Ween - Tried And True Lyrics






At the dawn, I woke, I was alone... rising
I called upon the force of time and space... calling
And as she came, to me, I fell back down... realizing
Oh that it's cool for you to love me now... I'm everything

Everything - 'cause tried and true, I see the light in you
Oh can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole... life?

You bent the edge, eclipsed, and turned around... aligning
And though the dark sparked rays of violet light... blinding
I went about the job of sowing thoughts... and feelings
Oh some were good, some bad, I felt the cries... of healing

'Cause tried and true, I see the light in you
Oh can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole... life?

Rise, my Dawn, you've been awake too long
Let me rest in time, while I blow your mind

At the dawn I woke, I was alone... rising (I catch it)
I called upon the force of time and space... calling (see them)
And as she came to me, I fell back down... realizing (creation)
That it's cool for you to love me now... I'm everything (I am)

Everything - 'cause tried and true, I see the light in you
Can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole... life?

Ween Tried And True Comments
  1. C.... ....

    I’m new to ween and I see a lot of fans talking bout brown. Not exactly sure what that means but the vocals in this song certainly come of as being “brown”

  2. A.... K....

    Tsa rules

  3. C.... V....

    Groovy.

  4. e.... r....

    I love this even more.

  5. S.... ....

    Do they slow down the vocal tracks or something?

  6. J.... C....

    Wait did he say "smell my hole"

    J.... C....

    Hole..... LIFE

  7. A.... L....

    Saw them in Louisville Kentucky...their masters of their trade...been following them since 1993...love em

  8. S.... ....

    Why has Ween never been to Woodstock?

  9. N.... S....

    When ween infected my mind with the boognish for all eternity and tore reality asunder, I felt that

  10. A.... S....

    Its cool, for me, to love this song.

  11. m.... s....

    Feeling this and that means i can cry at the people i love when they arent looking. Then wipe em off and drive on...

  12. F.... P....

    realising, it is cool, for you to love me now

  13. s.... ....

    this song would totally be at home on the mollusk

  14. S.... ....

    Mastered, or at least ran through its paces, every genre I can think of. Great idiots.

  15. X.... G....

    I wish we could hear more of this side of Ween

  16. B.... L....

    are the vocals chopped and screwed?

    B.... L....

    Ween started slowing down their vocals right around the same time DJ Screw started. Unfortunately for DJ Screw, he was downing fistfuls of codeine syrup instead of fistfuls of mushrooms.

  17. R.... L....

    A love song written by the sun about the moon.

  18. A.... ....

    Yo this sounds cool. (Listening to it while commenting)




    (I was sent by an edgeball friend.)

    A.... ....

    @Lemon Films C:

    A.... ....

    @Lemon Films C:

    A.... ....

    @Lemon Films It was fun talking to you- sadly I have to go now. C: enjoy your sad life.

    A.... ....

    Lemon Films
    I wonder how you sleep at night knowing you're not contributing to anything when you act like this??

    A.... ....

    Lemon Films
    Now please, leave my friend alone and this argument can end quickly. It's annoying and troublesome.

  19. A.... A....

    this song is about a comprehensive and satisfaying sugar daddy/momma

  20. J.... B....

    I love this song....

  21. R.... L....

    Idk but for some reason Ween is really nostalgic for me

    R.... L....

    yeah, time runs fast

    R.... L....

    Pure Guava reminds me of when I was a teenager and getting high in my garage. Love that album

  22. W.... P....

    Dude... so badass.

  23. C.... S....

    Anyone else think this smacks of The Fall "Paintwork"?

  24. N.... H....

    Reminds me of R. Stevie Moore, wonder if they were influenced by that boy

  25. j.... b....

    Chocolate pudding taxi cab, fish n chips yeah

  26. k.... ....

    These guys are fucking geniuses. CAN YOU SMELL MY HOLE ife?

  27. a.... ....

    This song is godsend

  29. g.... t....

    Pure magic

  30. v.... ....

    Dude, fucking masterpiece!!

  31. I.... L....

    I love Ween! Ready for a summer 2019 show!

  32. I.... O....

    If you understand this song, you understand life.

    I.... O....

    This song is about my gf

  33. j.... p....

    You got shicks on your foreface

  34. w.... ....

    Is anyone else seing/hearing parallels with the Butthole Surfers? So many types of music, but all accomplished, funny, clever, and massively underrated.

  35. S.... I....

    That's nice Glenn.

