“Take What You Want” is a song in which the artists are addressing particular romantic interests who are depicted as being callous towards their feelings. It is therefore safe to say that the lyrics are directed towards lovers who have apparently done them wrong. Malone comes off as being really caught up in a toxic relationship. He had fallen for someone who is not only untruthful but also “preyed on every mistake”. By this he is insinuating that she was consistently verbally abusive towards him. Indeed she is portrayed as one of those types who would rather see her lover fail than succeed. And she conducted herself accordingly. This romance has been so detrimental to Posty’s development that he describes himself as “wasting away”, as in slowly dying. This expression would likely point more to his emotional disposition than a physical state. Putting it simply, this lady has a habit of weakening his morale and self-esteem. And whereas he is now ‘trying to find his way out’ of the situation, it is clear that, at least for the moment, this is something which Malone is compelled to endure. That is to say that this romantic experience reads like a classic case of someone who is deeply in love with an abusive partner. Meanwhile the woman Travis Scott describes has similar attributes due to her tendency to ‘throw stones’, as in launch criticisms, at him. But he handled the situation a bit differently, insinuating that he took her negativity and instead transformed it into something positive. But his main gripe against this lady appears to be her overly-promiscuous ways. The way Scott’s words read, particularly in his pre-chorus, it is as if he is trying to say that a few of his buddies slept with this woman also. But in all honesty he doesn’t appear as if he was overly-committed to her sensually either. Meanwhile the chorus itself, which is held down by Ozzy Osbourne, paints the artists more or less as victims of the wiles of the aforementioned ladies. Indeed the titular expression, “take what you want”, alludes to their perceived powerlessness under the given circumstances. And it is also meant to be a sarcastic sentiment. The vocalists are basically letting these women know that they are well aware of the abuse they suffer at their hands. Yet the general insinuation is that their feelings for these individuals are too strong for them to simply walk away. Or put another way, this song is based on the artists being emotionally-attached to romantic partners who abuse their trust and affections.

The lyrics talk about Eilish's relationship with her brother Finneas, as well as a nightmare that the singer had. The nightmare involved Billie "stepping off the Golden Gate and finding out that people didn’t like her as much as they let on" The singer also said, "We started writing it because I literally had a dream that I killed myself and nobody cared and all of my best friends and people that I worked with basically came out in public and said, like, 'Oh, we never liked her.' In the dream, the fans didn’t care. The internet shit on me for killing myself, all this stuff, and it really did mess me up.

I love this song!! Lil Nas X is an amazing and upcoming singer and I think he will go far in life if he keeps making music like this. I thoroughly enjoy his music! His songs have catchy beats, nice lyrics, and he has an amazing voice! This is my favorite song by Lil Nas X!

To me it means that they don't have a very god relationship, but they still really like each other. They say they wanna leave but they can't stay mad at each other. They are constantly fighting, but they have good times in between as well. They really love each other but don't have a good realtionship.
