Do you think I'm faking
When I'm lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind
Nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind
Something lost for me to find
Do you know I'm faking now?

Do you know I'm faking
When I'm lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind
To everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
Something lost for me to find
Do you know I'm faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before, oh man

I guess you know I'm faking
When I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
To everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
There's nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I'm faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before, oh man

We have to...
Succumb to...
The feelings we can never face
I need you
I breathe you
I can't go through this all again

We have to...
Succumb to...
The feelings we can never face
I need you
I breathe you
I can't go through this

Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before

Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
It sounded like she'd used it once before, oh man

Then she told me she had a gun
She says she wants to use it on me now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Seether's song Driven Under are full of complex emotions and inner turmoil. The singer seems to be questioning his own authenticity and his relationship with his partner. The opening line, "Do you think I'm faking when I'm lying next to you?" suggests that the singer may not be completely invested in his relationship and may be hiding his true feelings from his partner. He then goes on to ask, "Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?" implying that he is not paying attention to his partner's needs and emotions.

He pleads with her, "We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face. I need you, I breathe you, I can't go through this all again."

Overall, the lyrics of Driven Under suggest a complex and troubled relationship, full of secrets, lies, and violence.
