Because of Me
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here she comes again
She's feeling like she's already won
I believe it's gonna end again, all for naught
My philosophy is things are just as wrong as they seem
I believe it's gonna end this way, atrocity
Like I believe in pain
Nobody died for you, somebody pray for me
When you see me cut me down
And I will force it underground
There's no-one left to hurt but me
And it's because of me, right?
There he walks away
He's feeling like he's having them on
I believe he's gonna bend again
And all for naught
My philosophy is things are just as wrong as they seem
Gotta get you off, off of me, it's such an oddity
Do you believe in love
Like I believe in pain
Nobody died for you, somebody pray for me
When you see me cut me down
And I will force it underground
There's no-one left to hurt but me
And it's because of me, right?
I want to see you suffer
Suffer
When you see me cut me down
And I will force it underground
There's no-one left to hurt but me
And it's because of me, right?
When you see me cut me down
And when you see me cut me down
And when you see me cut me down
And it's because of me
Suffer
The song "Because of Me" by Seether is a powerful and emotional song that delves into the singer's personal struggles with love and pain. The lyrics describe the self-destructive behavior of two individuals who are unable to break free from their negative patterns. The first verse describes a woman who is confident that she has already won and that the relationship is doomed to end in failure. The second verse describes a man who is walking away from the situation, feeling like he's being played for a fool. In both cases, the singer believes that the situation is hopeless and that nothing can be done to save the relationship.
The chorus of the song brings in the theme of self-hatred and the belief that the singer is the cause of the problems in the relationship. He believes that he is the one who is hurting himself and those around him and that he is the reason why the relationship can not succeed. The last line of the chorus, "And it's because of me, right?" is a powerful statement of self-blame and guilt that is at the heart of the song.
The bridge of the song brings in the theme of revenge, with the singer proclaiming that he wants to see his partner suffer. This is a powerful expression of the pain that he is feeling and the desire to hurt others as a way of dealing with that pain.
Overall, the song "Because of Me" is a powerful and emotional exploration of the themes of love, pain, self-destruction, and self-blame. It is a raw and honest expression of the singer's personal struggles and the powerful emotions that come with them.
