DP - The Take Down

Ein einziger Moment kann alles auf den Kopf stellen. „THE TAKE DOWN“ ist der Zusammenprall von Verstand und Gefühl: der Versuch, die Kontrolle zu behalten, während längst etwas in Bewegung geraten ist, das sich nicht mehr aufhalten lässt. Worum es in dem Track geht: Zwei gegensätzliche Stimmen ringen mit derselben Erkenntnis. Die eine analysiert, relativiert und baut Schutzmauern auf. Die andere spürt längst, wie die Gefühle jede Abwehr durchbrechen. Aus Neugier wird Überforderung, aus Widerstand schließlich die Einsicht: Es ist Liebe. Die Mauern fallen nicht durch Gewalt, sondern weil jemand einfach zeigt, wer er ist. Hinweis: Dieser Track ist in Zusammenarbeit mit (A)vali (I)ntelligenz entstanden.

I smiled and nodded, played it cool, But nothing felt the way it'd been. First it was curiosity, A spark I thought would fade away. Then suddenly my pulse went wild, And nothing worked the usual way. I had it all under control! Then why am I losing my breath? It's just a moment, nothing more! Then why's it hitting me like this? TAKE DOWN! No warning, no surrender, One spark and I'm losing control. TAKE DOWN! My defenses shatter, Can't stop the rush, can't stop the fall. I try to fight, I try to hide, But it's already burning inside. TAKE DOWN! I thought I'd figured it out – Now all my walls are coming down! Down! Down! Can't shut it down! THE TAKE DOWN! I throw myself into the noise, But every thought comes back to you. What yesterday was just a spark Burns through whatever I try to do. I call it chance, I call it stress, I swear it's just a passing phase. But every excuse falls apart The moment someone says your name. Breathe in, slow down, just get a grip! My heart is pounding out of time! I hit the brakes with all I've got! Too late! The last line's giving way! TAKE DOWN! No warning, no surrender, One spark and I'm losing control. TAKE DOWN! My defenses shatter, Can't stop the rush, can't stop the fall. I try to fight, I try to hide, But it's already burning inside. TAKE DOWN! I thought I'd figured it out – Now all my walls are coming down! I built these walls to keep me safe From all the damage done before. A voice inside me warns, "Don't fall – Don't let them hurt you anymore." You never tried to break them down, You only showed me who you are. I stood there acting like I'm fine, While every nerve set off alarms. This can't be happening to me! I feel it stronger every day! I thought it'd pass and disappear! It's only getting louder here! No plan. No shield. Damn it – I'm in love! TAKE DOWN! No warning, no surrender, One spark and I'm losing control. TAKE DOWN! My defenses shatter, Can't stop the rush, can't stop the fall. I won't deny what's deep inside, Don't need another place to hide. TAKE DOWN! I thought I'd figured it out – Now all my walls are coming down! No shield left! No turning back! I won't fight the feeling anymore! THE TAKE DOWN!
