Take It Back Lyrics
I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea
I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire
Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep
And I make her prove her love for me, I take all that I can take
And I push her to the limit to see if she will break
It's easy to ignore them and God knows I've tried
All of this temptation, it turned my faith to lies
Until I couldn't see the danger or hear the rising tide
everthing is a love song with you people
Yes, most are caught up in the flesh.
Yes, most are caught up in the flesh.
If you listen to the words it is obvious that it is about mother nature and the eventual demise of the human race by our own ignorance. We think that we are somehow more powerful than the earth and that we ultimately determine it's destiny. When in reality she can take it back at any time and we will be the only cost.
@SubOne Thank you so much for this, I have. beat my head against the wall trying to figure out. the obvious here. I just didn't get it.. Maybe I've beat my head against all too many times.!

Like a selfish lover abusing the faith and trust of a partner, we (humans) abuse the planet and its ecosystem, squeezing it for all we can. This abuse is not totally blind: a large portion of us know there will be a breaking point - that our partner will turn on us and "take back" what we have removed for our own temporary gain.
Amazing interpretation! Right on the point! It is about our dysfunctional and abusive relationship with Nature, but above all, it is about the abusive nature of mankind. By the way, when a human abuse another human, that is an abuse to Nature because humans are part of Nature.

DId anyone else notice that like half way through the song "Ring a ring of rosies" is sung (really quietly, listen out for it).
Yeah, I noticed it too.

It is about our dysfunctional and abusive relationship with Mother Nature as many said before.
Like mother nature and how we fuck her up but she still keeps us alive. "i push her to the limit to see if she will break" which is exactly what we do.
Honestly, I've never been able to understand how this song relates at all to mother nature. It seems to me like he exchanged some toxic words with his wife/girlfriend/whatever and hopes he can restore the relationship.

This song proves how good Pink Floyd is with their music. I love it when Gilmour sings
"Her love rains on me easy as the breeze" "I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea" "I was thinkin' all about her, burning with rage and desire"
The way he sings it is just so beautiful.
some nonsense lyrics, not the best of the pink floyd as well, but still the song of my life... the rythm is perfec and i guess anyone can see the road along the way, the feel of the breeze close to the sea, the incredible feeling of freedom. along with u2´s "when the streets have no name", this is the best song i´ve ever heard!
its about the things we do to hurt another one. concient or inconciently. and, of course, about regrets!wonderfull song!
this is to me a love song, your partner beside you, you notincing all these things then, you do all these things you shouldnt just to see if they really do love you, and the warnings to stay away but you just cant do it
