Take It Back is a song from Pink Floyd's 1994 album, The Division Bell. While most apparently a love song, it can also be interpreted to be about Mother Nature, and how man abuses the Earth. Some comparisons have been drawn between the song and U2's Where the Streets Have No Name for its similar song structure and guitar riff, though these claims have not been acknowledged by either band, and the effect The Edge uses in U2's song is taken from Pink Floyd's Run Like Hell.
