ALBUM:MAKE YOURSELF
BASSIST:DIRK LANCE
Tabbed by incubuSCIENCE
Now, i know Dirk uses a 5-string, but all i got is a 4-string,
so i know some notes should be lower but this is the 4-string way.

There it is. That is the entire song in the exact order that
you play it in. This is 100% accurate for a 4-string bass.
Hope this is very helpful. PLEASE RATE THIS TAB!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Best Incubus song ever. It's all about being yourself and not letting others mold how you think and what you are. Just be yourself. "And if I fuck me, I'll fuck me in my own way" If I make mistakes, it'll be because I myself made them, not because I listsened to someone else or put my fate in someone else's hands. Great song. | |

| The title says it all - Make Yourself. Dont ever depend on trying finding who you are,. Know who you want to be and be that person. If you do depend on finding who you are you certainly wont get anywhere with it. Things will fuck up and you'll find yourself trying to find yourself again. If you make yourself who you want to be there's no way for you to be "papier-mache" . . you arent fake, you are who you are only who you have the desire to be. Sure you can be inspired by others. but take what you know about others and make who you want to be. dont base your life on others and what they think and do. just. . .be who you are. . make who you are. 1 2 3 Next | |

| I agree with most others here its all about indivdualism being who you are and not giving or or doing something or being someone just because everyone else is.Its about devolping the maturity to be able to conntruct yourself into a person who you want to be about growing up and staying ture to yourself.. | |

| these 2 interpretations are good, i also think its about how people tend to act as puppets, letting others make them, in a sense. for example, when people act or dress in a certain way to avoid criticism...thats letting someone else 'make you'. or when people get mad and say 'well, he MADE me mad because he did blah blah blah'...so?? you are the one and only person in control of your feelings, emotions, and actions. make yourself. | |

| This song just plain rocks! I mean, too me it means taking chances, and making choices that otherwise define self importance and freedom. Everyone of us have points in our life when others offer advice, or try to control your choices (weather it's about a car we buy, a girl we date, or choice of job). It's these choices that make your life defigned by you, "And if I fuck me...I'll fuck me in my own way." you could not say it any better then that. Taking a leap of faith and hoping for the best, only you can control you and this is what I think this song means. I LOVE IT! | |
