Protect Me From What I Want lyrics:
It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
Corporate America wakes
Coffee Republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home
[Chorus]
Protect me from what I want... [x3]
Protect me protect me
Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone
[Chorus x4]

[@arthurkurbedzis]

The rhythm and instrumental - makes it very touchy and great.

[@christinabooth5373]

This song HITS. Every. Time.❤️🎶

[@ASMRconKiki]

Isn't it weird, how songs can sometimes perfectly fit our personal situations in life? Right now I really need something to protect me from what I want.

[@f.sattar]

Hermetic Kitten Wow. It was weird to find you here, but I admire a lot the creativity of your work (and owe you lots of nights of sleep). I hope you can find what you are looking for, cara maga, you really deserve it for what you've done for lots of us.

[@erdembilmen2362]

Hermetic Kitten 👍🏻

[@rage17915]

Well that's the irony, right? No one can really protect us from what we want. The onus is on us to learn to not want these things that harm us. Unfortunately, our brains do a great job of blinding us from seeing the danger we might even fully know is there... "Protecting" us from what we need and embracing the horrors of what we "want".

[@notagropequarium6278]

is it crack?

[@abcde-lq6tf]

yes

[@obliviateliv]

this song is perfect for the times when you want things you feel guilty about

[@rocsiali4092]

Like times I urge to go back to abuse (victim mentality, codependent, etc)

[@hoymmloy9440]

Coke for me lol

[@julienboulle786]

This song is good when you want enter in battle 😉

TRAGIC, BEAUTIFUL, SAD, TRUE. A MASTERPIECE

[@lispboy2910]

play this as loud as possible, the sudden finish makes your ears ring and gave me goosebumps

[@ARottenMuffin]

That's called tinnitus, your ears ring from damaging them after hearing enough loud sounds if you continue to do so, not a good thing man.

[@rocioleal6546]

I’ve got tinnitus and there’s no cure, it’s permanent ear damage.

[@rainbowunicorn3712]

Just most amazing song
I'm crying

[@beelove9910]

Take a minute to perfectly align this song with their french version in a second window and let your mind explode beyond reason.

[@ashrellred3509]

true, it slap

[@ladeedacook]

Huh?

[@snotjoch4245]

I JUST did that, now i found your comment, I like the french one more though

[@i-AMsorrow]

No saben cuánto amo a esta banda
La empecé a escuchar cuando tenía como 5 años
Ahorita tengo 17
Todo fue por qué una vez ví el vídeo de this picture
Y de hay empecé a investigar sobre ellos
Los amo Placebo ❤️❤️

"Protect Me From What I Want"
It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
Corporate America wakes
Coffee republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home
Protect me from what I want...
Protect me protect me
Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone
Protect me from what I want...
Protect me protect me
Protect me from what I want...
Protect me protect me

[@muhgtra2sd]

Placebo protect us all from what we want and that's clear, the message spread in this song means we don't have anything to be scared off, even when you feel appalled or threatened Placebo will be there to drive out hatred and dangers, truthfully!

[@tannmedi]

[@senasekerli4140]

Bir şarkı olsaydım eğer, şüphesiz bu olurdum.

[@marieblue]

In 2009, frontman Brian Molko said that “Protect Me From What I Want” (2003) “was inspired by the American neo-conceptual artist Jenny Holzer.” He added : “It is really a discourse with myself about my self-destructive behavior.”
This is a cut from the the British band’s fourth studio album, “Sleeping With Ghosts” (2003). The ghosts refer to the past relationships that still haunt Molko.
For the LP, the power trio wanted to expand their sound and invited producer Jim Abbiss to bring them into an electronic territory.
Molko explained : It doesn’t turn its back on the vibe of Placebo, but we’ve taken a few more chances. We’re not trying to be willfully obscure; we’re just trying to spread it out a bit more. Melodies we’d usually do on a guitar, we’ve played on other instruments to keep the sonic palate exciting.” 💜🎼💚

[@elnaraaghayeva6711]

♥️

[@insomnia6233]

From the lyrical point of view, this one is the best Placebo song, imo. From the sound point of view, I like the song Exit Wounds best. The Prodigal Son is pretty close, too.

[@JoeyJoeJoe87]

Sound wise, Follow the Cops is their best imo. Placebo are the best

[@razorcandi11]

Feels...

[@saryaseven1407]

“Protect me from what ı want” write this on the condom

Hahahahahaha comment of the year

[@TeddyCuartas]

Haha this is hilarious! you made my day!

[@viviana7916]

It would be "protect me from what I do not want", if its from something you do want, why would you protect for?

[@zuN-ch5ed]

VIVIANA you didn’t understand nothing 😂

[@dianapaolamc5104]

It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
Corporate America wakes
Coffee republic in case
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home
Protect me from what I want,
Protect me protect me
Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone
Protect me from what I want,
Protect me protect me
Protect me from what I want,
Protect me protect me
Protect me from what I want,
Protect me protect me
Protect me from what I want,
Protect me protect me

[@tsukimikokoro4268]

When you runaway from a toxic and traumatic community of alcoholic and drugs addict partygoers and now you feel alone kind of feeling.

[@sengannlerouge]

La version fr est encore plus prenante... à écouter en boucle... ;D

[@celebrant9]

It really does sound "weird" in english. :p
For me the french version is an absolute masterpiece! Granted, the lyrics are similar but I prefer the french one.
Brian sings with so much passion in it as well!

Protect me from what i want....
As a man who's/ was Addicted to Cocaine for over 10 years, i have my own meaning of This Song. I've found a woman for myself and we're together for 1 1/2 Years and she's the One who's protecting me of This crap all the time. She took me out of This swamp. Before i Met her, it seems to be impossible for me to quit it. But she and her Kids changed Everything.
Somehow This she's what This Song is about to me.

[@user-sd1zw4yf1l]

C'est le malaise du moment
L'épidémie qui s'étend
La fête est finie, on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, visages gris
Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudis qu'on appelle maison
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Sommes-nous les jouets du destin
Souviens-toi des moments divins
Planant, éclatés, au matin
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls
Perdus les rêves de s'aimer
Le temps où on avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want

Protect from wat I want : superbe chanson pour les années après-guerre ! 70 ans d'un essor de toutes sortes de maux derrière la vitrine brillante des magasins. Il n' y a que maintenant, au XXI siècle, qu'on voit quelques conséquences : fermes-usines, pollution de l'eau, de l'air, tortures pour les animaux, montagne de déchets, dégâts sanitaires avec essor des malformations (cancer, handicaps...) et catastrophes naturelles (crues, déserts).
