Eat Yourself Lyrics

If you don't eat yourself
No doubt the pain instead
You could longer life
Seen it on that stone
You went south on the train
She wore plastic boots for rain
And you crawl along exhausted
No sense and no reason

Who will I be when I'm with you again
Silver jet in the sky
You were the pain
Got a song, got to sing
For life

If you don't eat yourself
No doubt the pain instead
If you don't eat yourself
You will explode instead

Should I look and love you so
When I know you don't love me
You the one who laughs alone
You get wicked and you moan

Who will I be when I'm with you again
Silver jet in the sky
You are the pain
Got a song, got to sing
For life

i think the song lyrics go along these lines:

If you’d only cut So no doubt the blade is deep You could long your life Seated on that floor You went south on the train She wore plastic boots for rain And you crawl along the floor in your dream dear, caught lonely

Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life

If you’d only cut So no doubt the blade is deep If you don't eat yourself You will explode instead

Cause i know i love you so When I know you don't love me you were the last alone Get wicked, did it come

Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life

i love this song, lots!!!!

I love how the start of it has an old crackly sound too.

For the meaning of the song i thought it might be about a person with an eating disorder, if you look at the lyrics closely 'You are the pain', ' you crawl along exhausted' and 'if you eat yourself you will explode instead'.

It is almost like the person is singing to their eating disorder 'ana'. from the lyrics 'how can i love you so when i know you dont love me.'

I dont know, it just an idea. But these...

Definitely my favourite on the Seventh Tree album. The more one listens to it, the more one gets to like it. Wonderful!

Heartbreaking. Sounds like she's singing about somebody who's lead her on and she's finally realizing it and acknwledging the pain. So sad :( For me thats what it means!

It’s about pulling the hook out yourself. It will be painful letting go, as painful as going along, dragged around by unrequitted love. Of the other person, saying it all wickedly, knowing you don’t love me. Sung in third person, but more as the mind’s inner monologue. What a voice, the atmosphere of this song is haunting. Like love.

[Edit: Typos and more meaning]

If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead You could longer life Seen it on that land You went south on the train She wore plastic boots for rain And you crawl along exhausted No sense do you like this Crawling

Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life

If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead If you don't eat yourself You will explode instead

Cause I love love you so When I know you don't love me You who laughs alone Get wicked, did it come

Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life
