Took out a Loan
Unveiling the Currency of Emptiness: A Journey Through 'Took out a Loan'
Lyrics
I took out a loan on my empty heart, babe
I borrowed emotions or feelings for my heart, which currently feels empty.
I took out a loan for my patient soul
I borrowed patience for my soul, indicating a need for endurance or tolerance.
And I feel alive as long as I don't need you
Feeling alive is contingent on not needing the person addressed in the song.
And I feel alive as long as I keep hold
Feeling alive is dependent on maintaining control or possession.
I took out a loan on my empty heart, babe

And I feel alive as long as I don't need you

And I feel alive as long as I keep hold
