take that Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were giants all along
On the surface and all around us
We are giants, we are strong
I see you standing, see you dancing
On the pavement, in the park
We are giants, can you feel it
I think I might be heading out of body
I've gotta love, you've gotta love somebody
When I look in your eyes
I'm bigger than the night sky
As high as the sun, high as a storm
We are giants, we are giants
We are giants
There are giants across the water
There are giants heading home
In the middle of the madness
There are giants being born
I feel us breaking out of empty glory
I've gotta love, you've gotta love somebody like you
When I look in your eyes
I'm bigger than the night sky
As high as the sun, high as a storm
We are giants, we are giants
When I look in your eyes
I'm bigger than the night sky
As high as the sun, high as a storm
We are giants, we are giants
We are giants in our hearts
We are giants, every one of us
We are giants in our hearts
We are giants, we are giants
When I look in your eyes
I'm bigger than the night sky
As high as the sun, high as a storm
We are giants, we are giants
We are giants
We are giants
As high as the sun, high as a storm
We are giants, we are giants
We are giants
The song "Giants" by Take That is an uplifting anthem that celebrates the power and strength of the human spirit. The lyrics express a sense of awe and wonder at the fact that we are all "giants" in our own way, capable of achieving great things and making a positive impact on the world around us.
The song begins by acknowledging the fact that we may not always see ourselves as giants, but in reality, we are much stronger and more capable than we give ourselves credit for. The chorus repeats the phrase "we are giants" as a reminder of our inherent power and potential. The verse about "heading out of body" could be interpreted as the moment when we transcend our physical limitations and tap into a higher level of consciousness or spiritual awareness.
The second verse draws attention to the fact that there are giants all around us, both in the sense of other people who are doing great things, and in the larger sense of the universe and its infinite possibilities. The line "we are giants being born" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that there is always a new generation of giants emerging to take up the mantle of progress and change.
Overall, "Giants" is a song about empowerment, positivity, and the universal human experience. It encourages listeners to see themselves and others in a new light, and to realize that we are all capable of achieving greatness if we believe in ourselves and support one another.
