Lyrics
It takes a lot to hide a weapon
It requires significant effort to conceal a harmful object.
It takes a lot to hold your hand out
It requires considerable effort to offer help or support.
It takes a mess to learn a lesson
Mistakes and difficulties are necessary to gain understanding.
It takes a breath to let the air out
Taking a breath is necessary to release tension or stress.
But I was never quite sure
Uncertainty about something.
Spend an evening lying on the floor
Spending time in a vulnerable or defeated state.
Oh, I was never quite sure
Continued uncertainty.
It takes lot to watch it happen
It takes a significant emotional toll to witness events unfold.
It takes a lot to find distraction
It requires effort to divert attention from distressing situations.
From all the noise and all the bad bits
To escape from chaos and negativity.
All the boys and all the habits
Struggling with relationships and behaviors.
But I was never quite sure
Continued uncertainty despite experiences.
Monday morning lying on the floor
Feeling defeated or low at the start of the week.
Oh, I was never quite sure
Reinforcement of ongoing uncertainty.
But it’s true,
Someone will be there for you
Assurance that someone will offer support or help.
Someone will be there for you
Repetition of the assurance of being supported.
Someone will be there for you
Continued repetition emphasizing support.
Someone will be there for you
Reiteration of the presence of someone for support.
Holding a hand to the floor
Bringing someone or something down to a vulnerable position.
Like twilight has reached me before
Feeling as though darkness or negativity has always been attractive.
I found it easy ignoring
Finding it easy to overlook or disregard something.
The dark always seemed so alluring
The appeal or allure of darkness.
