Bjork`s song phrase translation help anyone?
    #5280765 - 02/09/06 06:03 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

ok, so there is one line that I dont quite understand, (I`m not naturally english speaking) or I am not sure how to understand it, let me give it in a context, from Bjorks song "5 years"


I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love,



Now, I want to understand what does it mean "to take me on" ? Is it like taking someone out, like for a date? Or taking someone, sexually? or what?

thanx for help!

I'm pretty sure it's more that she means it on the level of simply having a relationship with her - in this context she's implying that her strong/abrasive character can be too much for some people to handle/deal with.
