Sell My Soul
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And keep your ground
Don't let 'em down
Let 'em hear the sound
Don't let 'em find enough to use
And if you fall down
And bloody your gown
Get back up so you don't break down
Is it too late for me
To sell my soul unto the Devil
Is it too late for me to pray
That God keeps you alive
It feels like the sun has gone
And left me altogether
For this bell, its final chime
Well if you're beat down
From this comedown
Don't let 'em in
Give the run-around
Don't dare admit to anything
Keep your head down
And hide that frown
Don't you ever let 'em hear you drown
Don't let 'em sting or clip your wings
Yeah
Is it too late for me for me
To sell my soul unto the Devil
Is it too late for me to pray
That God keeps you alive
It feels like the sun has gone
And left me altogether
For this bell, its final chime
Is it too late for me for me
To sell my soul unto the Devil
Is it too late for me to pray
That God keeps you alive
It feels like the sun has gone
And left me altogether
For this bell, its final chime
The lyrics to Seether's song "Sell My Soul" are about standing strong and not giving in to external pressures. The first verse encourages the listener to maintain their integrity and not give others a reason to use against them. The second verse talks about being beaten down, but still not letting others in or admitting to anything. The chorus questions whether it's too late to make a deal with the Devil or pray for divine intervention, and expresses a sense of hopelessness and loss.
Overall, the song seems to be about feeling trapped or helpless in a situation, and wondering if there's any way out. The references to selling one's soul and praying to God suggest a sense of desperation and last-ditch effort to change one's fate. The repeated lines about the sun being gone and the bell's final chime create a sense of finality and dread.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it's about addiction or substance abuse. The line "From this comedown" in the second verse could refer to the aftermath of using drugs, while the idea of selling one's soul to the Devil is a common metaphor for giving into temptation. The reference to "this bell" could suggest a funeral or some other form of finality associated with addiction.
