This powerful rock anthem delivers a message of tough love and self-accountability. The lyrics depict a relationship where one party is self-destructive, while the other observes and refuses to enable their behavior. The repeated phrase "Go on and save yourself" serves as an urgent plea for the individual to take responsibility for their own healing, rather than relying on others or blaming them for their pain. The title "Cochise" refers to a Native American warrior who was known for his resistance against oppression, symbolizing the struggle and resilience that is necessary for personal growth and transformation. This song ultimately encourages listeners to confront their issues head-on, emphasizing that true change can only come from within.
Cochise
Lyrics
Well, I've been watching
While you've been coughing
I've been drinking life
While you've been nauseous
And so I drink to health
While you kill yourself
And I've got just one thing
That I can offer
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
I'm not a martyr
I'm not a prophet
And I won't preach to you
But here's a caution
You better understand
That I won't hold your hand
But if it helps you mend
Then I won't stop it
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
Drown, if you want
And I'll see you at the bottom
Where you crawl
On my skin
And put the blame on me
So you don't feel a thing
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
