See You At The Bottom
Seether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well in the fall all the leaves begin to sour
As helpless slave's, to a mother who's a whore
So you reveal all your naked non-compliance
A faceless name undeserving of a soul

Hey, can you hear me now?
I know I'm nothing but found
Say, can you help me out?
But my intention's were good
Hey, can you help me down?
What's lost is better unfound
Say, can you wait me out?
Cause I will see you at the bottom
See you at the bottom

If you stay I will feed you to the fire
And with a smile, I will rake you on the coal's
I cant believe I was bested by a liar
Cause I believe I was meant for so much more

Hey, can you hear me now?
I know I'm nothing but found
Say, can you help me out?
But my intention's were good
Hey, can you help me down?
What's lost is better unfound
Say, can you wait me out?
Cause I will see you at the bottom

(So)

Searching for god, god, god, god

Hey, can you hear me now?
I know I'm nothing but found
Say, can you help me out?
But my intention's were good
Hey, can you help me down?
What's lost is better unfound
Say, can you wait me out?
Cause I will see you at the bottom
See you at the bottom

I'll see you at the bottom
Hey, can you hear me now




(I'll see you at the bottom)
Hey, can you help me out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Seether’s song “See You at the Bottom” describe a sense of hopelessness and struggle. The opening line, “Well in the fall all the leaves begin to sour,” sets the tone for a bleak outlook on life. The following lines, “As helpless slave’s, to a mother who’s a whore / So you reveal all your naked non-compliance / A faceless name undeserving of a soul,” describe a feeling of powerlessness, as if the singer is a victim of circumstance and has no control over their life.


The chorus is a desperate plea for help, with the repeated lines, “Hey, can you hear me now? / I know I’m nothing but found / Say, can you help me out? / But my intentions were good / Hey, can you help me down? / What’s lost is better unfound / Say, can you wait me out? / Cause I will see you at the bottom.” The repetition of “hey” and “say” convey a sense of urgency, and the use of the word “bottom” suggests that the singer has hit rock bottom and has nowhere else to go.


The second verse builds on the sense of hopelessness, with lines like “If you stay I will feed you to the fire / And with a smile, I will rake you on the coal’s / I can’t believe I was bested by a liar / Cause I believe I was meant for so much more.” The singer seems resigned to their fate and almost welcomes it, suggesting that they have lost faith in themselves and the world around them. Overall, the lyrics to “See You at the Bottom” convey a sense of desperation and a struggle to find meaning and hope in life.

@motsumilioness

Improper grammar. It should be the following:

Slaves, not slave's. What belongs to the slaves? No possessives are needed.

Coals, not coal's. Again, improper possessive. What belongs to the coals? He is saying rake you on the coals, but the coals don't belong to anything.

Intentions, not intention's. Yet again... you do NOT need possessives with this or the other two!

Have no idea how old you are since it's a creepy cartoon avatar that looks about 15 years old, maybe 18. But either way, you should have learned proper grammar in English class. I mourn for English teachers who have to circle every incorrect paper with red pens. Texting is killing proper English.

When in the fall all the leaves begin to sour
As helpless slaves to a mother who’s a whore
So you reveal all your naked noncompliance
A faceless name undeserving of a soul

Hey, can you hear me now? (I know I’m nothing profound)
Say, can you help me out? (but my intentions were good)
Hey, can you help me down? (what's lost is better unfound)
Say, can you wake me out? ('cause I will see you at the bottom)
(see you at the bottom)

If you stay I will feed you to the fire
And with a smile, I will rake you on the coals

I don't know what it is, but I have an obsession with this song. I can listen on repeat for hours and not regret a single second of it.

@kingkrysen

@Justin-bc3qr

@peterk5561

I think this has a very 90's, grunge-y vibe to it. Which is definitely a good thing.

@leoj3490

Yes, and I love it, being born in 2003 I experience a bit of that grunge trend, and I'm glad Seether brought that back.

@bennyboyy7

Leo Johnston i was born in 1999 and it wasnt until about last year that i started hearing grunge like music and actual grunge music. i couldve looked it up but i didn't know what grunge was, i thought it was a band and i figured i wouldn't want to listen to it.

@PSYOP_BAND

Leo Johnston Umm....dude you didn't experience shit

@terryburton971

Im glad yall young folks found grunge ( nirvana,stp, aic) etc etc best music era ever for rock... And i like all kinds of music... But the 90s & 80s is what i listen to mostly rock on young people😈😈😈😈

@DeliriumXM

@Kry Kry Stott I grew up on it, and I'm glad I did. avenged sevenfold, Seether, Nirvana, and various other artist in the rock and metal scene were my middle school favorites. I still listen to them obviously...
