Eyes of the Devil
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I realize, I don't get hurt
And always, it seems I've lost my way
When I feel you, it's not enough
And I need you to shun my touch
I notice the season's ripe for change
I'm weak
So with every new lesson learned
I could keep you before it turns
And the knowledge that things won't be the same
Now I realize that you have won
And there's nothing to be said or done
And I notice the wind won't blow my way
So run with the eyes of the devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me
It kills me to watch this fade
And I realize it's all charade
And every mistake I make is the same
I beseech you to let me drown
Will it please you to let me down
And no one can save me from the pain
So run with the eyes of the devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me [x3]
Jesus, save me! (i'm weak) [x5]
Jesus, save me from me
The lyrics to Seether's song Eyes Of The Devil express feelings of weakness, pain, and desperation. The singer laments getting burned and feeling lost, yet finds no solace in the presence of someone they need to shun. Through every new lesson learned, the singer hopes to keep this person before it's too late, but eventually realizes that they have lost them for good. The haunting refrain of "I'm weak" emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and powerlessness in this situation.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more desperate and pleading. The singer begs to be let go, to be drowned, and to be saved from themselves. The imagery of running with the eyes of the devil and succumbing to the lies of the rebel suggests a struggle between temptation and salvation, with the singer feeling pulled in both directions. The final cry for Jesus to save them from themselves is a poignant plea for help and redemption.
As a whole, the lyrics to Eyes Of The Devil convey a sense of emotional turmoil and inner conflict. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their own weakness and mistakes, while desperately seeking a way out of their pain. The haunting melody and raw vocals only add to the intensity of these emotions, making it a powerful and memorable song.
