Careless Whispers
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
I'm never gonna dance again
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
What am I without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose the crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we wanna say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this daze forever
Now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
I'm never gonna dance again
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Seether's version of "Careless Whisper" originally by George Michael is a powerful and emotional interpretation of the classic song. The opening lyrics describe uncertainty and vulnerability, with the singer leading their partner to the dance floor as the music dies. The imagery of a silver screen and sad goodbyes evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss.
The chorus reveals the reason for the singer's guilt and reluctance to dance again. They cheated a friend and wasted a chance they were given, acknowledging their actions were foolish and hurtful. Despite the temptation to pretend and hide behind false moves, they know their guilty feet have no rhythm and cannot go back to dancing with their friend the way they did before. Time cannot heal the careless whispers of a good friend, and the truth only brings pain.
The bridge portrays a desperate plea for love and regret for what could have been. The music's loudness contrasts with the hollowness that the singer feels without their partner. They realize that things are better this way, as they would only hurt each other with the things they want to say. The song concludes with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the lasting consequences of careless actions and the weight of regret.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel so unsure
I am uncertain about what is happening between us
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
I am trying to enjoy the moment with you
As the music dies
Our time together is coming to an end
Something in your eyes
I sense that you are feeling emotional
Calls to mind a silver screen
This moment feels like something from a movie
And all its sad goodbyes
It reminds me of feeling sad when saying goodbye to someone in a film
I'm never gonna dance again
I regret my actions and I can no longer embrace life the way I used to
Cause guilty feet have got no rhythm
I feel guilty for what I have done and cannot dance with confidence
Though it's easy to pretend
Even though I want to deny it, I know I can't
I know you're not a fool
I understand that you are not blind to my wrongdoing
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
I made a mistake in betraying my friend's trust
And waste the chance that I'd been given
I had a good thing going with you, and I ruined it
So I'm never gonna dance again
I know I have lost this chance and I cannot go back
The way I danced with you
I regret the way I handled our relationship and our time together
Time can never mend
Even with time, the damage is irreversible
The careless whispers of a good friend
My careless actions have hurt someone I considered a good friend
To the heart and mind
My actions have caused emotional and mental pain
Ignorance is kind
Sometimes it is easier to not know the whole truth
There's no comfort in the truth
Knowing the truth can be painful and hard to accept
Pain is all you'll find
The reality of the situation is that there is only pain left
What am I without your love
I feel lost without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
The music is a reminder of what I have lost
I wish that we could lose the crowd
I wish we were alone so we could talk
Maybe it's better this way
Perhaps it is best that we have some space from each other
We'd hurt each other with the things we wanna say
We both have things we want to say that would only cause more pain
We could have been so good together
We had a lot of potential as a couple
We could have lived this daze forever
We could have continued this feeling of being in a dream-like state forever
Now, who's gonna dance with me?
I am left alone, wishing for someone to dance with
Please stay
I want you to stay, but I know you cannot

I loved the original, but seether kills it in an awesomely haunting way: âPain is ALL youâll findâ and that guitar

The only bad thing about good songs is that they always end.
