Take Over
YellowStraps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take over your sadness
Break what you despise
Haze over your madness
Take care of your life
Wasted all your highlights
Treasure what you've got
Wasted all your time now
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
Take over your life
Take over your blindness
Trusted all your lies uh
Troubled by the useless
I'm not the only one to change your past will be
Not there
Will be
Not there for you
I'm not the only one to save your life will be
Not there
Will be
Not there for you
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
Bless your life
Into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
You've let your body float into my shell
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
The lyrics to YellowStraps' song "Take Over" explore themes of control, dependency, and the weight of emotional baggage. The metaphor of taking over someone's life and madness is used to represent the singer's desire to take control of their own life and their attempts to guide the other person towards a healthier path. The repeated line "You've let your body float into my shell" suggests a sense of entanglement and shared responsibility for each other's well-being.
The first verse encourages the listener to take control of their life and to value what they have before it's too late. The second verse addresses the other person directly, urging them to let go of their blindness and the lies they tell themselves. The repeated refrain "I'm not the only one" is an acknowledgment that the singer is not the only person involved in the situation and that change cannot happen without cooperation from both parties. The final lines "Bless your life, into my shell" and "You've let your body float into my shell" suggest a desire for intimacy and closeness, but also a sense of burden and responsibility.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of two individuals struggling with their own demons and trying to navigate a complex relationship. The song suggests that healing and growth are possible, but only if both parties are willing to take responsibility for their own lives and work together to create a healthier dynamic.
