughts to a performance, specifically a West End show. They feel like they might be playing the role of the hero, but they struggle to find the right words, indicating a sense of insecurity or feeling inadequate. The audience, symbolizing the external world, appears disinterested or detached although aware of the truth behind the facade. The mention of burning suggests the emotional turmoil the singer experiences when their true self is exposed.


In the second repetition of the chorus, the singer questions their own worthiness. They doubt whether they can ever be enough for the person they are longing for, believing that the person is probably only dreaming about them, further fueling their insecurities.


The bridge introduces the idea of finding someone who can be their diamond, their source of brightness or inspiration. The mention of dynamite signifies the transformative and explosive effect this person can have on their life. It is an invitation to the individual who is their diamond to come along and blow them away with their energy and passion.


The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's offer to be a part of the other person's life story. It conveys their willingness to give everything they have until there is nothing left, indicating their belief that this person is essential to their existence. The last line expresses the singer's profound dependency on the other person, emphasizing that their need for them surpasses their own self-importance.

Of your life story
And I'll give you everything
Until there's nothing left to eat

'Cause I need you so much more than I need me

I work for Tesco and I'm a teamleader. This tune comes on very regularly and it's so addicting. Really talented bunch

Sir Fizz

are they mainstream in the UK?

Stephen Engelen

@Sir Fizz somewhat I guess. I've heard "your light" on TV before and the fact that one of their less known songs is on a company playlist well I guess they are mainstream

Genuinely thought this was a 90s song I was somehow unaware of, then looked at the upload date. Shocked but very pleased! Keep up the 90s rock tunes, very very authentic.

Laura Pope
