Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill my mind with foreign words
To keep me wanting.
And speak now child
And chill my heart
With all the hurt and keep me
Suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold face lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind.
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams
Yeah all my dreams are dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
Be quick now child
And soil my bed with all your dirt
Just keep me suffering
All these promises
Lectures and bold face lies
All these promises
Born of a shameless mind
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams,
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe is dead inside
Don't let me sleep
Take me back
But don't let me be comfortable
If I get too weak
Cut no slack
But don't let me be comfortable
Don't let me sleep
Take me back
But don't let me be comfortable
Leave me to heal on my own
With those empty cool promises
You stole my dreams,
Yeah all my dreams I'm dead inside
Please let me feel my way home
Without reason or compromise
You stole my dreams
Now all I believe in is dead inside
If you say you're alive
When you pray you're a liar
Oh you'll hate when I'm right
And you lay in the fire
The lyrics of Seether's song Master of Disaster present a sense of betrayal and manipulation in a relationship. The opening lines convey how the singer's partner has stolen their ability to see things clearly and filled their mind with empty words, leaving the singer feeling constantly unfulfilled and wanting more. The second verse speaks to the partner's ability to chill the singer's heart with hurt and suffering, seemingly deriving pleasure from the singer's pain. Additionally, the promises made by the partner are seen as lies, highlighting their manipulative tendencies and total disregard for their lover's emotional well-being. The outro further emphasizes the toxic nature of the relationship, with the singer begging to be taken back but not allowed to be comfortable, illustrating that they are stuck in a cycle of abuse and cannot escape.
