Lyrics
What makes these boys fall hard
Questioning what drives these boys to fall deeply in love.
Over all the girls they have fought and won
Despite their conquests, these boys pursue numerous girls.
These kings work hard and long
Describing those in power who work tirelessly.
Just to ensure that their girls don't run
Working hard to ensure their partners remain committed.
Oh no, nobody has taught them to love slow
These individuals lack guidance in experiencing slow, deliberate love.
They're crying out at the streets below
Expressing emotional distress publicly.
Why don't you stay with me
Requesting someone to remain in their company.
I think you can save this beast
Believing the person can help redeem a negative situation.
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Despite the plea, they will leave the person alone.
Honey that's what takers do
Describing the action of selfish individuals who take without giving back.
I'm a thief and I'll take you
Declaring themselves as someone who takes advantage of others.
What makes these monsters cry
Questioning the reason behind the emotional turmoil of these monstrous characters.
You can see the gold reflecting in their eyes
Describing the greed these individuals possess, symbolized by gold in their eyes.
Yeah their chests are heaving, skin stretched tight
Physical manifestations of their greed - heavy chests and stretched skin.
Greedy hands grab what feels right
Acting selfishly and taking whatever they desire.
Oh no, nobody taught them to let go
No one has taught them the virtue of letting things go.
They don't know
Emphasizing their lack of understanding or awareness.
Why don't you stay with me
Repeated request for someone to stay by their side.
I think you can save this beast
Believing that person has the potential to change their negative behavior.
But I'll leave you in an empty room
Despite the request, they will abandon the person in an empty room.
Honey that's what takers do
Reiterating the behavior of selfish individuals who take without giving.
I'm a thief and I'll take you (Woah)
Reaffirming the persona as a thief who exploits others.
Woah
Repetitive vocalizations without specific meaning.
Woah
-Woah
-Woah
-Woah
-(Woah) If you stay
Highlighting the consequences if someone stays with the selfish individual - they will suffer due to innocence and enduring love despite the taker's nature.
(Woah) You would break
-(Woah) You're way too innocent to take
-(Woah) After these violent days
-(Woah) You still love
-(Woah) And I still take
-Stay with me
Repetition of the plea for someone to stay.
I think you could save this beast
Believing the person has the ability to change the situation.
But I'll leave you in an empty room
However, despite the request, they will leave the person alone in an empty room.
Honey that's what takers do
Reiterating the pattern of selfish individuals who take advantage of others.
I'm gonna take you and you'll stay with me
Continuation and repetition of the theme - expressing the intent to take advantage of someone while acknowledging the pattern of leaving them alone.
Well I think you could save this beast
-But I'll leave you with an empty room
-Honey that's what takers do
-I'm a thief and I'll take you
Reiterating the self-identification as a thief who exploits others.
