Bring Yourself Lyrics
I can see you're everything
Don't you know it's so hard to bring
Bring yourself to me
You know it's the world that you'd like
I can see you're everything
Don't you know it's so hard to bring
Bring yourself to me
You know it's the world left behind
I can see that the world, you know
Is the world that you like
I can see that the world, you know
is the world left behind
left behind
I can see you're everything
Don't you know it's so hard to bring
Bring yourself to me
You know it's the world that you'd like
I can see you're everything
Don't you know it's so hard to bring
Bring yourself to me
You know it's the world left behind
I can see that the world, you know
Is the world that you like
I can see that the world, you know
is the world left behind
Ride that horsey on in
I said we've been waiting for a long time here
We've tried to pick you up
And you've just tried to bring us down
So why don't you just keep it between the fire and the place?
What the hell?
So why don't you just ride that horsey on in
I said we've given you the strength to <i>bring yourself</i>
So why don't you stay a while?
Have some children
Raise a family
Is this what you want?
Is this what you came for?

I have an inkling that this tune is about a person trying to break free from a past life and it still won't let go of him. "Bring yourself to me, You know it's the world that you'd like" sounds to me that an old flame or an old addiction is beckoning. The line that cements the meaning is "I can see that the world you know is the one left behind". It may be too simple an analysis, but it was worth a shot. Nobody commented yet, I am the first.
OpinionHead, I think your take on it is very good. I would only add that it may not necessarily be the past life that won't let go of the person, but rather that the person won't let go of the past life. In other words, the world that said person left behind is the one they like(d), but obviously left behind. However, this person is still looking back and clinging to the former life even though everyone around him/her is giving their strength to bring him/herself into the present world. And you're right, it could be about an addiction of any sort, an old flame, heck an old job. And it all underscores the fact that if you want to make changes in your life, it has to be you that does it. Everyone around you can support, urge, help as much as possible, but the only one that can do it is you. Just my take - couldn't have done it without the previous comment though!
This song, as others on the GREEN amlbum give me a feel of "Earth" Green Feel/ Native American Vibe to it. In my humble opinion this song reminds me of giving into the "earth" and the "self". The "Truth" is already here (native americans), and we need not try to hard to come to it, but to "bring ourself" to "it". Bring it in "not unlike a basketball team" and come to show the TRUTH"!! Hell ya!! forever DOTN!!!!
