Saturation

Template:Infobox song "Saturation" is the twelfth track on Grey Daze's 1997 sophomore album ...No Sun Today.

Background

The band had their first pre-production sessions for their second studio album in February 1996 with David Knauer. There, they recorded a version of "Saturation". The album, however, was shelved due to lack of funds to finish the studio time.

The song was once again recorded live in the studio by David Knauer and Mike Jones during their pre-production session for ...No Sun Today in December. That same month, Knauer was in a bad car accident so he had to move way from the project. The album version was produced by Jones.^[1]

Lyrics

Template:Collapse top

Let me tell you about myself
Some say I've got a bad attitude
Some say I've got nothing else
Let me tell you about myself
Some say I have a lot to prove

Let me tell you about myself
I'll do whatever you want
I'll do what you ask me to
But I won't do what you tell me to do
No

Strange
Love
Be Gone
Be Gone

Let me tell you about myself
Some say I got a long way to go
Some say I'm going straight down
Some say there's nowhere to go
And this is what I say
Yeah,
Yeah...

Strange
Love
Be Gone
Be Gone
Strange
Love
Be Gone
Be Gone
