Cover art for First It Giveth lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

Brazilian, it's an archaic version that was often used in the King James Version of the Bible.

Homme is referring to Job chapter 1, verse 21:

[Job] said, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."

The verse is about submission. So is this song. Probably submission to a drug addiction.

My Interpretation

Azkm, thank you very much!

I'm going to see these guys live at SWu festival here in Brazil, october 11, along with Incubus and Pixies at the same night. Wish me luck and fun!

peace out, buddy.
