Songs I Like- What You Are (Audioslave)

guilty party: Ashraf on 11/14/2008


Lyrics

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.

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'd give you up forever.
And here i go far away,
I know you,
You'll find another slave.

Now I'm free
From what you want.
Now I'm free
From what you need.
Now I'm free
From what you are.

Then a vision came to me
When you came along.
I gave you everything but then
You wanted more.

Now I'm free
From what you want.
Now I'm free
From what you need.
Now I'm free
From what you are.

Now that I'm free
From what you want.
Now that I'm free
From what you need.
Now that I'm free
From what you are.

Actually I think it's a pretty uplifting song. Sure the lyrics in the verse are dark but (I think) thats just to personify all the crap "this girl" put him through and how the guy persevered & put up with it because he loved her. And as when he's "had his fill of her" he goes far away to liberate himself from her. That would count as a semi-happy ending at least. What's you take?
