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.
Things Fall Apart
Seemless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I speak to those who choose to hear
I feel this life becoming yesterday
Hope will remain
All the times I'd deny myself I'm filled with uncertainty
I cannot lie, I would hide and lose myself
Things fall apart to be revealed beyond yourself
The beauty of life
Hope will remain.
All the times I'd deny myself I'm filled with uncertainty
I cannot lie, I would hide and lose myself
I lost myself for the moment
I will return again, return to you...
I will never be the distance between you and I
I will remain as long as you breathe
As long as you need a place to rest, I am always here
You run away but you can't escape
Everyone wants to be found
You're listening don't you see
Hope will always remain
Don't be mistaken it's my heart that's breaking
I'll take all the pain
And let it become me
But hope has never escaped....
The lyrics to Seemless's song, "Things Fall Apart," speak to the human experience of uncertainty and the power of hope to endure through difficult times.

This is one of my favorite songs ever, I used to listen to it every day sometimes over 10 times but thank you for putting this up on here, I wish Seemless was bigger back then. I got the privilege to see them once and even though it was a small set I enjoyed every minute of it!
D Kerswill
So very kind of you!

I don't know either... Things like Seemless and Paw still amazes me. Not because they were not a huge success but rather because many people that would enjoy them just have not heard of them.

If I ever win the MegaMillions lottery I'm going to use the money to ask Seemless to get back together for one kick-ass concert. And it will be free to everyone to attend. I think that would be quite fun, don't you?

I would like that too, I saw them with In Flames in 2006 and it was just amazing. But this song is particularly great
