“What You Are” — Audioslave
And when you wanted me
I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for light
I set myself on fire
And if I go far away I know
You’ll find another slave
[Chorus]
Cause now I’m free from what you want
Now I’m free from what you need
Now I’m free from what you are
And when you wanted blood
I cut my veins
And when you wanted love
I bled myself again
Now that I’ve had my fill of you
I’ll give you up forever
I know you’ll find another slave
[Chorus]
Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more
[Chorus]
*nods enthusiastically*
I don’t even know if we’re talking about the same person.
It likely doesn’t matter really, it applies to “everyman” just as well, or for that matter “everyperson.”
or even everypodperson? Heh.
Yes, even every podperson – and monkey too.
Monkey!
Really sad and touching song. I have never heard it…but I like the words.
