Safe To Say I've Had Enough
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you can never get enough
Words can't define you
The pig that grovels in a trough
Pain is a virtue
You wear it like a silken glove
Burn the ones around you
It's safe to say I've had enough
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
The meek can't defy you
So run them down and use them up
Nothing left inside you
An empty shell who's talking tough
God let me chain you
I'll keep you in a silver box
Break my promise to you
Until you've broken down enough
Until you've broken down enough
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough.
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough.
you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun
you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun
you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun
you are my suicide
the one who loaded my gun
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
Singing as you cut me down
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
Stand with me
It's safe to say I've had enough
The lyrics to Seether's song "Safe To Say I've Had Enough" are quite intense and can be interpreted in various ways. The song begins with the lines "What you seek is inside you, but you can never get enough. Words can't define you, the pig that grovels in a trough. Pain is a virtue, you wear it like a silken glove. Burn the ones around you, it's safe to say I've had enough," which seem to suggest that the singer is addressing someone who is constantly seeking more but is never satisfied. The reference to a pig groveling in a trough can be interpreted as a metaphor for greed and excess. The line "Pain is a virtue, you wear it like a silken glove" can be seen as a comment on the idea that some people believe that suffering is necessary for success or enlightenment.
The chorus continues with "Stand with me, singing as you cut me down. Stand with me, it's safe to say I've had enough," which may suggest that the singer is seeking support from someone who is also experiencing pain or suffering. The repetition of the line "It's safe to say I've had enough" emphasizes the emotional exhaustion of the singer.
The second verse begins with "The meek can't defy you, so run them down and use them up. Nothing left inside you, an empty shell who's talking tough," which could be a commentary on the idea that those who are weak or vulnerable are often taken advantage of by those who have more power or influence. The line "God let me chain you, I'll keep you in a silver box" may suggest that the singer wants to control or restrain the person they are addressing. The final lines "You are my suicide, the one who loaded my gun. It's safe to say I've had enough" could be interpreted as the singer blaming the other person for their own emotional distress and exhaustion.
Overall, the lyrics to "Safe To Say I've Had Enough" suggest a deep sense of emotional exhaustion and a desire for support and relief from the pain and suffering that the singer is experiencing.

So ironic that this song comes out as I'm having to make a lot of decisions in relationships I've had with people. Cutting em out one by one. Thank you Seether for another song to help me along and get through these things that hold me back. I've had more then enough and I'm not doing it anymore.
