Lyrics for Song: You Take My Breath Away
Lyrics for Album: Deep Cuts (Extended) [2004]
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy, I don't like the straight way
We're in the middle of something, we're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the color red
I'm in the first row on your show
In the first row on the First Floor Power show
Your vibrato's like vulnerable leaves
You do it crazy, that's how you talk to me
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy, I don't like the straight way
We're in the middle of something, we're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the color red
I heard you for the first time on the radio
When I was going somewhere in a car
You touched my heart like a knife that's very sharp
Or like a bird you just set free
That's just like me when I hear you speak
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy, I don't like the straight way
We're in the middle of something, we're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the color red
I like vanilla and I like sex
I ride the pony that I like best
I knew I knew that there was something I missed
I was fifteen when I first got kissed
Before I knew about the equality way
I wanted to get laid to "Take My Breath Away"
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy, I don't like the straight way
We're in the middle of something, we're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the color red
We are the people who's come here to play
I don't like it easy, I don't like the straight way
We're in the middle of something, we're here to stay
And we raise our heads for the color red

You Take My Breath Away
You Take My Breath Away stands as a compelling song in The Knife's early discography, appearing on the 2004 compilation Deep Cuts (Extended). The track exemplifies the Swedish electronic duo's signature blend of experimental pop and art rock, characterized by their distinct vocal interplay and atmospheric production. During this period, Karin and Olof Dreijer were refining the idiosyncratic sound that would later define their breakthrough work. The song captures the band's ability to merge danceable rhythms with an unsettling, introspective edge. As part of their growing catalogue, it highlights the creative momentum leading into their subsequent albums, showcasing a style that balances synthetic textures with raw emotional resonance. This recording remains a testament to their innovative approach to electronic music and their enduring influence on the genre. |
