I'm The One
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's only seventeen
Her Daddy said "Well that's enough of that
Come be my little queen"
And now he's touching her wrong again
He's gonna give her disease
He never wanted it anyway
He only does as he please
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
Here he's coming and he's drunk again
He's on amphetamines
Scratch his nails down the other leg
"'Cause you're my little queen"
And now he's touching her wrong again
She's only trying to get by
He never wanted it anyway
He never soils the child
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
We're coming for you
You
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
Won't you tell her that I said I'm the one
I couldn't hurt her like everyone
And tell her that I said I'm the one
And I don't deserve her
The lyrics to Seether's song "I'm The One" depict a story of a young girl who is being sexually abused by her own father. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of a concerned outsider who urges the young girl to know that she deserves better and that there is someone who cares for her. The first verse sets the tone for the story, with the girl being drunk and only 17 years old. Her father sees her in this state and takes the opportunity to exploit her. The father is shown as a manipulative and abusive figure, who is careless about his daughter's well-being.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the girl to know that she is not alone, that there is someone who cares for her, and that she deserves better than the life her father is giving her. The outsider who is singing the song wants to make sure that the girl knows that there is someone who will not hurt her like everyone else. In the second verse, the father is shown as someone who is high on amphetamines and doesn't care about hurting his daughter. The lyrics imply that the girl is just trying to survive and take care of herself, but her father's abuse is making it difficult for her.
Overall, the lyrics of "I'm The One" are a powerful statement against sexual abuse and a plea to young girls to know that there are people who care for them and they deserve better.
