Taste
Great Gable Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I slow on the chase,
Ease off the breaks,
It's easy for me,
To feel lost at sea,
Tasting the dream,
Or chasing the green,
My body it aches,
As I lie awake
As I lie awake
As I lie awake

Face on the floor,
I'm breaking my bones,
Chasing your soul,
Through sticks and stones,
Hating your taste, of toxic waste
Knowing you're safe,
Is all that I'm for
It's all that I'm for
It's all that I'm for

So tell me it straight,
A hit of the face,
I can't help but change,
My unfaithful state,
Chasing the dream,
Or chasing the green,
My body it aches,
As I lie awake
As I lie awake
As I lie awake

Face on the floor,
I'm breaking my bones,
Chasing your soul,
Through sticks and stones,
Hating your taste, of toxic waste
Knowing you're safe,
Is all that I'm for
It's all that I'm for
It's all that I'm for

SOLO

Face on the floor,
I'm breaking my bones,
Chasing your soul,
Through sticks and stones,
Hating your taste, of toxic waste
Knowing you're safe,
Is all that I'm for
It's all that I'm for
It's all that I'm forFace on the floor,
I'm breaking my bones,
Chasing your soul,
Through sticks and stones,
Hating your taste, of toxic waste
Knowing you're safe,
Is all that I'm for




It's all that I'm for
It's all that I'm for

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Taste” by Great Gable use metaphors to express the feeling of being lost, chasing dreams and wanting someone who may not be good for you. The first verse discusses the struggle of balancing ambition and contentment. The singer slows down, but still feels lost at sea while chasing their dreams or chasing money (“chasing the green”). This pursuit results in physical pain (“my body it aches”) and insomnia (“as I lie awake”). The second verse brings in the metaphor of chasing after someone, represented by chasing a soul through “sticks and stones”. The person they are chasing is described as having a “toxic waste” taste that they hate but can’t help wanting. The chorus repeats the theme of wanting this person to be safe, even though they may not be good for the singer.


The lyrics of “Taste” paint a portrait of someone who is willing to sacrifice their well-being to achieve their dreams, even if it means going after someone who is not healthy for them. This idea of chasing after a dream or a person who might not be good for you is a common theme in literature and music. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery that creates a feeling of restlessness and unease when the singer is pursuing their goals. Overall, the song expresses the universal feeling of wanting something that is just beyond reach and the emotional toll it can take.
