Give to me
Four Way Free Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a ride inside my soul - it's heavenly
See I've never been the kind to grab a hold of what I want
Usually I toe the line and let your dance floor bump
But tonight it's feeling easy there's something different in the air
Something different, so get up out of your chair
You can keep your t-shirt on, honey I don't mind
'cuz we've probably all been digging just a little bit too deep
And we dance on edges, working ledges much too steep
I don't aim to fall for nothing, I don't mean to stare but I stare
Oh yeah, so get up out of your chair
CHORUS
Hold on, baby please, you know this ride is gonna make it better
So long make believe, now the world is fine fine fine
Go on, give to me what I seek, if I am forever vilified, that's alright
Just give to me
I can see the hands go up
I can feel the pain come down down down
What I want is something sleazy, what I want is something pure
What I want is poison chasing down the cure
What I need is absolution when I choose to make a mistake
What I want is simply just to take it
CHORUS
After a while you'll tell me that it's not just where you are
But who's around you now
And I don't invite the sublime to watch it wear out
Get up, get up out of your chair
CHORUS
The song "Give To Me" by Four Way Free is a reflection on the desire for connection and authenticity in a world where it can be difficult to find. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been holding back and following the expectations of others, but now feels a sense of liberation and possibility. The repeated refrain to "get up out of your chair" is a call to action, urging the listener to break free from their own fears and inhibitions and take a leap into the unknown.
The first verse suggests a spiritual dimension to the singer's journey, with the invitation to "take a ride inside my soul - it's heavenly." The second verse blends the sensual and the existential, with the contrast between "something sleazy" and "something pure," and the desire for both poison and absolution. The final lines of the song suggest a resolve to live in the present moment and embrace whatever comes, rather than waiting for some ideal future or perfect circumstances.
Overall, "Give To Me" is a passionate and uplifting rock anthem that celebrates the human desire for connection and authenticity. The lyrics are open-ended enough to allow for a variety of interpretations, but the central message of the song seems to be that we should take risks and follow our hearts in pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.
