Take the Lead
Journey of Self-Discovery: In Search of Sasquatch's 'Take the Lead'
Lyrics
Tell me something I wanna hear
Tell me something positive or comforting
Tell me something, oh it's been such a year
Expressing a desire for reassurance after a challenging year
Show me something I want to see
Show me something visually appealing or meaningful
Show me something
Reiterating the desire to see something significant
Oh, baby, please
A plea for emotional connection or understanding
A momentary silence came
Describing a brief pause or break in communication
"What's your sign? What's your name?
Quoting a question about astrological signs and names
Can you read it in the stars tonight?
Pondering if destiny or fate can be discerned from the stars
Or has it been washed out by blaring city lights?"
Questioning whether external influences have obscured signs
Give me vigour, give me speed
Requesting energy and quickness
In breeding mediocrity
Criticizing the breeding of mediocrity
Better times there never were
Nostalgically reflecting on an idealized past
Though not that I could say for sure
Expressing uncertainty about the past
Technicolor ballet school
Referencing a vivid and vibrant school of dance
"Girls her age can be so cruel"
Commenting on the cruelty of girls at that age
Give me vigour, give me speed
Reiterating the desire for energy and quickness
Can someone else please take the lead?
Expressing a wish for someone else to take charge
Show me who I used to be
Asking to rediscover one's former self
Can't recall, that person's lost on me
Admitting difficulty in recalling the past self
Tell me I am better now
Seeking affirmation of personal improvement
Missed the why, can't find the how
Feeling uncertain about the reasons and methods of improvement
In alleyways and parking lots
Describing places associated with losing oneself
Those places found in getting lost
Highlighting the discovery in getting lost
On snowy days in coffee shops
Recalling moments of introspection in familiar places
A lonely mind can think such dreadful thoughts
Reflecting on the negative thoughts that can arise when alone
Give me vigour, give me speed
Reiterating the desire for energy and quickness
In breeding mediocrity
Rebuking the promotion of mediocrity
Better times there never were
Nostalgically idealizing the past again
Though not that I could say for sure
Expressing uncertainty about the past
Technicolor ballet school
Repeating the imagery of a vibrant dance school
"Girls her age can be so cruel"
Reiterating the cruelty of girls at that age
Give me vigour, give me speed
Reiterating the desire for energy and quickness
Can someone else please take the lead?
Expressing a wish for someone else to take charge
Give me vigour, give me speed
Repeating the plea for energy and quickness
