Be Yourself Lyrics
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
And be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
With every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
To be yourself is all that you can do
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
Be yourself is all that you can do
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
With every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of luck
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do

This song always picks me up when I've had a shitty day. To me, it means that there's no use in looking back and beating yourself up for things that have gone wrong in the past, "If only I'd done this differently, if only I were better, smarter, quicker, stronger..." But you're not. You're you, and that's all anyone can ask of you.
ok, after three years - wow. I've heard people say they don't like this song, but how can you NOT? I personally love this song. Maybe I'm just so excited to hear the guys again (I heard it this morning for the first time in study hall and actually got up, jumping, and dancing around, happy that the album will drop May/June, tentative date May 17th). I seriously love the song. Maybe that's just me - I like the mellow stuff like Getaway Car more than Hypnotize.
The message I think is obvious - no matter what you do, if you don't act how you want to and do what you want to, it'll backfire in one way or another, leaving you miserable. God, I adore Cornell's writing ability and Morello is a guitar GOD.
In my opinion, this is the best song by Audioslave. The message, as stated before, is that you are going to face easy and hard times in your life, and all you can do is be who you are through all of it.
I love the contrasts that this song uses, especially in the second stanza where he focuses on how people can have such different views of a flower. Despite the circumstances(whether it be the beginning of something great or the end of something great), all you can do is be yourself.
Pretty straightforward. I love the second verse.
Someone gets excited In the chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on the grave
O
Much better, thank you
Look to be spot on except for:
Every single memory of Could of been faces of love
Should be:
Every single memory of Could have been faces of love
I could be wrong though. I love this song.
This song was just released and is awesome. I'm not sure if all these lyrics are correct, I just listened and wrote what I heard. It may have a few errors. You can hear the song here: http://www.audioslave.com/news/
Lyrics look spot on save for one possible mistake. I make it out to be
Seperate or united Empty or insane
But I could easily be wrong
Man those are off. Heres some more accurate ones
