Give Me Some Love Lyrics
Me and my guitar play my way
It makes them frown
But little pieces by the highway bring me down.
Mine is not a heart of stone
I am only skin and bone
And those little pieces are little pieces of my own
Why don't you give me some love?
I've taken ship loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Many faces at the doorway all hang round
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound
So I'm standing all alone and I'm only skin and bone
So many faces but they just look out for their own
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken ship loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shit loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
who's better than yourself today
Some day soon they'll drop the bomb and let it all out. Someday
Some day soon we'll all be gone so, let it all out
Just let it all out today
And give me some love
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.
It makes them frown
But little pieces by the highway bring me down.
Mine is not a heart of stone
I am only skin and bone
And those little pieces are little pieces of my own
I've taken ship loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound
So I'm standing all alone and I'm only skin and bone
So many faces but they just look out for their own
I've taken ship loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
I've taken shit loads of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
who's better than yourself today
Some day soon we'll all be gone so, let it all out
Just let it all out today
Yeah, give me some love,
Come on, give me some love today.

No, I agree with the depression hypothesis. If he was referring to drugs of abuse he would have used something other than Valium. Think of a confused and lonely teenager (adults go through it too, but it's easier to visualize an adolescent) who wants to be understood and loved for who he/she is, but all anyone else cares about is their own comfort level. "Take some Valium" they say, "we like you better when you're on psychotropics because you're a different person, better." But they don't understand, nor do they care, that the drugs don't stop the pain.
Heaven forbid the "drop the bomb" reference be predicting another campus/workplace shooting. That seems a little violent for Blunt's imagination, but who knows.
I think this song is both about addiction and depression as they can often go hand in hand.

I'm only 21, but I've 'battled' depression since I was 12 years old. Is it a coincidence that since I was 16 years old I've stuffed as much and as many drugs as I could into my body? I think not.

This song is basically depression and drug 'addiction' in song form. No matter how many drugs I do, no matter how good I feel in that moment, it never lasts and the pain always comes back. I see myself from many different viewpoints all...
This song is basically depression and drug 'addiction' in song form. No matter how many drugs I do, no matter how good I feel in that moment, it never lasts and the pain always comes back. I see myself from many different viewpoints all at the same time. All different facets of myself and each whispering different things into my ears but none of them really say anything, they really just watch what happens. The drugs call to me, telling me that they'll make me better, they'll make me someone I want to be and when they hit, I'll really, truly be someone better, someone I can stand.
When he says, "Someday, soon, they'll drop the bomb and let it all out" I think he is referring to the fact that, eventually, the faces do let it all out and you realize what a truly terrible person you are. They drop the bomb on you.
At that point, you either give up on the life you've led, the things you've done and turn to something meaningful to help: love.
Just my 2cents.
It's about doing things your own way so you're never accepted by everyone else. It's about having people sit around watching you struggle with your addictions, your heartaches and your problems, but no one ever puts out a hand or says a word that might help. So then, maybe you turn to a drug for assistance because it can make you someone you're not, possibly someone everybody else will prefer. Yet through it all, you're still screaming out for love from someone who will just take you as you are.
Hmm. I actually think this song is about Depression.
"Why don't you give me some love? I've taken ship loads of drugs I'm so tired of never fixing the pain"
The give me some love bit is about people cutting you a bit of slack, not putting preassure on you all the time. The drugs dont neccessarily have to be illegal or whatever, they could be prescribed anti-depressents, which then is shown in the next line about its only valium (relaxing drug) which 'helps'
The first verse about his own way is often a sign of depression aswell, believing you're different to all the others. The second verse about lonliness is obviously a sign towards it aswell.
All these things add up rather well, which is why i think it's about depression.
this exactly wat i need to say to the girl i like
this is an amazing song
love this song!!!
best song in the album i reckon!
give her just some love!
This song is hot. Give me some love reminds me of something very naughty, and the shitload of drugs part comes of as sexy to me. It's like give me some love already! DAMN!
Yeah, I'm sick.
Oh...... Um..... Ya.......
Oh...... Um..... Ya.......
I think this song is obviously about drug addictions, and how alone and isolated you can feel.
"Many faces at the doorway all hang round Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound So I'm standing all alone and I'm only skin and bone So many faces but they just look out for their own"
and about how people take drugs to escape, mask their feelings, not have to deal with them, feel better about everything ect.
"Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously And we'll come back as someone else".
amazing song. reallly
