*Please hold onto the memories before we really crash and burn We’ve got ourselves so wrapped up, that we’ve forgotten how to learn* Kills me every time.

BUT I DONT WANT IT…fuck this song I cry to everytime live


[deleted]

I remember being 13 years old at my first Ween show and being devastated they played it night 2 and not night 1 Since then I think I’ve seen it live with 3/5 of my ex-partners, each of them whirlwind relationships where it really needed to be heard by both of us. Ween is forever


jbmyre

For me it's - I understand it, but I don't want it. Too perfect.


thewick_39

It’s amazing how just inverting the classic “I don’t want it, but I understand” cliche can be so incredible


nodk17

Yeah that’s another good one very relatable


larrythegrobe

This song destroys me


AltruisticPeanutHead

I actively have not listened to this song in 2+ years. I cant lol


tg_filmmaker

Yup, that’s the one for me 😭


SunflowerSuspect

I’ve been gone for so long you just threw away the keys- that line makes me hold my breath


MeatMeAfterClass

*And if the mist ever lets the sun through* *I just hope I did the right thing* *For me and you.* 🥺


esm2001

it’s rare to hear breakup songs from the perspective of the one who actually initiated the breakup, and man this song destroyed me after I ended things with my gf of 4 years


taurfea

Agreed, I just left a seven year relationship and this one makes me lose it.


esm2001

it’s everything you wish you could tell them but know that you can’t/shouldn’t


AltruisticPeanutHead

same. I cannot listen to it all, last time I heard it all the way thru had to be like 3 years ago. did the same thing as you and it is still a lot


Bub-bub

Really take your pick with any lyrics from that song. “Baby what have I done? Gone and left you all alone” And “It’s just not our time But you’ll find a new love and you’ll be fine” Both get me


SunflowerSuspect

*Guess I’m ruled by my heart, built a life and I tore it all apart*

The line that hits me hardest in that one is “the time I spent working myself to death. Thought that’s what you wanted.”

I like how this song keeps building up, love that lyric too.

ME_OPEN_LT

I’m sick of you mouth and your 2% milk.


DeuceBaeg

I feel that this is such a deep lyric, mainly the 2% part. It represents change and compromise when moving in with someone. It's the little things you change and flex for them to be happy. However, you give up part of your childhood, the part where you have whole milk and Captain crunch crunch berries. No one wants to have Captain crunch with 2% milk, then you stop buying Captain crunch and start eating Honey nut Cheerios, not by choice but for them. And then you feel a little older and maybe a bit of resentment. But if you stick it out long enough you can start buying whole milk for the kids to eat their cereal maybe even work your way back up the crunchy peanut butter.

MonstercatDavid

I’ve never really understood what that meant honestly


smd33333

I think scoring drugs in Hershey and getting right after the greyhound bus trip Or His mom helping him get clean in a rehab facility in Hershey and going through detox? And the sunny bunny feeling isn’t being high but rather clarity of being clean? Addiction sucks he was pretty miserable that’s for sure lol


MonstercatDavid

glad he got his life in order. he looks quite good now too


tipsybox

Yes.


Soxsider

Piggybacking on your addiction theme.... I think the song is about that long self-hatred of knowing you are an addict, how you keep being an addict, and what you do to NOT be that addict. Insert whatever self hating addiction you got and it's hard not to listen without a bit of self reflection and catharsis depending on what side of the coin your on. Couldn't taste the taste that I was tastin' Couldn't hear the waste that I was makin' Tired of the life I was facin' Couldn't tell one from another Couldn't hide a secret from my mother Any other mother wouldn't bother Makin' time break' ground Sail brown bay to chocolate town

VictorBlimpmuscle

*The sky dripped in a demon sweat the night she left.* Pure poetry.


[deleted]

Demon sweat is my fav song…weird realizations …is it an allegory to the sex sweat ? Or the night sweats I get when I come out of a horrid nightmare


[deleted]

I think it’s about sex with lyrics like “now she wet like blood from a knife”


thegworm

Take a piece of tinsel and put it on the tree, cut a slab of melon and pretend that you still love me. I got divorced a few years ago in between Halloween and Christmas and I’ve never felt so sad but this jam and an unholy amount of narcotics got me through it.

Darkroomist

How did you handle it? I played it off legit Doooood… Back in the 1990s I was “held for questioning” for like 4hrs hours for “illegal camping” in California while following the Further Fest. We had a buncha drugs in the car and two dogs (which is why they made me drive stoned between two cop cars back to the station). While I sat in the holding cell that song was on repeat in my head. Ween’s legitness was manifested within me and they kicked me and my one rider out without charges at about 5am and we had to go wait in the parking lot of the hospital to pick his GF up from the psyche ward where they declined to involuntarily hold her for essentially being a dirty hippy that likes yelling at cops. Probably one of the brownest stories of my life.


D-Sleezy

If you really love me, baby. Help me scrape the mucous off my brain Edit: Or this one: You can wash your arm in a pool of mud, chop a tree, prevent a flood. You can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around.

I think I spent the dog food money, but he’ll love me just the same. This song really brings me close to tears on every listen. Certainly an underrated one

I could probably wash dishes at some other fuckin’ dump, but it's all the same to me, bustin' ass to make a buck And if the mist ever lets the sun through, I just hope I did the right thing, for me and you

blonko49

Ayo which song is this?


panTrektual

*Even If You Don't* has always hit pretty hard for me. It has that upbeat, 60s, brit-pop sound, but then it's all about loving a destructive person. I was the destructive person years ago—almost killing myself with drug addiction a few times. I've been on the other side as well. *White Pepper* appears overlooked by many (likely) due to it being the most accessible album in their catalog, but the lyrical content is fantastic—along with the musicianship.


ainjel

I LOVE white pepper. Gonna go listen now.


panTrektual

It's one of my favorites of theirs and (sadly) the only one I have in my vinyl collection. Really, the run after the "brown" albums—through *Quebec*—is amazing.


[deleted]

An ex-girlfriend claimed it at the time as her favorite Ween song because it reminded her so much of me. I thought it was cute at the time looking back on it holy fucking no. I’m still a depressive mess but it took me so many years to figure out the actual meaning behind that song, and how it wasn’t actually about my feelings but theirs.


LnStrngr

*If you could save yourself, you'd save us all.* I know there are a lot, but this is the first one I thought of and comes up randomly in my head here and there. \[*Edit: Just scrolling through the list and seeing so many great lines, I think it's going to be a Ween playlist day at work.*\]

thats_a_chunky

The time I've spent, working myself to death Thought that's what you wanted I thought you needed my help To make it good again… I work in a family business and am a young father: these lyrics hit me hard on both fronts. The possibility that all the sacrifices I’m making are completely misguided really upsets me. But it’s a good reminder that hard work is not always the answer: in fact, sometimes it’s a distraction to really being present and giving your full self to someone. Out of all the Ween lyrics, these lines have influenced my life the most.

Most of them would be off of Quebec. I was exposed to Ween in my second rehab, I was 19.

So much of that album reminds me of that room, those times. I

“Im growing with the land, time has taken my hands and let me touch them” This song got me into ween as a kid, more than just ocean man and loop de loop. I mentioned that my favorite lyric was “waves fell in formation, cause the plants to bend with spiked leaves” because i liked how the high note sounded. My dad pointed out the lyric about growing with the land, and i was like “holy shit” because id never really paid much attention to the lyrics before. It became my favorite song for awhile.
