A song about self-possession, resistance and the point where closeness must not become takeover.
Lyrics
You don’t take over me You won’t take over me again
You don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no You don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no
You’ve used me far too often for something I don’t even like Maybe good for you but not for me and not for us two I thought it had to be that way. I thought it would enable me To get to be a better man, mostly for me
You don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no You don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no
And then, in the hard times, you abandoned me When my feelings had left me and all my friends too Then you were no longer there. The only thing I knew for sure: I’m not the man you made me think I had to be
And now this opportunity to become one again as we are I am not ready to lose myself to you again
But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no
You don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no You don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t, don’t take over me You won’t, won’t take over me again. Oh no But you don’t
Together, Power Station Love and Ego open a new double perspective in the work of Andersen Storm: connection and resistance, attraction and selfhood, permeability and boundary.
