I Take You
Savior's Seduction: Unveiling the Dark Allure in Queensrÿche's 'I Take You'
Lyrics
You can't forgive me with blood on my lip?
You question my ability to be forgiven despite evident signs of violence.
I've feasted on your innocence, left you like trash on the floor
I have taken advantage of your purity, leaving you discarded like refuse.
You follow blindly, I run on empty
You blindly follow, while I am emotionally drained and exhausted.
I'll be the savior you crave
I will play the role of the rescuer that you yearn for.
If my language seems backwards then your vision is so unclear
If my expression is confusing, it's because your perception is unclear.
Your heartbeat in my hand begins to slow, way down
I have control over your life; your heartbeat, a symbol of life, slows down in my grip.
I take you, I take you slow
I take control of you, doing so deliberately and gradually.
And I take you
I assert dominance over you.
Fade in memories convenient to forget
I bring up memories that are easy to forget, possibly painful ones.
Tasted what you hid from me and I'm on to the next
I have discovered secrets you tried to conceal, and I am moving on without hesitation.
Automatic, catatonic I won't moralize with excuses for, "why me?"
I act without thought or emotion, refusing to justify myself with excuses like "why me?"
I love the fear in your eyes
I find pleasure in witnessing the fear reflected in your eyes.
It's all from memory and I'm running on empty
Everything is based on memory, and I continue with no emotional reserves.
I'll be the savior you crave
Despite emotional emptiness, I still present myself as the savior you desire.
If my language seems backwards, your vision is so unclear
If my communication is confusing, it's because your understanding is lacking.
Your heartbeat in my hand begins to slow
I control the pace of your heartbeat, indicating a sense of dominance.
It's over, I take you, I take you slow
The situation is concluding, and I am taking full control of you, deliberately and slowly.
If my language seems backwards, your vision is so unclear
Reiteration that my expression is confusing due to your unclear perception.
Your heartbeat in my hand begins to slow way down
Your heartbeat slows down significantly in my grip, emphasizing control.
I take you, I take you slow
I assert control over you intentionally and gradually, emphasizing dominance.
