Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know the special place, it's right inside your face, oh, better now
Bit me, taste me, waste me, go on
Bit me, taste me, waste me, go on
I know where you belong, so tell them now, leave me alone now
I know the special place, it's right inside your face, oh, better now
Bit me, taste me, waste me, go on
Bit me, taste me, waste me, go on
The interpretation of the lyrics in Ty Segall's 'Go Home' could depict a conversation between two characters. One character, who seems to be speaking from a position of power, is telling the other character that they know where they belong and they should leave them alone. The use of the phrase 'leave me alone now' suggests that there might be some form of a disagreement. The second character seems to be provoked and is instructed to 'bite me, taste me, and waste me.' It could be interpreted as the second character being encouraged to retaliate or react in a physical manner.
However, the next verse seems to convey a different mood. The repetition of 'I know the special place, it's right inside your face, oh, better now' may suggest a calming tone, perhaps a way of consoling someone. From this perspective, the "special place" could be a safe place within themselves, to take refuge when they feel provoked or in a state of disagreement. The lines 'bit me, taste me, waste me, go on' could be interpreted as a challenge or temptation to react in a certain manner, but the phrase 'oh, better now' could indicate that the calming nature of finding that 'special place.'
