You Fucked Yourself Lyrics
And you don't know where to go
Split wide open like a sturgeon for the row
Blood was splashed on pure white snow
And youre looking for the go
Drown in your sink
Condemned if you float
You placed the blame but missed the boat
You chose your fate
You changed your mind
When it's too late
Your self-deceit, your worst mistake
Wow. Quasi kicks ass.
always fucking loved this song.
i think it's "looking for the GOAT" and "drown IF you sink". I guess I could be wrong I haven't listened in awhile.
Anyway Sam seems pretty bitter about a choice someone has made...
Full corrected lyrics:
You fucked yourself And you don't know where to go Split wide open like a sturgeon for the roe Blood red splashed on pure white snow
You fucked yourself And you're looking for the goat Drown if you sink Condemned if you float You placed the blame but missed the boat
You fucked yourself You chose your fate You changed your mind When it's too late Self-deceit's your worst mistake
-- Roe are fish eggs, like caviar. This is one of my all-time favorite albums; this song is just one of the many reasons why.
I'm not sure what the whole song together means exactly, but the part:
Drown if you sink Condemned if you float
is a reference to the way it was decided if someone was a 'witch' way back when. They'd throw some poor person into a lake or a river and if they floated they were a witch, and thus be condemned to death, and if they sank they were innocent, but they'd generally end up dying anyway. So they're saying again that whatever the person does at this point will end badly anyway.
