Six Gun Quota
Seether Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find it hard to live with all my choices
It's time to turn a deaf ear to those voices
And did you ever think to ask my opinion (Yeah!)
Did you ever think to ask if I'm ok
I burned down every bridge that I found
Now I limit my self to a six gun quota
and I bottled them up till the well ran over
Yeah! Yeah!
Give every indication that you're mended
Take every rule you come across and bend it
Did you ever think to ask my opinion (Yeah!)
Did you ever think to ask if I"m ok
I burned down every bridge that I found
Now I limit myself to a six gun quota
I prayed down every feeling I felt
and I bottled them up till the well ran over
(x2)
It feels so good to be numb
Whoa-oh I hate what I have become
Whoa-oh it feel so good to be numb (Whoa-oh)
I burned down every bridge that I found
Now I limit myself to a six gun quota
I prayed down every feeling I felt
and I'm bottling them up till the well ran over
(x2)
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
The lyrics to Seether's song "6 Gun Quota" touch upon themes of regret, repression, and numbness. The singer expresses how difficult it is to live with the consequences of their own choices and how they have burned every bridge they have found. They have reached a point where they are limiting themselves to a "six-gun quota," as a metaphor for the restraint they have imposed on themselves. They have also tried to suppress their feelings, praying them down and bottling them up until the "well ran over."
The singer seems to be talking to someone who has never bothered to ask for their opinion or how they are doing. The lack of concern from others seems to have led the singer to repress their emotions and limit themselves from fully experiencing life. They suggest that it feels good to be numb, which could indicate that they are trying to avoid dealing with their problems, but they also hate what they have become.
Overall, "6 Gun Quota" is a song that speaks to the difficulty of dealing with past mistakes and the psychological toll that a lack of concern from others can take on someone. It also touches on the idea that repressing emotions can lead to a sense of detachment from oneself and ultimately create more problems.

I find it hard to live with all my choices
It's time to turn a deaf ear to those voices
Did you ever think to ask my opinion?
Did you ever think to ask if I'm okay?

Underrated gem, this one. FBINS will probably always remain my favorite Seether record.
@rufusonemamzaho4011
FBINS is the best album I have been blessed to listen to. Thank you Seether. The title of this album made me look on life in another light while listening to your music and singing along.

Seether always my No 1 Band. Album still sounds fresh

AS a kid, I wasn't much for music, but the time my uncle got me to rip a CD for his MP3 player and I listened to the album... I was in love with this.

This track slaps so hard! That chorus is fire emojis.