  36. M.... E....

    At the dawn, I woke, I was alone, rising
    I called you on, the force, of time and space, calling
    And as she came, to me, I fell back down, realizing
    Oh that it's cool, for you, to love me now, I'm everything
    Everything, 'cause tried, and true, I see the light in you
    Oh han you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole, life?
    You bent the edge, eclipsed, and turned around, aligning
    And though the dark, sparked rays of violet light, blinding
    I went about, the job, of sowing thoughts, and feelings
    Oh some were good, some bad, I felt the cries, of healing
    'Cause tried and true, I see the light in you
    Oh can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole, life?
    Rise, my Dawn, you've been awake too long
    Let me rest in time, while I blow your mind
    At the dawn, I woke, I was alone, rising (I got ya)
    I called you on, the force, of time and space, calling (see them)
    And as she came, to me, I fell back down, realizing (creation)
    that it's cool, for you, to love me now, I'm everything (I am)
    Everything, 'cause tried and true, I see the light in you
    Can you dig in my soul, could you smell my whole, life?

  37. g.... ....

    Love the descending notes. Works so well. Ween are the best! Truly unique. I know anyone has the freedom to make any music they want, but most of course stick to their expected style once they're established. How free it must feel to just make anything in any style, and for that to be expected from the fans.

  38. i.... s....

    This song is so good, definitely my favorite❤❤

  39. G.... W....

    🤘🤑🤘

  40. O.... D....

    Those vocals are the brownest

  41. J.... M....

    Weener 4 lyfe

  42. G.... ....

    Fantastic

  43. k.... ....

    something about this song that reminds me of The Big Lebowski and California in general...before it became irrevocably overrun with Mexicans.

  44. J.... ....

    Between Ween and Beck, a youthful affair so close to my heart I forget it's not part of me. Forget these songs are songs and not skin covering bone.

  45. I.... O....

    My favorite song until I die

  46. T.... K....

    Ween,are like the new versions of Simon & Garfangel,but underrated

  47. C.... C....

    True masters of the magic of music...

  48. D.... V....

    Would have been a giant hit round 1974 or something like that

  49. T.... G....

    Ween gonna ween.

  50. L.... P....

    Namaste 💗

  51. s.... ....

  52. m.... a....

    WEEN are so easy to fall in love with... <3 One of the most unique, versatile, creative and just audibly pleasing Groups for me since '96 until now. \,,/

  53. b.... g....

    This song soothes my soul.

  54. D.... G....

    Best album featuring my Mania

  55. O.... ....

    Reminds me of a slower version of "And Your Bird Can Sing" by the Beatles.

  56. K.... K....

    🌞❤🌚

  57. d.... r....

    My ex learned how to play this on guitar for me. So touching.

  58. G.... O....

    this song makes me a metaman

  59. O.... W....

    this is the song I wish I've written

  60. D.... B....

    I have a boognish tattoo for this reason..Best band ever!

  61. M.... ....

    Ween is very easy to point at and say "drugs" but honestly i dont corelate my drug expeirences to ween i think of my favorite memories and my darkest times. I think all ive loved and lost and the faces ive met. A part of me still loves her but alot of parts of me know i no longer need her.

  62. g.... w....

    SO GOOD ALWAYS

  63. R.... W....

    The genius of Ween is their ability to make it work. They make it work so damn good! They make you think. They twist your ability to define reality and purpose and meaning. They cleverly dance around the fire that is life. The double harmony on this song amazed my son who was only 10 years old. It was like they were speaking another language to him.

  64. I.... M....

    Ween cover band from PA here, check us out and sub if you'd like, thanks. Hail boognish!

  65. J.... B....

    This is a Gods and Goddesses song man. Primordial shit for real.
    Creation....
    I am EVERYTHING

    and etc..

  66. J.... S....

    DOPE!!!!!

  67. J.... M....

    Its like the pink tenacious beatles

  76. T.... B....

    yeah the melted cheese was thick upon roof of mouth during this recording....like the horse head face you pull when shampoo gets in your eyes during a shower of a weekday...

  77. L.... M....

    One of my favorite ween songs ever. There's so goddamned many and I usually like the fucktarded short stupid little brown ones but theyre all a bit brown, naturally

  78. B.... R....

    This is a song I've dedicated to my girlfriend when we started dating around 4 years ago. We were long distance for about 2 years. When I met her in person, I couldn't stand the thought of not being able to see her, so I quit my job, took a road trip across the US, with some additional trips in between, and moved in with her. Been 2 years since, and now I gotta move back home, so I'm looking at another road trip, but this time with the girl of my dreams by my side

    B.... R....

    Good for you bro that shit is rare 💪 good luck hope it’s goin well

    B.... R....

    Good for you bro, just lost the girl of my dreams. but hey, we still have Ween.

    B.... R....

    My new fav song

  86. N.... ....

    One of the most versatile bands I have ever heard.

  87. s.... ....

    This is the song that got me into Ween recently. I liked them before because of Don't Laugh (I love you) because I heard it at the end of GWAR's Road Behind LP. But turns out these guys are amazing and have a ton of great material. So glad I revisited and tried their catalog.

  88. G.... ....

    think this song is about a shaman or mage or something?

  89. A.... k....

    Ween fans just get it. IT. THEY GET IT. Don't F'n question it!
