Like Suicide
Seether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Premeditation will kill the trust
They'll never know if you fear me
With every second collecting dust
I feel so bloated and weary
'Cause she belongs to heaven

She's coming over like a suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip. AS BEFORE!

She'll cut you down with a single thrust
She's taking over too quickly
No medication can cure the lust
So say a prayer for the sickly
'Cause she belongs to heaven

She's coming over like a suicide

And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip. As before! As before!

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time

You set me up to fucking fail this time


She's coming over like a suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another overbearing suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip

She's coming over wearing genocide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip as before




Another complicating suicide
And its the same old trip, the same old trip. AS BEFORE! AS BEFORE!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Seether's song Like Suicide seem to be about a toxic and complicated relationship, in which one partner is intimidating and controlling the other. The first line, "Premeditation will kill the trust," suggests that one partner has been making plans that will ultimately destroy trust between them. The next line, "They'll never know if you fear me," implies that there is a power dynamic at play, in which one partner is afraid of the other. The lines "She'll cut you down with a single thrust/She's taking over too quickly/No medication can cure the lust" suggest that this partner is aggressive and obsessed with the other, to the point of being dangerous.


The chorus seems to be about how this relationship is cyclical, repeating the same destructive patterns over and over again. The repeated line "It's the same old trip, the same old trip as before" reinforces this idea. The line "Say a prayer for the sickly" could suggest that this relationship is causing harm to both partners, or that one partner is being physically hurt.


The final verse includes angry and frustrated lines "You set me up to fucking fail this time" repeated several times, suggesting that one partner feels manipulated or trapped in the relationship. The final lines of the song include the repetition of "the same old trip as before" again, suggesting that this relationship is inescapable and doomed to repeat itself.

@JIPS1993

Apparently the record label didn't even want it on the album! Crazy!

@IXAIAX

@@JIPS1993 Ive heard about that...actually the videos the band posted recording the track was a form of pressure to the label to let them release the track...the boys knew that the world would love this song

@JIPS1993

Right? I heard this song the first time on a Randy Orton edit video 5 or 6 years ago and fell in love with it instantly. Masterpiece.

@deathpheonix
