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.
Something's Got To Give
Seemless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way we live our lives
In disregard for one another
Can't we see
It's time to change our perception
Something's really got to give
How can we live this way
We must overcome
Love sweet love will sustain us
All your money and possessions
They mean nothing
In the span of time
Open your eyes
See the real life
We can make a difference
If we try
Something's really got to change
The way we live our lives
In disregard for one another
Can't we see
It's time to change our perception
Prisoners to our own mistakes
We've got to wise up
Time to change our perception
Something's really got to give
How can we live this way?
So much pain and suffering
We must overcome
Love sweet love will sustain us
Take some time to recognize
What is false and part with it
Love sweet love will sustain us
Love will overcome
We'll be as one
Why are we so blind?
Why are we so cold?
I wanna' tear down these walls
They've built around us
Something's got to change
