Live, Seaweed were a full-on rock experience, a bouncing, bounding post-hardcore rock outfit who combined double fast melodic punk with crunching guitars.
Go your own Way
Seaweed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I, ever change things that I feel
If I could, maybe I'd give you my world
How can I, when you won't take it from me
You can go your own way,
Go your own way
You can go your own way,
Go your own way
Tell me why,
Everything turned around
Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could, baby I'd give you my world
Open up, everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way,
Go your own way
You can call it, another lonely day
(another lonely day)
You can go your own way,
Go your own way
You can go your own way,
Go your own way
You can call it, another lonely day
(another lonely day)
You can go your own way,
Go your own way
You can call it, another lonely day
The song "Go Your Own Way" by Seaweed is a song about a person who is in love with someone who isn't right for them. It's about the struggle of feeling strongly for someone but knowing that being with them won't make things better. The lyrics express the difficulty of trying to change things that the singer feels about their love interest, but ultimately realizing that it isn't possible. The second verse of the song speaks more directly about the situation, with the singer asking why things have turned around and the love interest seemingly only interested in packing up and moving on to something else.
The chorus of the song, "You can go your own way, go your own way," represents the singer's acknowledgement that the love interest needs to do what is best for them, even if it means going separate ways. The song expresses sadness and loneliness, but also some acceptance and resignation that this is the right thing to do.
Line by Line Meaning
Loving you, isn't the right thing to do
Being with you is not the best decision for me
How can I, ever change things that I feel
I cannot control my emotions
If I could, maybe I'd give you my world
If it were possible, I would do anything for you
How can I, when you won't take it from me
I can't give you my all if you won't accept it
You can go your own way,
You are free to make your own choices
Go your own way
Find your own path
You can call it, another lonely day
You might find yourself feeling alone
Tell me why,
Explain to me
Everything turned around
The situation has changed
Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do
You are more interested in moving quickly than building a solid relationship
Open up, everything's waiting for you
If you let go of the past, your future is full of endless possibilities
You can call it, another lonely day
You might feel isolated at times
You can go your own way,
You are not tied to me
Go your own way
Pursue your own dreams
You can call it, another lonely day
Sometimes going your own way can be lonely
You can go your own way,
You can choose your own path
Go your own way
Make your own choices in life
You can call it, another lonely day
But be prepared to be alone sometimes

I got to meet most of the Clerks cast yesterday and I literally cried. That movie changed my life.
Professor Stratios
It’s a great movie for sure but were you doing a stint as a sea snail or something prior to seeing it?
RayG26
@Professor Stratios I mean I was about 13 when I first saw it so no, but I really appreciate the unsolicited response.

One of the best movies ever made.
Paul Dixon
I completely agree :)
Andrew Barrett
This is one of the best soundtracks from the 90's.... This, Jesus Lizard, Bad Religion.... It shreds.
