Nothing Left
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's always a scent in the air
It seems you're trying
To capture what's not really there
And so, remember
The ones that you used up for gain
You'll live forever
With no side effects of your shame
So run, get a little further away from me
Goodbye, a little bit of fire in your apathy
So burn, every little piece that you take from me
Don't turn your back till there's nothing that's left of me
The thirst has woken
And nobody seems so aware
The fakes and liars
Are newly elected as heirs
Opine, and render
Your judgments from basements and chairs
Maligned, we fester
It seems you're all so self aware
So run, get a little further away from me
Goodbye, a little bit of fire in your apathy
So burn, every little piece that you take from me
Don't turn your back till there's nothing that's left of me
Can you feel it going down?
Is it lost to your attention?
Break the seal and drink it down
Until you've lost your apprehension
So run, get a little further away from me
Goodbye, a little bit of fire in your apathy
So burn, every little piece that you take from me
Goodbye, get a little further away from me
The lyrics of Seether's song "Nothing Left" describe a person who is weak and tired, but trying to capture something that isn't really there. The singer warns this person to remember the ones they may have used for personal gain, as they will ultimately have to live with the consequences of their actions. The song also comments on the state of society, with the fakes and liars rising to power and rendering judgments from their comfortable positions. It all culminates in the refrain imploring the listener to run, burn, and get further away until there's nothing left.
On a deeper level, the lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the human condition. We are all trying to achieve something, constantly seeking something that may not even exist. In the process, we often hurt others and use them for our own gain, only to realize the empty feeling of our achievements. Society is also corrupt, with those in power often being untrustworthy and manipulative. The final lines of the song showcase the singer's desire for separation from this flawed world.
Line by Line Meaning
You're weak and tired
You are feeling physically and mentally exhausted
It's always a scent in the air
There's always something wrong or awry, and it's palpable
It seems you're trying
You appear to be attempting to fix the situation
To capture what's not really there
You are chasing after something that doesn't exist or is unattainable
And so, remember
Therefore, keep in mind
The ones that you used up for gain
The people you took advantage of for your own benefit
You'll live forever
Your memory and reputation will continue on
With no side effects of your shame
Without any guilt or remorse for your actions
The thirst has woken
The craving or desire has awoken
And nobody seems so aware
No one else seems to be cognizant of it
The fakes and liars
The dishonest and inauthentic people
Are newly elected as heirs
Have just been chosen as successors
Opine, and render
Share your opinion and give your verdict
Your judgments from basements and chairs
Your judgments are made from a place of safety or comfort, without action
Maligned, we fester
We are oppressed, and as a result, grow worse or more corrupt
It seems you're all so self aware
You all think you know yourselves well, but in reality, you don't
Can you feel it going down?
Can you sense everything falling apart?
Is it lost to your attention?
Have you stopped paying attention to it?
Break the seal and drink it down
Unleash the hidden emotions and consume them
Until you've lost your apprehension
Until you no longer feel anxious or worried
Goodbye, get a little further away from me
Farewell and distance yourself from me

The thirst has woken
And nobody seems so aware
The fakes and liars
Are newly elected as heirs
Of mine, and render
Your judgements from basements and chairs
Realigned we fester
It's easier or so self aware
So run, get a little further away from me
Goodbye, a little bit of fire in your apathy
So burn, every little piece that you take from me
Don't turn your back till there's nothing that's left of me
Can you feel it going down?
