Seether gained mainstream popularity in 2002 with their US Active Rock number one single "Fine Again", and their success was sustained in 2004 with the single "Broken", which peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. They have experienced continued success with number one hits on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, such as "Remedy", "Fake It", "Country Song", "Words as Weapons", and "Let You Down". The band currently consists of lead vocalist/guitarist Shaun Morgan, bassist Dale Stewart, drummer John Humphrey and guitarist Corey Lowery (exStuck Mojo, Stereomud}. Seether has undergone several lineup changes since their formation in 1999, with vocalist/guitarist Shaun Morgan being the only constant member.

The Gift
Seether Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all

I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
until I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all

Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all

Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this

Now I'm so ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Seether's song "The Gift" express the struggles of a person who is dealing with shame, defeat, and lack of self-belief. The artist expresses their need for relief and a purpose to hold onto as they feel ashamed of themselves and the lie they are living. They are afraid of the gift they have been given, which could be their talent, potential or anything that sets them apart. The artist feels like they don't belong and are not well, dwelling on the wrong side of life. They express that they cannot face themselves in the mirror and are ashamed of what they see.

The artist is also struggling with a personal lie that they have been living and trying to let go of, until they find something to say for themselves. They feel defeated, with no reason left to believe in themselves, as they are afraid of the gift that was given to them. The song portrays a sense of hopelessness and self-doubt. In the end, the artist wants to feel complete, like they matter to the one who needs them. The lyrics depict a poignantly relatable struggle of feeling out of place and lacking in self-worth.

I can honestly say I wouldn't be alive if not for this song. While in the Marine Corps, things got to a boiling point and I was ready to just end everything. This song popped up on my playlist on my 360 and for the first time I really listened to the words. I broke down, and finally all the built up emotions came like a flood. These are powerful lyrics, and I hope that somehow the band gets to read this. Thanks Seether, you saved a Marine's life.

You have to fight depression and anxiety everyday to overcome this feeling. It seems impossible at times, but I wanted to say this song has kept me going. This one lyric is so simple, but so beautifully portrayed in a song fitting for anyone fighting these issues. This song has literally saved people. So Thanks Seether. Thanks for understanding.

The song is about a man who kills a young girl in a car crash in Southern Mexico. Each year, on The Day of the Dead, he visits the cross at the side of the road at the place where she died, and spends the night there. Meanwhile, the ghost of a little girl goes into town with a Curandero to visit her father and sister, who the man had been dating. As he is driving to the cross, he sees the ghost walking on the side of the road. The ghost of the little girl leaves candy skulls, representing her forgiveness, on the man's bed. The "Gift" is the life he took, and the forgiveness she gives him.

P.S. Man y'all are letdowns, you can see the video or hear the song as you want but trash talking is not what he wanted out of his music. The ones commenting about this saving there lives or seeing something different than my comment that's one thing but the ones that down talk others because I c&p that's on you.

This song helped me get sober. Thank you Seether and thank you Shaun Morgan for putting yourself out there. This song truly played such a big role in me getting off meth. I remember playing this song at Max volume and crying in my car because I knew I needed to go to rehab ..For the third time. And that meant I had to tell everyone who was rooting for me that I was actually lying and actually a huge failure and I didn’t stay sober after my 2nd rehab. I lied to everyone for months, nearly a year. I had a small child, a 2 year old and I couldnt be the mother he deserved. Today I am meth free and me and my 5 year old son have an inseparable bond!! I’ve loved this song since I was 12, didn’t know it would have such a powerful impact on my life in my early 20s..love this band and love everything that they have unknowingly helped me through ❤️

I was told I was hated and believed that no one wanted me around. I heard this song and it as well as many other Songs by Seether helped get me through the roughest times I had in my life. Shaun Morgan may never read this note but hearing his voice and listening to the tune of all of their songs eased my mind.

This speaks to me on so many levels 😢❤ Your music has gotten me through the roughest times in my life. My son who was murdered 5yrs ago, during a home invasion, was in a pic on your website or a flyer for the show in WI. He was so tall so he stood out. He loved you just like u did. He grew up listening to you his bc of my awesome parenting. He snuck to see you guys perform at The Rave in Milwaukee and caught a drumstic!!!🎉He came home and told me about it, I was so jealous but he gave me the drumstick bc he was such a good kid. I miss him so much. Love you guys so much❤🤟

@TheSnowman1919

I love all the different interpretations of this song. My little sister turned to me after listening to it and said "i understand the title now" i said what? She said the gift is life and hes suicidal or mentally ill. I have always understood "the gift" as a womens love for him and he doesnt feel the same. I asked my wife what she thought the song meant and she said it reminded her about a guy who got someone pregnant but doesnt want a baby with the girl (baby being the gift). I then asked my older sister and she said it meant to her that this guy has an amazing talent (gift) hes really good at what he does but he hates doing it. My brother in law said it reminded him of a person who is an addict who keeps hurting his family. So many different meanings and all make perfect sense. Genius!

@youngsomalia1511

Considering the video is this whole homage to the Mexican day of the dead celebration, or at least so I've been lead to believe all of these years!, I always thought that the "gift" was in fact forgiveness for the life of the girl who he killed. Just because someone forgives you doesn't always mean you can forgive yourself "I'm so afraid", "I'm so ashamed" etc

Seether is one of my favorites. This song for sure, recently I was baptized and joined the church (saved many years ago and backslide, lose of a loved one) changed my life and re-devoted my life to Christ. The woman I truly love (love doesn't change even if a person does) isn't willing to change or even have respect for the fact that I have, and command a different environment or at least try. Tonight while she was at work, I was forced to leave the home I made, everything I worked for, and her. Now sitting here listening to this song I TRULY UNDERSTAND THIS SONG. I love her, pray for her, and hope she makes a happy and productive life in Jesus, because God comes first and I can't live a life devoted to him with her. Please pray for her, thank you.

Always loved this song and right now can’t stop playing this damn song, no joke 30 minutes on repeat. Been through hell and back and been addicted to pills for over half my life. Going through withdrawal right now and this hit home so hard. Everything spoke on this song is beyond exactly how I am feeling, thinking, and going through. So tired of taking pills I am blessed and so thankful never went to heroin and or fentanyl though. “I can’t face myself when I look inside a mirror for I am ashamed of that thing”. THATS WHY I DON’T LOOK AT THEM ANYMORE and haven’t in YEARS.
