Take Me Apart
Unraveling Echoes: The Bittersweet Tale of Broken Giants
Lyrics
After two years
Reflecting on a two-year period
And two hundred thousand tears
Expressing a significant amount of tears
To have it end this way
Feeling disappointment at the way things ended
The people on the hill
Referring to people on a hill as symbolic
I know, they're up there still
Suspecting that those people still exist or endure
'Cause we were giants in those days
Recalling a time of greatness or power
And I was always the one
Being someone perceived as unable to adapt
You said could never adjust
Reference to previous difficulties in adjusting
Well, look at me now, girl
Asserting personal growth and success
And eat my dust
Challenging someone to acknowledge achievements
Because you always got
Noting a consistent pattern of getting desires fulfilled
What you wanted
Recognition of having one's desires met from the beginning
Right from the start
Encouraging completion of a task or ending a relationship
Now finish the job, take me apart
Linking personal dismantling to the other's desires
People at the college
Referring to reactions of people at college
God, they laughed and shook their heads
Describing laughter and disapproval from others
They remember us living
Recalling shared living experiences
But they would have
Speculating on the preference for witnessing death
Loved to seen us dead
Empty line
And you were always the one
Highlighting a past lack of compatibility
Who said I could never get along
Recalling skepticism about personal improvement
Well, look at me now, girl
Emphasizing present strength and resilience
'Cause I'm still strong
Empty line
You know you always got
Reiterating the partner's consistent fulfillment of desires
What you wanted
Reaffirming the pattern of immediate desire satisfaction
Right from the start
Encouraging the completion of a decisive action
Now finish the job, take me apart
Linking personal disassembly to partner's desires
I stole, I lied, I cried for you
Listing extreme actions taken for the partner
I nearly died for you
Expressing the intensity of emotional investment
You always got what you wanted
Reiterating the partner's consistent fulfillment of desires
Right from the start
Reaffirming the pattern of immediate desire satisfaction
Now finish the job, take me apart
Encouraging the completion of a decisive action
Take me apart, take me apart
Repetition of the request for personal dismantling
You always got what you wanted
Reiterating the partner's consistent fulfillment of desires
Right from the start
Reaffirming the pattern of immediate desire satisfaction
Now finish the job, take me apart
Encouraging the completion of a decisive action
