Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Break, if you like the sound
If it gets you up
If it brings you down
Share, if it makes you sleep
If it sets you free
If it helps to breath
Don't come over here
Piss on my gate
Save it just keep it off my wave
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Pray, if you want to pray
If you like to kneel
If you like to lay
Don't come over here
Piss on my gate
Save it just keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
(My wave)
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Don't come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
(My wave)
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
(Keep it off my wave)
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Break, if you like the sound
If it gets you up
If it brings you down
Share, if it makes you sleep
If it sets you free
If it helps to breath
Don't come over here
Piss on my gate
Save it just keep it off my wave
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Pray, if you want to pray
If you like to kneel
If you like to lay
Don't come over here
Piss on my gate
Save it just keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
(My wave)
Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes
Hate, if you want to hate
If it keeps you safe
If it makes you brave
Take, if you want a slice
If you want a piece
If it feels alright
Don't come over here
And piss on my gate
Save it just keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
(My wave)
Keep it off my wave
Keep it off my wave, my wave
(Keep it off my wave)

This song describes how I feel and i love that part when its say "hate, if you wanna hate,if it makes you safe, if it makes you brave." sure you can hate me but i dont care, just leave me the hell alone. people can hide behind how coward they are and waste thier time trying to make your life a living hell. we live in a selfish world these days, you would think people are ocupied with thinking about themselfs listening to thier own voice that they even have time in thier"busy" schedule to judge you. this is my song because it tells all of you who want to try to rain on my parade, fuck off because ive got who i am and you'll never ruin that. "keep it off my wave"
Pretty much just "Do whatever the fuck you want as long as it doesn't effect me"
its like saying "I got no problem with what you do as long as you do it away from me"
I could not have put it better myself. At all.
All the lines of the verses simply reinforce the first word: Take Break Share BUT only if you want to.
Take (what?) Break (I've taken it, now break...) Share (share your experiences about it, or misery loves company (encourage others to "take it")).
So you've done that, but don't bring your shit over to me. I'm enjoying my version of this scenario (just bear with me).
Cry Hate Pray
Cry: what have you done? Hate: you hate what you've done. Pray: only God can save you now..
So you've done that, but don't bring your shit over to me. I'm enjoying my version of this scenario (just bear with me).
Cry Hate Take
Cry: still crying Haye: still Hating Take: stealing to support your habit
So you've done that, but don't bring your shit over to me. I'm enjoying heroin, because I can afford it, if you can't, piss off.
Perfect way to describe me when I'm in a mood for no one to go stepping on my shoes and just leave me alone. Great Soundgarden song, but all of their songs are awesome, so, was it that unexpected?
This has to be one of the strongest songs ever! It rocks! Its actually about smoking crack.
Its funny how for every single song there allways has to be one person who says "This song is about drugs-" somtimes they might be right, but usually not- might be a bit of one track mind syndrome
Oh yeah,and Pea,explain how it is about smoking crack?
Yes, this song must be about the "do what you want and leave me alone" thing.
The only way I could see it being about smoking crack would be if the wave is his high,and he's saying "Do whatever the fuck you want but don't blow my buzz".
I'm with the "do whatever you want as long as it doesn't effect me" vibe ... but I think the song's less apathetic than that. I think it's about seeing the behaviors and actions of all different kinds of people, their motives for what they do and how they live, and seeing through all of it while not being effected by it, yourself.
