Seemless were a stoner rock band formed by ex-Shadows Fall drummer Derek Kerswill, Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach, ex-Overcast guitarist Pete Cortese, and ex-Medium bassist Jeff Fultz. Hailing from Massachusetts, Seemless is one of the few non-metalcore acts to come out of that area and make a mark on the hard rock scene.
Formed in 2002 following Leach's departure from Killswitch Engage, Seemless was signed to Equal Vision Records, and released their first self-titled LP 2003. They toured extensively over the next year, quickly making a mark on the stoner rock scene with their mixture of soul and blues elements. However, the group never really got out from under the shadow of the acts that the members used to be in until the release of 2006's What Have We Become, which really boosted Seemless into the scene. Tours with the likes of Trivium, The Sword, In Flames, Lacuna Coil, and Fu Manchu garnered Seemless even more recognition, and they are soon to be featured on mainstream radio, with a remixed version of the single Eyes of a Child.
The band announced on 25th June 2009 that they have called it quits. They will be playing their final show in September 2009.
Numb
Seemless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got to get away got to get out of this place.
Searching for another way.
No more trying to escape.
Now I'm standing face to face with my pain.
Down choking it down.
Got no one to blame for this state that I'm in.
Down choking it down I got to get away got to get out of this place.
The lyrics to Seemless's song "Numb" convey a feeling of desperation and hopelessness in the face of pain and a desire for escape. The line "down forcing it down I got no one to blame for the state that I'm in" suggests a feeling of personal responsibility for the struggles faced, possibly due to a sense of inadequacy or fear of vulnerability. This is followed by a repeated desire to "get away" and "search for another way" to escape this pain. However, later in the song, the singer acknowledges that there is "no more trying to escape" and they must confront their pain face to face. This shift from avoidance to confrontation suggests a sense of personal growth and a willingness to face difficult emotions head on.
The line "down choking it down" further reinforces a sense of internal struggle and trying to suppress difficult feelings. The repeated desire to "get away" suggests a sense of feeling trapped, whether by circumstance or one's own internal state. The final line, "desperation has a way of making you crazy," encapsulates the sense of struggle and the toll that emotional pain can take on a person's mental health.
Overall, the lyrics to "Numb" convey a powerful message about the difficulties of facing emotional pain and the struggle to escape it. It speaks to the importance of confronting difficult emotions head on and the potential for growth and personal development that can result from doing so.

I need to get this album... I still listen to their first LP to this day. I don't like most of the bands in this genre, and yet these guys have always been just ridiculously brutal for what they are. Killswitch wishes they had as much pure balls as this band did
