Give It Up
SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You get in my way
I cant do nothing
Nothing's right
You'll keep on pushing up in my face
I'm gonna leave you face down in the dirt
First you say it
One more time ill break you down
You came out of nowhere
You only got yourself to blame
I gave all the warnings
There's nothing left to offer
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
I cannot take it
You bothering me
Whats your problem
Just get lost
Insist on crying
Your gonna get hurt
One more word and I'm bursting to break your bones
First you say it
Don't think you get it
One more time ill break you down
You came out of nowhere
You only got yourself to blame
I gave all the warnings
There's nothing left to offer
You came out of nowhere
You only got yourself to blame
I gave all the warnings
There's nothing left to offer
I'm bleeding from my ears again
Listen to this shit I hear
Bleeding from the ears again
Listen to this shit I hear
Bleeding from the ears again
Bleeding from the ears!
You came out of nowhere
You only got yourself to blame
I gave all the warnings
There's nothing left to offer
No cant we all deserve
No cant we all have earned
I gave all the warnings
There's nothing left to offer
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
The lyrics of SOiL's song Give It Up seem to be about a person who is bothering the singer and getting into their personal space. The individual is pushing their buttons and making it difficult for the singer to accomplish anything or feel at peace. The lyrics suggest that the singer has given the other person multiple chances to back off and leave them alone, but the person persists in their behavior, insisting on arguing or crying. The lyrics convey the message that the singer has reached their limit and will resort to violence if the person does not give up and leave them alone.
The song might be an expression of feelings of frustration, anger, and sadness. The lyrics suggest that the singer has tried to handle the situation calmly and respectfully, but the other person refuses to listen and tries to put the blame back on the singer. The singer might be feeling helpless and overwhelmed by the other person's actions, which seem to be causing them physical and emotional pain. By asking the other person to give it up, the singer is trying to resolve the situation and find some peace.
In terms of musical style, the song is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, aggressive drumming, and intense vocals. The use of repetition, such as in the chorus, reinforces the song's message and creates a sense of urgency. The use of metaphors, such as bleeding from the ears, adds to the song's intensity.

@MetaIingus
Personally I love AJ in the band. I think he fits in perfectly. I've never seen the band with Ryan, but seeing SOiL for the 6th time, I'm not disappointed at all, I love the stage appearence and I think AJ adds perfectly to the rest of the guys.
@SoiLX
I just think AJ is awesome, not many singers have such a great balance of singing and screaming. Some bands can be good but too extreme, he's got a great balance. Ryan is my favourite singer but I am pleased that AJ has joined Soil cuz he's deffinetly got talent. My only sorrow is never being able to see Soil Halo live with Ryan :-D
@daalskov
Soil makes some great music, and he got a great voice
@madmaxxmayhem
one of the best bands of this decade period!
@SoiLX
Soil have a new singer because their first singer left the band to be with his family in 2004. A year later, after being convinced by his wife to return back to music, Soil already had a new singer - AJ Cavalier, signed in 2004. So in 2005 Ryan Mccombs (Old Soil Singer) joined Drowning Pool. And they all lived happily ever after cuz Ryan is the best. ;)
@Aleaper
i think the new singer is awesome. Soil changes and new stuff comes to the band. Theyre just as great as they were before! regards from a real soil fan!
@GuttzeTuffen
Soil is fucking awesome! I've listened to them in years now, and yeah, like "bob8675309666" said "feel like your invencible. the music runs through our veins like a cancerus poision feeding our souls till it wants more. " Couldn't have said it better
@jdmonly87

@mxtim
definetly a fan of ryan mccombs (old singer) but i saw these guys live just this year, with Aj Cavalier (new singer), and i gotta say, no drop off whatsoever, they fuckin rock! btw, ryan left because of differences with the band, hes now the lead singer for drowning pool, who ill be going to see live in about a month, so ill let you know, lol.
@travisbarker1982
Soil makes good music, but Noah Shulman is one of my heroes... He makes a DVX100 scream!
