Lyrics:

(We Are) Taking Over

i want it all but you WON’T
hear me
or catch my fall
i started pure then you
deceived me
now i own you
back off i’ve claimed the rule

TAKING OVER…

[NathanJN]

This is a great song. I've always liked harder and intense songs and this one fits the bill!

It also stands in stark contrast to the opening song on the album (Sugar Rush).

(And so we come to an end of Robot Rock)!

I love the squealing synths on this song! They're huge, and they just scream and roar!

I hated this song at first. And then I loved it. Now, now I am indifferent. I'm sort of that way with most of RR, only a few tracks like I'm Your Boy and Joy Electric Land really hold a special place in my heart.

i love this song, then i hated it. then one day i loved it again. but then i thought "no, i hate this song" and i was right and so i hated it again, but with extra hate this time to keep the love off it.

lordy, i'm a mess.




i don't think this song really cares what i think. the dynamically constant synths kinda feel like someone turned a big appliance on and walked out of the room, like someone parked their tank* in your speakers and left the engine running. "oh? did i leave this thing on? gee i'm sorry, it must've taken over."

*i do not mean a fishtank

The absolute ending is the best, no doubt.

I bought this album for this song. It was my favorite for a while, then I got bored of it and completely forgot about it. I have somewhat lost touch with JE in recent times. I tried listening the other day, but my mind wasn't compatible for some odd reason. Anyhow, I love the super hard synths, and then the little blippy noises in the end make it feel really full and diverse, even though it was a simple little trick.

I loved this song at first. Then I loved it more, now I'm sorta on the fence. I actually feel this way with most of RR. I guess you could say I'm a berry patch / strawberry heart kinda guy


I always pictured aliens coming in and taking over though. Lots of black and purple colors sway through my psuedo synthesia senses
