Story Behind the Song
"Take me down" was written during a recording session. One of those times when you open your mouth and it just comes out. Probably because it came at a very improvisational period in life. Cynicism is thematic here.
Lyrics
Well, I gotta tell you, baby, I've been a wreck here without you Its been a long, hard couple of tears but I think I've made it through Well, I'm riding out this spell I'm in of love, hate, love, hate, you I've gotta pack my heart back in and tell it to be cool Yeah, it's been a long, hard couple of tears and noone to cry to Its been a string of endless spears to pierce me through and through Well, I just came to thank you, baby, for the things I learned from you That God don't hide the angels and the devil's really blue That you can unlock this wooden heart, that it can be made to bleed That you can kiss this lowly frog and see what it may bring That life is taken for what its worth, that laughter's just a scream And, love's a concept you'll never grasp, that you never could with me The way you take me down, baby. Well, I just came to say it, baby, you know I laid the blame on you But, God don't hate the heathen and the devil's lying too Well, I cannot hold this open wound exposed before the world I've gotta pack my heart back in and tell it to be cool Its been a long, hard couple of tears and noone to cry to Its been a long, cold couple of years, yeah, baby, thanks to you The way you take me down baby, yeah, I like the way you take me down.
