Take It Back Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DaveBruteBrown 

Cover art for Take It Back lyrics by Pink Floyd

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.

My Interpretation

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.
