Kasabian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seek and destroy all you have 'cause I know
Brother your fears and my tears 'cause you know
And all I have now is being here with you

Seek and destroy all you have cas I know
Cause I know know right now
They will never be tuning in
To what we know

And all I have now is being here with you
Cover your fear it's all we know
Cover your fear it's all we know

And all I have now
Is being here with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kasabian's song Seek & Destroy appear to be about letting go of material possessions and focusing on the importance of human connection. The repetition of the phrase "seek and destroy all you have" suggests that the song is encouraging listeners to rid themselves of unnecessary clutter - both physical and emotional - in order to fully embrace experiences and relationships with others. The line "brother your fears and my tears 'cause you know" could be interpreted as an acknowledgement of the struggles faced by loved ones, and a reminder that we are all in this together.

The repeated refrain of "all I have now is being here with you" reinforces the importance of present-moment awareness and mindful connections with others. The lines "cover your fear it's all we know" suggest that fear is a universal experience, and that we must learn to accept and cope with it in order to fully connect with others. The final line, "and all I have now is being here with you," is a powerful reminder that human connection is both necessary and sufficient for a fulfilling life.

Line by Line Meaning

Seek and destroy all you have 'cause I know
I understand that sometimes you have to let go of everything you have in order to move forward.

Brother your fears and my tears 'cause you know
We share the weight of our fears and sadness together, as brothers.

And all I have now is being here with you
The only thing that matters in this moment is our shared presence and our connection to each other.
