Small and Silver
Wet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave me on a mountain, drown me in the sea
I will take what I can get
Small and silver, teach me how to live
Small and silver, teach me how to lie
I will take what I can get
Leave me helpless, oh
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me
Leave me desperate
Put me in a clown car, take me for a drive
Kiss me in the front seat, take me for a ride
Small and silver, teach me how to live
Small and silver, teach me how to lie
I will take what I can get
I will take what I can, take what I can
Take what I can, ooh
Leave me desperate
Leave me breathless, oh
Leave me helpless, oh
Leave me desperate
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me (Leave me here)
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me
And leave desperately
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me (Leave me here)
Leave me, leave me, oh
Leave me, leave me
Leave me desperate
In "Small and Silver," Wet expresses their willingness to take whatever life gives them, whether it's good or bad. The lyrics suggest a feeling of surrender, as if they have given up control of their life and are just going along for the ride. The images of mountains and the sea, drowning and driving, all evoke a sense of being carried away by forces greater than oneself.
The lines "Small and silver, teach me how to live / Small and silver, teach me how to lie" are ambiguous but can be interpreted as a reference to drugs or other substances that can both help someone feel alive or numb their emotions, depending on how they are used. The repetition of "leave me" and "desperate" in the chorus suggests a longing to escape from one's own existence or feel something intensely.
