Take Me As I Am

Stacey Wood

Nothing brings me down anymore

Nothing makes me cry anymore

Your power over me is out the door

Life's journey is all I want to explore



CHORUS:



I'm no supermodel, I don't care

You can find that anywhere

I'm real, I'm true, I'm me, I know it's strange

I've got more than tonnes to say

I love being this way!

So love me, leave me, or take me as I am!



Silly how we all want mass perfection

Giving into the media's perception

What I want is an end to the dissection

Image is a total misconception



Chorus



This is what I am.....this is what I'll be

There's nothing that can take that away from me

This is who I am! This is who I am!

I'm proud of being me!


Chorus



I'm no supermodel, I don't care

You can find that anywhere

I'm real, I'm true, I'm me, I know it's strange

'Cuz everybody's stuck on physicalities

What happened to people with real personalities

I've got more than tonnes to say

I love being this way!

So love me, leave me, or take me as I am!



I'm no supermodel!

I'm no American Idol!

I'm not girlfriend material!

I don't care!

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
