Diseased
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh my, how strong you are
And feast your eyes on my disdain
And hope this one won't scar
I will never belong to you again
I will never belong to you
'Cause I will never tell
And scream if you still hate my name
'Cause I'll be where I fell
Come sit close to me
Let me feel your breath
Come sit close to me
Hands around my neck
Come sit close to me
Let me feel your breath
Come sit close to me
Close to me
I will never belong to you again
I will never belong to you
And if I decide that I am alive then I'm diseased and ungrateful
And if I confide that I am a liar then I'm diseased and ungrateful
Push it in 'til it breaks
If it bleeds I'll be okay
If I decide that I am alive then I'm diseased and ungrateful
If I confide that I am a liar then I'm diseased and ungrateful
If I decide that I am alive then I'm diseased and ungrateful
If I confide that I am a liar then I'm diseased and ungrateful
Come sit close to me
Come sit close to me
Come sit close to me
Come sit close to me
The lyrics to Seether's song "Diseased" suggest a toxic relationship that the singer is trying to escape from. The first stanza speaks to physical marks that the partner has left on the singer's skin, implying physical abuse. The second stanza shows the singer expressing their determination to never belong to their partner again, while also acknowledging that the partner still wants to inflict pain on them. The chorus repeats this sentiment, underscoring the singer's determination to leave this relationship behind. The third stanza shows the singer almost giving in to their partner's advances, but ultimately keeping them at arm's length.
The final chorus brings the song to a climax, with the singer admitting that they feel diseased and ungrateful if they still want to be alive, or if they are honest about their feelings (as a liar). This suggests that the singer has internalized their partner's abuse, feeling guilty for wanting to leave and for expressing their true feelings. Overall, the song is a powerful depiction of the struggle to break free from an abusive relationship and the lasting emotional impact it can have.

Leave your mark under my skin
Make an impression on me that lasts
Oh my, how strong you are
You have a forceful impact on me
And feast your eyes on my disdain
Take pleasure in my displeasure
And hope this one won't scar
But hope that this one won't leave a lasting effect
I will never belong to you again
I will never be under your control again
I will never belong to you
I refuse to be yours
Push if you still need my pain
If you require my suffering, then continue to push me harder
'Cause I will never tell
But I won't reveal my weakness to you
And scream if you still hate my name
If you still despise me, then go ahead and scream
‘Cause I'll be where I fell
But I'll be in the same place where I've always been, despite your hatred
Come sit close to me
Come be near me
Let me feel your breath
And let me experience your life force
Hands around my neck
Even if it's dangerous for me
And if I decide that I am alive then I'm diseased and ungrateful
If I choose to live, then I'm abnormal and uncaring
And if I confide that I am a liar then I'm diseased and ungrateful
And if I admit to being dishonest, then I'm not appreciated
Push it in 'til it breaks
Keep going until it's too much
If it bleeds I'll be okay
And even if there are consequences, I'll still be fine
Come sit close to me
Despite it all, please come be near me
Close to me
And stay as close as you can

CRIS-ELIPHAS LEVI
Doente
Deixe sua marca sob a minha pele
Oh, como você é forte
E delicie seus olhos com o meu desprezo
E espere que este não deixe uma cicatriz
Eu jamais pertencerei a você novamente
Eu jamais pertencerei a você
Pressione, se você ainda precisa da minha dor
Pois eu jamais contarei
E grite se você ainda odeia o meu nome
Pois eu estarei onde caí
Venha sentar perto de mim
Deixe-me sentir sua respiração
Venha sentar perto de mim
Mãos em volta do me pescoço
Venha sentar perto de mim
Deixe-me sentir sua respiração
Venha sentar perto de mim, perto de mim, yeah
Eu jamais pertencerei a você novamente
Eu jamais pertencerei a você
Se eu decidir que estou vivo
Então eu estou doente e sou ingrato
E se eu confidenciar que sou um mentiroso
Então estou doente e sou ingrato
Pressione até quebrar, e se sangrar, eu estarei bem
E eu decidir que estou vivo
Então eu estou doente e sou ingrato
E se eu confidenciar que sou um mentiroso
Então estou doente e sou ingrato
E eu decidir que estou vivo
Então eu estou doente e sou ingrato
E se eu confidenciar que sou um mentiroso
Então estou doente e sou ingrato
Venha sentar perto de mim
Venha sentar perto de mim
Venha sentar perto de mim
Venha sentar perto de mim
