Audioslave - What You Are Lyrics






And when you wanted me, I came to you
And when you wanted someone else, I withdrew
And when you asked for light, I set myself on fire
And if I go far away I know, you'll find another slave

now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood, I cut my veins
And when you wanted love, I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you, I'll give you up forever
And here I go, far away, I know you, you'll find another slave

Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are. Hey

Then a vision came to me, when you came along
I gave you everything, but then you wanted more

now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are. Hey
now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

  10. A.... C....

    I am happy to say I am now free from alcohol and meth addiction. I put my mom, dad, brothers, wife through so much. All those sleepless nights I was having just to finally realize that I was making everyone Also have sleepless nights because they were so worried about me so they wouldint sleep just to keep an eye on me. I put them through so much at those times specially my brother we were both addicts but he paid the price going to jail and mental hospitals cause the meth was getting the best of him. I thank God he turned his life around and he is now in AA's he is one of the most important persons in my life. I thank God for never letting my family give up on me they were there through all worst times in my life and thankfully they never lost faith or hope on me. And my beautiful wife 3 years into my addiction she found out she was pregnant I thank God that my daughter came out okay and she a very healthy and smart 14 month old baby. I've been sober for maybe around 8 months and i feel great I feel blessed and thankfully god gave me the power to leave my addiction behind me. And remember to always take care of your family I put my wife and everyone through so much I'm happy they never abandoned me. RIP Chris forever my favorite vocalist.

  28. C.... D....

    I am free, FROM WHAT YOU NEEEEEED!!!!!! Its fucking awesome to regain your own sense of freedom. Rip Chris Cornell

  29. O.... S....

    I wore this CD out when I was 17

  30. w.... L....

    O.c.d., ptsd, a.d.d., schizoaffective, g.a.d. and depersonalization. Yeah my plates for, im insane, i admit it.

  31. R.... T....

    .49 sounds like a line being snorted

  32. L.... R....

    Hello, does anyone have any idea what line of the "REMO" brand Brad Wilk uses in his Snare? The sound is perfect..... Greetings from Argentina!

  33. M.... A....

    2019 ... brazil???

  34. L.... D....

    His voice is raw emotion raw passion RIP Chris Cornell

  35. a.... ....

    Morello is probably on the top of the "worst guitarists ever" list. That "solo" is completely off and kills that mood set by Cornells lyrics and vocals.

  36. t.... o....

    The bass in this hits

  37. i.... ....

    This song used to remind me about someone else, but now it reminds me of the old me.

    2019 and I'm still rocking out RIP Chris!!!

  39. B.... M....

    Ill say what they want to committ you with. Im crazy and dont give a fuck and i know the laws.

  41. B.... M....

    The vibe makes my entire body tingle

  42. k.... d....

    He got the red pill.

  43. Z.... M....

    One of my favorite songs ever.

  44. J.... D....

    I've been free from alcoholism for 18 months. My brother died in my arms 7 months ago..my mom 6 days ago. That first drink is looking so good right now. Listening to this on repeat trying to get through the cravings, the pain.

  45. T.... m....

    que voz, mano

  46. G.... C....

    2:30 ...... Absolutety WOW !

  47. N.... ....

    To a guy who's prone to succumbing to abusive women, well, this rings many bells.

  48. J.... ....

    shailey tripp trying to cash in on todd Palin, does anyone know what is right there with your police department friends who sell amd use drugs. jamie morgan stephens, in Huntsville, al, first off. and dont think years ago i needed to go this far to say these thinfa. the venue is now... marc lawes-wasilla eagle river ak, a heroin addict, Louis lawes, wasilla eagle river alaska- a fornwr strong arm of liquor stores in Louisiana.... it gets good from here.

  49. N.... ....

    Dont cry ya'll . Chris is in a better place now. No more bleeding.

  50. B.... B....

    The fact that this only had 8k likes blows my mind! The fact that somebody actually disliked is just absurd!

  51. T.... P....

    Dedicated to my crazy ex wife. Get some one else to be your slave.

  52. M.... V....

  58. G.... U....

    Thank you 1886

  59. L.... S....

    Cornel has bipolar, i know it because of this song and from "feel on black days". what made him kill himself was just a bad day. So remember to never give up.

  60. D.... M....

    One of the best artists that I have ever had the pleasure to jam out to miss all the other stuff that he could have done

  61. m.... n....

    Spider-Man 2 TV Spot (2004)

  62. B.... B....

    Somehow I missed this song, but it has quickly risen up my audioslave list! Possibly top 5

    B.... B....

    I would suggest getting the complete Audioslave albums...they flow so well.  Songs are taken out of context if you don't have the complete masterpiece (album).  It's art!

  63. a.... j....

  67. J.... S....

    And when you wanted me I came to you

    And when you wanted someone else

    I withdrew

    And when you asked for a light I set myself on fire

    And if I go far away I know

    You'll find another slave

    'Cause now I'm free from what you want

    Now I'm free from what you need

    Now I'm free from what you are

    And when you wanted blood I cut my veins

    And when you wanted love I bled myself again

    Now that I've had my fill of you

    I'll give you up forever

    And here I go far away

    I know you'll find another slave

    'Cause now I'm free from what you want

    Now I'm free from what you need

    Now I'm free from what you are, yeah

    Then a vision came to me

    When you came along

    I gave you everything

    But then you wanted more

    'Cause now I'm free from what you want

    Now I'm free from what you need

    Now I'm free from what you are, yeah

  72. M.... C....

    Audioslave solos always crack me up xD

  73. A.... ....

    most of Chris' songs relate to love unfulfilled, relationships not understood, and feelings unrecognized - it's tuff being a really big hearted genius apparently.........

  74. J.... M....

  76. B.... B....

    Lyrics

    And when you wanted me,
    I came to you
    And when you wanted
    Someone else,
    I withdrew
    And when you
    Asked for light,
    I set myself on fire
    And if I go far away,
    I know
    You'll find another slave

    Now I'm free from
    What you want
    Now I'm free from
    What you need
    Now I'm free from
    What you are

    And when you wanted blood,
    I cut my veins
    And when you wanted love,
    I bled myself again
    Now that I've had
    My fill of you,
    I'll give you up forever
    And here I go far away,
    I know you
    You'll find another slave

    Now I'm free from
    What you want
    Now I'm free from
    What you need
    Now I'm free from
    What you are
    Hey

    Then a vision came to me
    When you came along
    I gave you everything
    But then you wanted more

    Now I'm free from
    What you want
    Now I'm free from
    What you need
    Now I'm free from
    What you are
    Hey
    Now I'm free from
    What you want
    Now I'm free from
    What you need
    Now I'm free from
    What you are

  90. M.... T....

    Radio Alquimia en Argentina... gracias, genial banda!

  91. S.... B....

    Best breakup song for a man ever. Well, I can name a few other contenders, but this one is just so straight forward it is a work of art..

    S.... B....

    Agreed.  This song came out right at the point of the biggest breakup of my life and man was it enjoyable to scream the words right along with him.  Gotta throw some props to Puddle of Mudd for that therapy also haha

    S.... B....

    glassjaw- lovebites and razor lines is a good breakup song too.. but this song is just plain perfected poetry

    S.... B....

    have you heard Gethsemane by Rise Against? some ppl say it's about some religious bullshit, I feel it's about being used.

  92. J.... K....

    Song about my failed marriage

  93. H.... L....

    RIF Chris Cornell !! Und danke für diese Lieder
