Steam Will Rise Lyrics

Contain yourself
I will compress
What I am to
Replace yourself
With what you have
Your substitute
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise

Refrain, confess
Contain, repress
Pretend I'm dead
Abuse myself
Confuse myself
I won't be led

Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise

this song used to freak me out when i was alone or it was night. i think it was the back up "oos" and that sort of trill noise at "only wanted a piece of myself" lol. But this song is good. Really think its just about getting over everything and looking back and telling oneself that things wil eventually get better. I think this fits well as the last song too. Everything else that he wrote about is kind of summed up here and hes saying that his esteem will eventually rise.

my god no1 has commented on this song. it is my favourite song ever, i love it. i think the backing vocals are beautiful (esp. at the end when they become louder).

i think this song is about pyschiatry- 'refrain, confess/ cntain, repress'- it's typical pyschiatrist language.

I think it's much about self consciousness. Only wanted a piece of myself...esteem will rise.

wow. no one has commented since like two months ago? i thought this song was really fantastic- maybe like trying to find yourself and a kind of self esteem? i don't know, just felt like saying something about it. i thought the drum fill-ins were fantastic, totally rocked- gives me the feeling like your heart's about to burst. i absolutely could not hear the dog in the track AT ALL. i was practically straining my ears to hear that. but, yea. it's a good song. all i really wanted to comment on was the drum fill-ins. WHOO-HOO.
