The Taker
The Taker: Unveiling a Love Full of Deception and Desire
Lyrics
He's a giver, he'll give her the kind
He is generous, willing to provide a certain type
Of attention that she's never known
He will give her attention she has never experienced
He's a helper, he'll help her to open
He is supportive, helping her open doors she can't on her own
The doors that she can't on her own.
Metaphorically, aiding her in overcoming challenges
He's a lover and he'll love her in ways
He is affectionate, expressing love in new ways
That she's never been loved before
Loving her in ways she hasn't experienced before
He's a getter, he'll get her by gettin' her
He is assertive, pursuing her actively
Into the world she's been hungerin' for.
Getting her into a world she has longed for
He's a charmer, he'll charm her with money
He is charming, using money and manners to impress
And manners that I never learned
Contrasting with the speaker's lack of such skills
He's a leader, he'll lead her across
He is a leader, guiding her over bridges he plans to burn
Pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn.
Implies a reckless or destructive nature
He's a talker, he'll talk her right off of her feet
He is persuasive, talking impressively
But he won't talk for long
But his words may not last, as he is action-oriented
'Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her the way
He is proactive, intending to engage with her in a way
That I'd never, damned if he won't do her wrong.
That contrasts with the speaker, suggesting potential wrongdoing
He's a taker, he'll take her to places
He is a taker, suggesting a self-centered nature
And make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
Taking her to new heights, possibly exhilarating but with risks
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Suggests a patient approach before exploiting the situation
Takin' her easy and slow.
Being careful and deliberate in his actions
And after he's taken the body and soul
After receiving all she has to offer, he may take her for granted
She gives him he'll take her for granted
Indicating a lack of appreciation for her contributions
Take off and leave her taken all of her
Leaving abruptly, taking away everything she had
Pride when he goes.
Stripping her of pride when he departs
He's a taker, he'll take her to places
Reiteration of his self-centered nature as a taker
And make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
Repeated mention of taking her to new heights
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
Emphasizing a patient approach before exploiting the situation
Takin' her easy and slow
Reiterating the careful and deliberate nature of his actions
