Lyrics for Go With The Flow as interpreted by ikari

Go With The Flow Lyrics
She said "i'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
With something sweet to throw away.
But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?
I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?

I think the title of the song explains what is about, is about just letting things happens and not taking any chances in a relationship because we are confortable

I think it means that it's not as hard as you may think to get over something or someone. Mind over matter. If you really want to get over it, you will.

To me, it seems like someone trying to explain to an ex how they feel. The ex has said "I'm outta here, this doesn't matter, what we had wasn't anything", and the person is trying to convince them otherwise. Go with the flow, I can deal with you leaving, but don't say it doesn't matter to you, do you believe it in your head?

Well, if you ever see the music video for the song, I would lean more towards what R o c k says because in the video, beyond looking really damn cool, it has a similar design to that, man woman, 2 cars, genitalia represented by said cars in a way, then the ending which is just messed up, go watch it.

about an ex, certainly

i wouldnt subscribe to R o c k's thoery exactly though
and rmm311 - the video for feelgood has sex, but the lyrics dont refer to it. great video though// and that "man" would be josh homme

the video for this song is fuckin amazing, coolest and best video ive seen in a long while in this dark age of crappy rap metal and boy groups and slutty female role models....R O C K is right....at the end of the video the two crashed trucks, I believe, becomes sperm and flys around to the girl I believe....I cant remember exactly cuz ive only seen it twice, but im pretty sure of the sperm part...

SONG MEANING:
He can go with the flow, only because that's all the girl wants, to have sex and move on, who wouldnt' go with that? But he wants something that means more.

"But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live. "

Notice the irony in what he says. He feels empty and wants something to make life beautiful, worth dieing over.

By the way, this video kicks so much ass!!!! I play this video every nite before i go to bed, I just loop the video and watch it till i fall alseep. Too bad i dont dream about the girl in the video :(

Laaaaaaate!!!!! :D

i see gueveralives subscribes to the age-old STUPID FUCKS for of logic. just because i disagreed with him/her on another lyric

BORT THE GREAT - video's arent always just reinstating the message of the lyrics - unless you want us to believe no one knows is about deer-hunting and lost art of keeping a secret is about a gas station

i think this song is partly about sex and with some love in there too. sex because, well the video explains it all...its cool and everything and is a great song. basically i think this song is explaining how a guy likes this girl and she doesnt really like him then all of a sudden she really likes him and thats how he can't "believe it in your head." the "falling in and out of love with something sweet to throw away" i think is when you are in a relationship you have the little things that you both did together and when you break up most people throw them away. i'm not sure about any of this...just a guess.

Im gonna be dead shallow and not go into meanings, but I think the way the guitar sings in this is what seems to make this track so unique... Plus the video is great to watch..

Also I bet this would be damn good to drive to!

"She said "i'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"

I think the photos mentioned are pornographic pictures the girl decided to take.

brain case - i agree. it's probably lapsteel guitar, an instrument they've been using in their songs for ages, and which helps them stand out as the best band around(as well as the fact they are genius songwriters and musicians)

LPgurl - sorry, i just think they're photos. yeah, they could be pornographic. but that doesnt come to MY mind first (hehe, ye of the dirty mind)

You know what's funny? You don't need the video to realize what the songs about. Fucking is it.

This song is about a breakup...and all the horrible feelings you have before, during, and after...

(BTW, I don't think the photos are porno...as some have said..I think they're photos of the couple...who are now breaking up...)

the guy (the author) wants to move on to make a new mistake...("loose is more than hesitate")...

but what he's really trying to get something is something that's [worth dying for] "to make it beautiful to live..."

just my 2 cents...

well, one of my friends claims she "loves" this song, and it "describes her life perfectly" and as far as I could interpret it, it's about a sexual relationship in which the girl gets bored with it and decides to leave.

not to mention the girl who told me she loves this song has had 4 boyfriends in the last 7 months, and cheated on 2 of them at least 3 times each, and had a pregnancy scare. yah.

keep on trucking.
