Seizures
Bender Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burn the time you steal
Hold the time that's real
Save and forfeit those that held the line
Were downed in record time
and stayed upended
All you dream about is just detail
Slow it passes by, draw another line
They set the colors
Get back one mor day, until the colors fade into another
And all your giving up is like seizures all along
Stand up and give it all like seizures
All you feel is all you'll ever be
All you feel is all you are again
All you feel is all you'll ever be
All you feel is all you are again
When it comes your time, and you laugh it off a while
And God forsaken lives feel the grind
The penny that you find will never buy back pride
When all you ever had is what was turned away
And you stood witness to the beating you go on, you go on
And all your giving up is like seizures all along
Stand up and give it all like seizures
All you feel is all you'll ever be
All you feel is all you are again




All you feel is all you'll ever be
You'll ever be, You'll ever be

Overall Meaning

Bender's song "Seizures" speaks to the struggles and sacrifices that come with chasing after one's dreams, and the toll it takes on a person. The opening lines of the song suggest that time is precious, and that it is important to make the most of the time one has. The next part of the lyrics can be interpreted in multiple ways - either as a reference to people who gave up on their dreams or as a call to leave behind those who were detrimental to one's progress. The word "detail" suggests that these people were not important, and could be let go of easily.


The verse "All you feel is all you'll ever be" speaks to the idea that one's emotions and aspirations define them as a person. The repetition of this line underscores the importance of believing in oneself and not giving up. The chorus "All your giving up is like seizures all along, Stand up and give it all like seizures" seems to suggest that giving up is not an option, and that one must strive towards their goals with everything they have, just like a seizure takes over the body's control and forces it to give everything it has.


The song's next verse describes the feeling of neglect and despair that can come when one's dreams are not realized, and their goals remain unfulfilled. The imagery of the beating that the person stands witness to can be read as a metaphor for the beating their dreams are taking from setbacks and rejections. In the end, however, the chorus returns with renewed urgency, telling the listener that all they feel is all they'll ever be, and that they must give it their all.
