Taken From Me
Taken Moments: A Tale of Liberation and Redemption
Lyrics
Too soon
Expressing that events occurred prematurely.
For too long
Enduring an extended period of time.
I've waited
Describing a period of anticipation.
The moment is finally here
The awaited moment has arrived.
There's nowhere
No available options or paths.
To go now
Feeling cornered with no escape.
Berated, the last time I swear
Recalling a negative experience, pledging it won't happen again.
Something's setting in
Sensing a change or realization.
Rend the wound again
Reopening emotional wounds.
Directed by your hand
Actions influenced by someone else.
The sun, it rises
Symbolic reference to a new beginning.
And I don't want to see you there
Unwillingness to encounter a specific person or situation.
And I don't want to keep you waiting long
Commitment to a short wait.
Got no idea what you are in for
Lack of awareness about future challenges.
Forget it
Choosing to disregard or dismiss.
And I don't wanna take you down
Unwilling to bring someone down.
I guess I cannot bare the sight of
Aversion to witnessing a specific expression or behavior.
You, and that devil's grin
Disapproval of a deceptive smile.
Truth hurts, karma's a bitch
Consequences of dishonesty and acknowledgment of karma.
All the things you know you've taken from me
List of intangible losses caused by someone.
Honesty, it perserveres
Recognition of the enduring power of honesty.
My vantage, the story it's clear
Understanding the situation from a clear perspective.
What I have to do now
Contemplating necessary actions for the future.
As time goes by
Passage of time and its impact on the narrative.
The tale it turns
Evolution of the story over time.
On my levee
A metaphorical reference to a personal barrier.
The tables turn
Shift in circumstances or dynamics.
Oh
An emotional exclamation or realization.
No facile demands
Avoiding superficial requests or expectations.
No more second chance
No more opportunities for redemption.
Ego in your hands
Acknowledging the control someone has over ego.
The moon, it rises
Symbolic reference to a new phase or change.
And I don't want to see you there
Reiteration of reluctance to encounter a specific person or situation.
And I don't want to keep you waiting long
Commitment to a brief waiting period.
Got no idea what you are in for
Remaining uncertain about future challenges.
Forget it
Choosing to ignore or dismiss once again.
And I don't wanna take you down
Aversion to causing harm to someone.
I guess I cannot bare the sight of
Disapproval of a deceptive smile, repeating the sentiment.
You, and that devil's grin
Consequences of dishonesty and acknowledgment of karma, repeating the sentiment.
Truth hurts, karma's a bitch
List of intangible losses caused by someone, repeating the sentiment.
All the things you know you've taken from me
Final repetition of the list of losses, emphasizing their significance.
I don't want your price
Refusal to accept a suggested deal or compromise.
Now I'm free of your vice
Freedom from the influence or control of a negative force.
Let me breathe again
A request to experience liberation and relief.
(It goes on and on and on please release me)
Expression of a desire for release from ongoing struggles.
Your feathers clipped
Symbolic imagery of overcoming restrictions.
With a flick of the wrist
A metaphorical representation of independence.
While I soar in the sky on my own
Embracing personal freedom and autonomy.
You always knew but never said it
Acknowledgment of unspoken knowledge or truths.
All the things you know you've taken from me
Final repetition of the
